West Jet is my Saviour!

Yay!
*does a little happy dance!*
Bunnies will be travelling better than the BF will be, it will seem - underneath the cockpit in a climate controlled room, apparently quieter than a seat near the wing would be!
In celebration of the rabbit's getting the go-ahead for travel, I purchased a new cage set-up for them. A little pricier than their old one, but a whole lot classier: stainless steel mesh siding instead of white rubber-coated squares.
Can't wait for my guests to arrive *grins*

"Harmony?" PAH!!!!

I laugh at the notion.
Harmony Airlines is giving us a bit of a runaround. We want to bring both bunnies in the same carrier at carry-0n baggage from Vancouver to Toronto, and . . . . we can't? Apparently they have issues with animals together in a carrier on their flights. They suck.
Anyways, quilting lately, trying to learn the ropes before I tackle the quilt. Perhaps I should call it "Il Quilte", because everything sounds so much more badass and epic in spanish!
My basement room is almost ready to begin in it's transformation from dumpy-cold-nasty-room to awesome-warm-comfy-sanctuary. Sooooo exciting! After nearly a week of removing old crap and packing away new crap and giving away useless crap. I am so excited I could almost spit. . .
*spits*

Zoe Washburne and Socks

I'm sorry it's so light.

Used a graphite pencil (mechanical). In case you don't recognise her, she's from Firefly (an awesome show about cowboys from outerspace - if you haven't seen it: please go do so)

And...socks! Finished this pair last week. Natural wool (worsted weight) with square heel. Very comfy - actually wearing them right now as I type. I'm thinking of dyeing them blue? We shall see.

Yikes!

Long time no post!
So, here I am in Ontario, living with my family once again. A nice vacation, actually. I've been playing house-wife: cooking, cleaning, getting my little brother and sister off to school, baking cakes, grocery shopping, laundry, knitting, clothing repair, you name it! Terribly excited about John coming out - only two more weeks!
Hallowe'en was awesomely fun: I dressed up as a "Rasta-fairy-an", donning dredlocks, a Jamaican hat and some glittery butterfly wings. No one knew what the hell I was, but I enjoyed the pun nevertheless.
As I'm sure you can tell by my "Movie review" off to the side there I've been watching a lot of kid's films lately. Apparently I've been out of the loop for the past 2 and a half years in the realm of children's cinema. I wasn't missing much, it would seem. Cute, but not terribly witty. Blech. . .
Piquette is doing well, though still mad at me. She and her sister, Rose, aren't getting along at all, though she and the new kitten are tolerating each other a great deal. They certainly are hard to call!
My dog and I have re-bonded, making me her current favourite person. She is getting at least one walk a day, her coat and teeth brushed every night, lots of toys and playtime and (now I didn't tell you this!) she can sleep in my bed. If ever you need to win over a dog's affections, the key isn't food - it's bed space and plenty of it.
I've been visiting Craftster a lot, and getting much inspiration for it. I have also found a really cool site by the name of Etsy where only handmade stuff is sold. I'm excited to open up shop, and am awaiting the arrival of a new sewing machine before doing so. Super primed though, I can't wait!

I'm stunned...

Of all the things that could have killed the man...
...
It's funny, because I've never met him, very few of us have, and yet, you feel such a connection with someone.
I've kind of lost a hero...
Not lost, I guess, but...
I don't know.

A girl with a side-pony tail

That's really it... just a doodle while I waited for something to load.

World of Warcraft Fan Art - Zheva

My Troll hunter, she's new. I'm RPing her as kind of a Crocodile Dundee type.
Again, at work...

Mall Girl

Again, slow day at work...
There was a little girl, round-faced and wide-eyed on the mall bench outside my store. I thought she was really cute, laughing and hugging her sister. I thought I would draw her.
Tried the style of an artist I saw recently...Sorry folks, can't recall the name of the link... anyways... I really liked the shaded nose-d and innocent eye-d that a lot of their drawing had. Although I didn't really do the style justice, I like the first attempt.

World of Warcraft Fanart - Moracai

My character, Moracai Bellkin, female Undead Priest. She's cool... I like.
Drew this from memory during a slow work day, graphite... HB2

Pencil crayons & me...

This is my first attempt at realistic pencil crayons in over a year...
be gentle...
The scanner kind of made it less pretty... but...
It was a sketch that I did and then decided to quasi-complete it... the reference photo was from a 1977 National Geographic, where a white family lived along side of a New Guinea tribe, and this is their little girl... I have always liked the photo, and I wanted to go for a cleaner version of the photo; 1977 quality that it was, a little grainy you see...
