Well children...I'm back.

Hope everyone played nicely and didn't get into too much trouble online or in the real world.

As for myself ~ the time away was... interesting ~ in a hermitish sort of fashion.

My creativity (what little of it that is still kicking around) went completely dorment. I did some of the reading I wanted to and got some of the kimono disassembled and washed that I'd planned on taking apart. Less than I'd hoped to but whatevs...

I spent waaaaay too much time trolling the internet via a straw and as mentioned that was mostly relegated to stalking BJD (ball-jointed-doll) forums.

The reason for that was first off ~ they seemed to load faster than IJ or even my email...and because I've been bit by their little resin fangs and converted to the dark side (no one's really shocked about I assume)...besides, dial-up and no family afforded the time to lurk n learn....and yes get into trouble ~ but that's a story for another day. *flaps hands*....

I returned home Sunday to heaps of mail ~ (thank you Tameiki, Eve, Sildil, Kathy, assorted relatives and of course those ebay sellers) ....and of course projects.

Strangely enough the day after I returned the back-ordered cork for the office wall arrived. I'm putting that up tomorrow after the freshly washed wall is nice and dry.

I have to parge the exterior wall alongside the driveway next week and yes....the rocks/retaining wall/garden/front step need attending to. All before the 28th...because I am off again on the 29th, but with Teh Bob this time.

ANYway...one of the things that arrived in the post was something I'd ordered for the Obitsu duo...this will be Masa's suit (Monk doesn't know he's cosplaying yet)...and I took a moment today to have a bit of fun with it....and the boys. >)





( The new suit )

The postman left a box today and I forgot entirely that it's contents was slowly making it's way across the Pacific to me.

The contents were a pair of chairs....for dolls of course.

The are a fantastic red pair ...modern faux leather and ridiculously reasonable....and 1/6 sized.

I pounced on them when HobbyLinks was doing their inventory and listed them.....and I seem to have bought the last pair.

Anyway...since I was in a *why the heck not * mindset, I photographed opening them with...a doll.

( Dude takes a seat )

I joined a forum the other day, one that is generally about these dolls and not make/model/type specific ~ which most other forums tend to be...in a doll-nazi sorta way.

ANYhoo ~ I discovered something there when I was poking about ~ people take pictures of their dolls and even better...the do *photo stories* with them.

It's all great fun to see what people do with their variety of dolls and when I introduced myself and my Obitsu (model) boys and J-doll...someone remarked that the fellas looked like they wanted clothing and were waiting patiently for me to cough some up.

That got me to thinking and my creative itch needed scratching immediately ~ so while the guys were paving my driveway today I got busy ....below is the image rich tale that evolved from that thought.
