Blue Fingernails

I am fully aware that I have not posted in a very, very, very...

--one hour later--

...very, very long time.  I am sorry.  I was on vacation.

Moving on.  Here's the finished Spitfire figurine:

Painting camouflage: requires toothpicks.

I gave Spitfire to a friend for Christmas and was pleased when she proceeded to bounce around the room with joy.  I now have a request from another friend to make Beth.  I already have a plan sketched out for that, though now I'm at a lack for clay, or an accurate oven to bake it in.  Come spring break, an ~6" tall Beth should exist (and I'll have to paint more urban camouflage.  Fun!)

In other news:  I am officially tired of my fingernails turning blue.  Chicago is surprisingly warm for January (mid 40's today) so apparently I need to wear more layers.  Or invest in a pair of house shoes.  Or maybe wrist warmers, that might help (now where'd I put my knitting book...?)

Earworm of the day: Exit Calypsan (Into The Ice Cave) by Falling Up  My uncle got me Discover the Trees Again for Christmas.  I had this song stuck in my head for 3 days.  Falling Up rocks!
