some women may be from venus, but crafty girls are from mars
Here's the latest Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls doll from my sis-in-law, Lauren Faust. Mars is the creative one, so I'm adding her to my list of muses. I've got at least five projects in the works right now, but nothing in the show-and-tell phase yet. Good thing I've got a long weekend coming up!

What a talented family! Love the roller skates. I also need to mention that I really loved your SPT this week, you look famous in it. : )

I found you via... Kipling on 7 Deadly Sinners? Whose work I was aware of, but found her again because of her Cy painting that got featured on Boing Boing?
Anyway, I'm a big fan of Lauren's work, and your bro's, and I was shocked to see the relation, and thanks for sharing this doll because it's cool, and I have a craft blog too (which is not a knitting blog despite the URL), so I'll be around. After I catch my breath.

Awwwwww-- you posted Mars! You didn't hafta, y'know....
And thank you for the X-mas scarf-- it is lovely, and quite the perfect color for my wardrobe. I'm wearing it today, in fact. And I love the toy you knitted for Craig-- it's just awesome. It will look good in his orange office (when it's finally repaired..)
KIWI- I made stencils off of my drawings and stenciled with acrylics. Then I embroidered the line work (stem stitch.)
