Out of town
I'm leaving tomorrow for a short family visit. I'll be back on Tuesday. I may not have internet access while I'm gone, so if I'm not answering e-mails, that would be why.

Yay sprites
This is what I did with my evening:
My afternoon was spent on regular sewing work, but honestly I've been doing so much sewing the last couple of weeks I was bored stiff. So, beading instead! These were all commissions too. Man, I love getting paid for bead sprites. Making them is practically meditative, and such a nice break from sitting and sewing. (I stand when I do them, my spriting "table" is the tops of some fur fabric tubs and it's at a good height for standing.) I'm sure if I did enough of them I'd get sick of it too, but for now they really are a nice break. Variety is the spice of life, etc., etc.
Anyhow, hoping to get commissioned for another batch of these. And having discovered Mystery Dungeon sprites, I'm having a ball with them. They're way nicer art than the main game battle thumbnail sprites, but way smaller than the main game full size sprites, which are often absurdly large and expensive to do. http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/pkmndungeon2/index.html <--Mystery Dungeon sprites there, for anybody that might want one. :D They're nearly all $5 or $6, except for a few of the biggest pokemon.

Everything shipped!
Everything I've finished recently (except the ermine Loonakit, sorry Mahal!) has been shipped out today. Hopefully there won't be any significant delays in its arrival, though I hear shipping to europe is still kind of iffy just now.

...oops
I am a spaz. I completely spaced all the preparations to hit the post office until just now, when of course it is too late. And tomorrow I volunteer at the Raptor Center so I'm not sure I'll be able to go. *facepalm*
Uh... sorry? Will ship things out asap, maybe tomorrow, but it might be Thursday.

Back!
Mini vacations are awesome. Work is less awesome, but money is kind of good to have.

Going to be out of town for two days. :) Just so you know why I'm not answering my e-mail.

FA is back! Art contest is on
FA is back! So anybody who wants to sneak in a last minute art contest entry now has 24 hours to do so. After that it'll finally be over, I'll announce the winners, and start working on the prizes. :)
I might not actually get prizes done for Christmas, just FYI. Between this shoulder thing and the contest being delayed a week I don't think I'll have the time. But they will be done in a timely fashion.

A small snag
I can't announce the winners of the art contest yet, because furaffinity is down.
Well, okay I could, but half the people who said they might be interested in entering did so via fa, and I don't want to shut them out unfairly. So it's just going to have to wait until the site is back up.

Last day for the art contest
Entries are due by midnight Pacific time tonight. Though I'll be up a few hours after that, so if you're a little late it's okay. :)
