Kitchen Fires on the Phone

Helloooooo Everybody!
Hope you've had a splendid weekend!
Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away?
November has flown by in a blink.
Soon it will be...that other holiday. :)

I think we'll start this post off with Moxie. She is coming along wonderfully. I am really happy with how she is progressing. She looks so different....with legs. LOL! I decided on buttons at her hips. They are a four hole white button that goes well with her 'faerie designs'. Her arms are next and then her outfit. I am hoping (hoping really hard) that I can finish her sometime this coming week. Wish me luck! Here are some progress pics for your viewing pleasure. :)

This past week was also full of ideas for my next DragonCon. Body suits, Skull makeup (twisted grin), feathered collars, feathered wig (?), bony spine and elvish shoes/boots? Five hundred different images running through my head. After this past year, I've realized that I have to start pulling things together much sooner. HA! That will remain to be seen. I'll have to keep you posted on the comings and goings of this one.

i saw this the other day and immediately

thought of Miss B ~ she'll know!!  :)

Friends of mine, Jan and Karen (you may remember them from my DragonCon posts), are working on a kitchen set for the grans. It's a converted entertainment center that is looking quite amazing. Jan has promised to keep me up to date on the progress (only if I remind her a hundred times a day, I'm sure). I just wanted to share it with you. I think you all will appreciate it!

the kids are gonna have a blast with this one!

This past Friday, after much (and I do mean MUCH) deliberation, I broke down and bought a new phone. My old phone was really acting squirrelly. Rang when it felt like it, just deleted text messages without warning, text to whomever it felt like sending them too regardless of the intended recipient. It would power down without any warning....it was becoming increasingly annoying. So after looking at phones and having a small coronary...I decided on one. I'm not going to share the price, it still pains me that I had to spend that kind of money on a phone. A cell phone at that. If it wasn't for my wife and kids I probably wouldn't have a cell phone. This thing will not leave my sight.....I spent more on this phone than I have on all the previous phones I've had combined. So needless to say, I am very 'protective' of it. LOL!

(it best damn well protect it!)

Today, and yes, I mean all day, I was busy working on a new fire pit out in the backyard. It's about 5 foot across. I used cinder blocks for the base and then capped them off. It also has two seats made from cinder blocks as well. It has turned out fairly well. Even though I now feel like I've been run down by a bus. I'm going to be so stiff tomorrow...I can already feel it. It will be nice to have it for fires though. I have one more seat to add to it but that will have to wait until I get a few more dollars gathered together. I took a couple of pictures to share, unfortunately I took them with my new phone and cannot for the life of me figure out how to send the damn things to my email. Technology will be the death of me yet. AND...in the process of building the pit, I broke my favorite coffee mug. :(  I've had this cup forever and a day. It really sucked! But alas, I will live. I'm sure I will find another, it just won't be the same.

I do believe that's all for this week.....

I hope you have a fantastic week (I will, off of work all week!).

If I don't see you before Thursday ~ Have A Fabulous Thanksgiving!!



Be Good, Be Safe, Be Happy!!!
