Wonderland

The Milky Way passes over Texas

Something to make you boggle a bit. Space... sigh. *bliss*

Ding! 80

Late to the party, yes, but those zombies won't kill themselves...

Crystalsong Forest, in a wedding dress and bandit mask. (Thanks to James and Tim for the help!)

I shoulda gone for the action pose though, 70 was far more majestic.

 

Just in time for them to up the level cap to 90, I'm sure! Cataclysmic!

Do You Want To Date My Avatar

Felicia and Guild-pals do pop! (yep, catching up post-holiday...)

"Here in cyberspace there's no dis-ease..."

Superb - and it's a co-pro with Jed Whedon, no less. (Thanks Matthew!)

I'm glad to see Dr Babsi's Papermint made the exhibition, too, well done Babsi! (I'm a judge for Indiecade, but Papermint wasn't on my ballot so I can say that with impunity I hope.)

Dagobah frogtank

Yes, you read right. A Dagobah.. frog-growing tank.

 

Well now I want to grow frogs!!

Immensely detailed Troll plushie

It's not often Trolls get love. The best WoW plush I ever saw was this gorgeous Tauren hunter, but this little Troll is a contender. The detail!

 

He's even got little plush arrows in his little plush quiver there. Wah.

My troll guildie Anno will be very pleased, even though this little fella was unfortunately sold an age ago.

Link cossie for babies

Hallowe'en is fast approaching, and I can't knit, so this beautiful outfit is out of the question, sadly.

Has anyone ever seen a Link outfit for toddlers? The kid is made for a Windwaker outfit.

See? 

While on a theme: hand-sewn and embroidered Link slippers!

And a Windwaker cake. (Old but glorious). O gosh.

What a wonderful zombie world...

Jody tweeted this, and it is superb - the synching of "the colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky" with the Boomer's arcing vomit is hilarious (c. 1m).

(Still on holiday, but this nips in...)

Holiday!

I'm on it, and have been for two weeks, hence the silence.

One more week to go!

Canada is boiling, sweltering hot. Who knew?

Companion Cube cupboard

Oh this really was a triumph...

 

 

 

There's a cake, too, in amongst the many pictures documenting this lovely, lovely box.

(Thanks Cory!)
