(sorry if the address in the last entry doesn't work.)

Whew! Christmas is over...on to different projects!

My son goes to a class at school for smarty pants kids ELP (Extended Learning Program).
This year they are studying Astrobiology! They have a project to pick one of 5 moons and a planet where life would be plausible (Mars, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Titan, Enceladus) and then make up creatures that would live on it. It's really awesome and I've repeatedly told his teacher how jealous I am that HE gets to go to her class and I don't!
Well, I decided that I would just have to make my own project while helping LightningBoy with his. She thought it was an awesome idea.

Right now I have material and ideas on how to actually make stuffed animal models of LightningBoy and my Aliens. (and ArtGrrl is making some too)

Now I just need to figure out how to sew a dome shape! Perhaps I could look it up on the internet how to do that?

Plus, my creature looks like an eyeless Manatee with a human nose. I have to try to sew that too!

Also, I want to make an earflap hat for ArtGrrl (but she thinks the one at the store would be better. argh)
AND fingerless gloves for me and Ross so we can play World of Warcraft during the winter time with warm hands. Hands can get cold while typety typing!

Pictures will come... but until then make sure to read my "REAL" blog at

wish me luck!
