I love the blue glints in the cinnamon-y palette! Also the warm, peaceful atmosphere of this photo. Harmony indeed!

What a sweet thing to say! Thank you!

These guys must be talking about something extremely important or fascinating, because they have been standing here like this since Halloween night, the 31st of October.

To their credit, they haven't fallen down in all that time.

I've spent quite a bit of time over the past few days trying to clear out a space to set up my doll scenes and uncover some buried tubs of figures and accessories. But you've heard that ex-pression, "nature abhors a vacuum," right? Yeah, well, as soon as I got a space cleared, something came up... getting a piano tuned, in this case... that necessitated moving an absolute ton of stuff to get it out of the way. Guess where it ended up? Yup, in the space I've been laboriously attempting to clear. Now everything is totally messed up, disorganized, and buried again.

I'm not sure whether to feel frustrated or sad, or maybe both.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to say "Blankety-blank it all" and give up on this stupid Doll a Day thing, even though we're less than two weeks from the end of the year.

But if these two GI Joe guys can keep standing in one place for two months without falling down, I guess I can keep going without falling down on the job as well. These guys were ready to step up when needed, after being totally ignored for almost two months, for a quick snapshot to keep things rolling. I'd be letting them down if I give up now.
