Smokey

My Smokey was nearly twenty when we had to take him to the vet in July and have him put to sleep. He was very sick, as I believe I’ve mentioned a few times before. Maybe I haven’t, I can’t remember… It’s been awhile. I’m back now to share more of Alegro’s little world with [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve been shooting in all different lights all weekend in my experiments… But more on that as the week progresses. I used Puricute again… I can’t help it sometimes. It makes the adorable photo-booth pictures I can’t get here. I got carried away and made one for Alegro DeviantArt ID >>. Anyway… [...]

Gaia Online

So… Today I was sitting around and feeling sort of listless. I didn’t feel like being very social but I didn’t just want to sit in front of the TV all day (nor did I feel like doing my homework). So I decided to play some games on the interwebs. I made an account on [...]

A Carrying Case for Alegro (That Anyone Can Make!)

I have a long over-due tutorial for all my doll-carrying friends out there who don’t have a proper case for their delicate resin kids. Since Alegro and I are going to the Biltmore House tomorrow and all I have for him is the box he came in, I knew I had to pull together something [...]

It’s That Time of the Year

Goodbye, little tree. It’s time to take you down until next year. Time to wrap up every single one of your kajillion ornaments and waste three rolls of paper towels and a whole stock of a tissue boxes. It’s time to hope all your sparkles don’t fall off and your glass stays in tact while [...]

Holiday Tradition

Like Thanksgiving, the holidays around my childhood and even now are just heavily steeped in tradition. Even though I’ve moved out of my house and my parents have moved multiple times, tradition remains the same. Every year I come over to their house to help decorate for the holidays, and every year we play the [...]

Twitter? Guess Not.

I thought about joining Twitter (yes, I must be the only person alive that isn’t there) for updates with evictious, etsy, and Alegro, as well as other things I’m up to in my ‘professional life’, but upon searching for Ball Joint Dolls to see if anyone else might be about, all I found were people [...]

Puricute – Photobooth Pictures

I found a website online that lets you use any photo on your computer and turn it into a mock-photobooth image with fun borders and stamps. It’s an easy process, but you need to scale your raw images down some or they won’t load (or at least, mine didn’t). The website is here: http://www.puricute.com/ You [...]

Poladroids

Happy Monday *grumbles*. I found an interesting program over the weekend called “Poladroid”, which is terribly addicting. You can download it for free here: http://www.poladroid.net/download.html This program lets you drag any picture into the camera on the desktop, which spits out a little Polaroid that you can move around your screen. You watch it develop [...]
