Here and There

I'm still on a blog hiatus of sorts. Fixing up apartment, trying desperately to get studio set-up and organized; hanging out at the dog park; chasing Sophie around and trying desperately to keep her out of mischief; going to therapy; annoying Anon; chasing away the Alien and his smelly feet; and just going crazy in general.

I'm somewhat active at Fur - a new blog about pups and related thingies - and now am Twittering. It is easier for me to pop out a quick message than attempting an entire blog post.

tata for now...

We Wear Our Scarves Like A Noose

I really love this video. I also love the song. I also want that suit.

Illustration Friday - Forgotten

Willa_dg

Spirits tend not to be seen by the average human eye; therefore, are easily forgotten. Willa is one soul who refused to be left behind, so she is more than happy to manifest herself to have her picture taken.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those who have not forgotten me. Things have been much better for a while now - I keep meaning to post this - but crap continues to hit the fan and there has been so much to do. The worse has been that I'm creatively dry as a bone. Willa was something I started a while back and just tinkled with a bit for IF. She didn't come out as I hoped. Anyway, more on that later.

Thanks so much to all who left such supportive and kind comments and to all those who emailed. I may post here now and then if my muse ever returns or I have something to say.

In the meantime, you can keep up with me at other places (though, I'm slow working on those projects, also):

Thanks again!

Breaking Point

Self3_dg

I haven't been around much lately. So much has been going on - both good and not so good. I was going to announce an official hiatus, along with several other posts I needed to catch up on, but my computer died and other things kept happening. Even more recent, a great loss has occurred. I'm shutting down this blog for now, maybe forever. Hard to say with the way I'm feeling right now.

I'd like to apologize to several people to have sent me emails in the past couple of months that I've yet to respond to. I truly appreciate your encouragement and the kind words. I do hope to reply eventually.

Also, thanks to all those who commented here, especially the regular visitors, you always brightened my day.

I hope to be back soon, but one just never knows about these things. So much has happened and what the changes in my life will be, I don't yet know.

Take care,

Happy Valentine's Day

Val_dg

You know me, if its not Halloween I don't care! Heehee...Anyway, I made this cutie patootie Valentine for everyone. I must tell you, though, that after this sweet couple posed for this pic they started fighting like cats and dogs!

Hope you've been having a fabulous day with or without a Valentines!

Illustration Friday - Choose

Feb2_08_fishy3

The Fish Wife - so many lovely fishies, it was hard to choose only one.

Alas, this was made as a Thing-a-Day thingy a couple days ago. It has come in handy because I have not posted to IF since can't remember when and am currently feeling creatively challenged. For those of you (ahem, Very Strict Headmistress) who want to track my progress on Thing-a-Day may do so here. And if you are keeping an eye on me (ahem, Very Strict Headmistress), I expect comments!

Thank you and Godspeed to you all....adieu adieu adieu.

Valentine's Day for the Dark at Heart

Sheep Amazon.com has gathered together some nifty Valentine's Day gift lists, but this one is my absolute favorite.

Need A Challenge?

I'm in such a rut, winter blahs and all. I've signed up for Thing-a-day in which you create something new each day of February. It doesn't have to be a complete project, they don't expect you to put more than one hour into it. I'm telling everyone because if you are interested you need to sign-up NOW. Today is the last day to register.

Let me know if you do and we'll cheer one another on.

I've YouTubed It

My first video - woohoo! Feedback is welcome if you please, here and/or on YouTube. Thanks!

Illustration Friday - Stitch

Stit_dg_2

The mother had to be stitched up after delivering the child. The child required 39 stitches after teasing the dog. Mom still wasn't sure if it was all worth it.

Memes for Me Me

Shani has picked me to list seven weird things about myself. I've done this before but I certainly have more than seven weird things to list; the question is - which ones do I want to share. Well, here they are:

1. I own an alter ego doll. She is a Living Dead Doll named Sloth and she sits by my computer. She is my constant reminder (as if I needed one) that I'd prefer to be napping.

2. My favorite neighbors are all cats and dogs (literally).

3. I am currently a Japanese Ghost.

4. I want to live in a haunted house next to a cemetery.

5. I cannot eat a meal unless I have at least two napkins.

6. I like cheese, but I don't love it.

7. When I was little, I wanted to be a vampire and would run around biting people.

***********************************

Duck everyone, a new meme is going around - achoo! Studio Lolo tagged me (I'll get you my pretty) with a meme created by Kim of I'm With Sully (and I'll get your little dog). Because Ms. Lo described me as a "good sport" I feel obligated to live up to such a title. Okay, here we go:

1. Voted most likely to:

Be institutionalized.

2. Regrets:

Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption. Of that, take care and just be careful along the highway. And more, much more than that, I did it my way

3. It's a Monday, you're tired and don't feel like working, so you:

Take a nap.

4. You would prefer to have dinner with:

A butler serving me.

5. If you were going bald, you would:

My cat likes to sleep on my head; so, I'd just wear her there all day.

6. You lay awake at night, pondering:

What's it all about, Alfie?

7. If you were forced to share a cubicle, the most important thing you'd look for is:

A new job.

8. What is most likely to be found in the trunk of your car?

My ex.

9. Favorite "Spinal Tap" moment:

It has been so long ago since I saw it that I really don't remember.

10. Based on your work history, the job you SHOULD HAVE right now is:

Super-Villain.

11. Your imaginary band name is:

Undead Enigma

Anyone who wants to partake in all this fun is welcome. Let us know in the comments section so we can come visit you and make fun of your answers. };-}

It Might Be Love...

...but probably not. I have a million or so posts I need to catch-up on but just had to show off my new crush. This is Trevor of The Whitest Kids U Know:

She was 100% woman but a really good man.
