That is all. Live long and prosper. \\//

I haven't been giving Sierra the attention she needs of late. She's been lonely and neglected, so I got her a new outfit, and when I took the Star Trek pics, I took pics of her too. Sierra loves purple. I found this adorable purple suit outfit on Etsy in the LynneCraft shop . She has purple sneakers too. I had to try the purple wig, of course. I don't really like it that much on Sierra, but I love how it looks on Amber. I switched to Sierra's brown wig. It's my favorite on her. Such a sweet face! And finally, a group shot. Everybody is great friends. Sierra feels much better now. Live long and prosper. \\//

Last Wednesday we lost our internet connection. I tried everything to get it to connect, but it wouldn't work. I finally called our service provider and they sent out a repairman. Unfortunately, though, he couldn't come out until yesterday. I went almost a whole week having to use my smart phone for internet access and NO Netflix. Not fun. My eyes are suffering some pretty nasty eye strain now from checking my email, Facebook, and Ravelry. The screen of a phone is too tiny for the amount of time I spend on the internet. I need to change some habits. And I don't really spend all that much time on it. Urg. I got some knitting done. I whipped up a Fairisle hat. It's a model for the Fairisle class I've scheduled to teach. Yes! It's teaching season again. I'm going to be doing two beginning knitting classes per month, on Tuesday mornings, and Saturday mornings, plus a sock class in October and Fairisle in November. I wish I had time to do more. Pattern : Basic No

I have finished all my Star Trek doll uniforms. This is Captain Penn. I can not believe how well this little sweater fits him. I loosely based it on a pattern for another doll, and adjusted it while I was knitting it (I wrote it all down so I can do it again.). I fully expected the sleeves to be either too long or too short, and they were perfect. Damn, I'm starting to get good at this knitting thing. The sweater is made with Berroco Folio, which is an Alpaca/Rayon blend. I really love working with this yarn. It's so soft to the touch. The black neck band is a bit of Wool Gatto from Lana Gatto yarns that I found in my stash. It's a superwash wool that's been in the stash a long time. I carried it in my shop. It's no longer being made. That's sad cuz it's a wonderful yarn. I used size 1 needles for this project. For the insignia, I embroidered it on a piece of stiff interfacing. I even went to the trouble to put the proper symbol on the insignia, though they&

That's what I call this outfit I got for Luna. Of all the outfits I have for her, this is, by far, my favorite. I found it on Etsy, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this talented seamstress will come up with in the future. Nobody showed up to install the insulation in the shop yesterday. I expect they meant NEXT Tuesday. The weather around here suddenly, and I mean suddenly, went from summer to fall. It was 91F degrees one day, and the next-BOOM. it was 64F degrees and raining. All of nature says and smells like fall. The leaves are turning. One thing about north Idaho. It doesn't monkey around when changing from one season to the next. By the way. Today is the 50th anniversary of the first day the first episode of Star Trek was aired. HAP PY B IRT HDA Y ST AR T REK !!! Live long and prosper. \\//

I have so many things to blog about. Today I'm going to repeat an opening show I did in the Facebook Wilde Imagination group. It's called an opening show because boxes that have arrived in the mail are being opened. Yes, I bought doll stuff. SQUEE! Look what the mailman brought! Ooooooo... Pretty boxes! Start the stripper music! Boom chuka boom chuka BOOM! Someone get a blanket! Yeah. Okay. Not as funny as I thought. In the boxes, right is Penn Braced for Mist (who isn't braced for anything at the moment) which I found on Ebay for an incredibly nice price. On the left is a top and skirt I got in the recent Tonner sale. In the middle is a doll from the Tonner Evengeline Ghastly line that I also found on Ebay for an incredible price. Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Angelique de la Nuit. She's 18 inches tall and I adore her. I've ordered a dress made by my sister of Jodiecreations.com which will be here in a couple days. I'm looking forward to knitting for her too. I h
