Stardust Asylum

The world falls down…but at least I have spats.

This was me right before Dolpa, lounging, not so attractively, but aren’t my shoes cute?

I don’t know how interesting a run down it’ll be, but here we are.
-Learned to crochet from scratch. I was actually proficient enough to make several Christmas presents.
-Worked on my cooking track record. Went from 1 in 5 cooking disasters to 1 in 7. I actually now have meals that people request I make for [...]

+ Well, NaNoWriMo ends tomorrow, and I’ve only made it to 20,095 words. However, I have also crocheted two kids toys and a hundred rows of a blanket. Does that count at all?
+ Sparrow is here, and it’s so weird to finally have one of my ultimate dream dolls in the house. I find that [...]

The Ukrainian word for circus is ????. You would say that “tsyrk.” Well, my Grandpa would say it that way, anyway.
It’s hard to think that he’s been gone a few months now. It’s hard to think of the questions that I never got to ask, the stories I never heard. He didn’t want to talk [...]

Well, my little Baha is on his way to a new home, and I’m rather relieved. The poor kitty, with his adorable pout, just sat on the shelf in the living room. I guess I’m really not an anthro doll person. Anyway, the money is going into the “Yep, I’ll definitely need money for NY [...]

Ah…just finished watching “Science of Sleep” and my love for sloppily stitched felt creatures and men who slip fluidly amongst several languages is reaffirmed and I may be ready to handle the rest of the week.

Versai is on [...]

Sometimes it’s very hard for me to be what other people need, even when I can identify the need. Sometimes it’s very difficult to say ‘thank you’ or ‘I love you’ without those words, to make it something not usual, but not weird, something meaningful, deep, and fresh.
