Sick of being sick...

I have one of those lingering colds, the kind that dont make you sick enough to go to bed and wake up feeling better, but you dont feel quite right when you are up. It sucks. Things are moving along though, I have gifts that have actually been made, wrapped and been given. I love having things start to move along again. For so long Ive felt like Ive been in a rut. Breaking free will be sweet. Still pushing the ornaments through. Im hoping to work seriously on the rest of them tonight..sigh.

Excitement at the inspiration...

Okay, so I found a definition for the style I would like to try next. Its called steampunk. A mixture of Victorian lace and elegance and steam driven cogs and exposed machinery! Its so nice to have a word to put to the feeling! Ive already begun sketching the doll and designing her companion and have accesories in mind for how it will all work out. And with the kids on Christmas break it will give me some time to start creating. Isnt a wonderful thing to have a name to put to the idea!!
