Just When I Thought My Scene Was Safe

So here comes my sweet son to further accessorize my scene. Nice.

And I see the baby is now in the sink...alone! And what is a bunny doing there. My scenes..never safe again.

The thing in the toilet is a Lego rock monster and the bunny is a Safari miniature.

Geek Grotto

Einie and Colossus have a great hangout full of all things geeky...and a little bit messy.

They have shelves full of their favorite things.

Einie loves the online video game show Video Games Awesome which is billed as the most casual, least informative video game show on the internet. WARNING:  My son says the show gets a bit raunchy at times.

Their messiness benefits their little friend.

A beer bottle in the cactus?

They got this great poster at a bar they went to last night.

And, they've "enhanced" their almost life size model of Princess Leia into "Cthulleia."

Another sexy girl looks to be propping up the lamp or vice versa.

Snacks and knives...necessities.

And, of course, they must discuss the bad movie they've rented.

I was toying with making a red scene in honor of Valentine's Day, but I was having absolutely no inspiration. I started with the rug and the red CB2 chair, but I was stuck. My son Will started making some shelves and then took it from there. He created this hilarious scene using lots of little items from his collections. I think there are more collaborations in our future. Still waiting for my husband to help with one.

Bi-Level Bathroom or See Where An Accidental Boob Graze Gets You

Beautiful new bi-level bathroom is all tidy and ready for the family.

Even matches and a plunger...just in case.

Time for baby's bath.

Here's the accidental boob graze.

And...here's what it leads to.

Just a comment on the fact that this bi-racial couple has a very blonde baby. I believe in love most of all and whatever love creates whether it is by birth or by other means is wonderful. In this blog we don't discriminate in any way, not based on color or ethnicity or country of origin..none of that (in fact we even have consorting between humans and mutants; see prior blogs).  

Just Playin' 'Round With Samples

I've got all these samples and I'm going to use them all. I started awhile back using them in the drinking alone series, then in the seasons series and now I'm just going to do the rest higglety pigglety one after another. It's kind of a nice challenge and fun from a color/decor standpoint.

I liked these because they have a sort of greenish tinge...I'm usually not a green person. The greenishness didn't really show in the photos...ah well.

I wanted something in the teapot that was brownish and used Coke. Funny, you can see the bubbles.  Again...ah well.

All in all, I wouldn't mind spending some time sipping tea in this room.

Have not done credits in some time. Here are some of them:  Room is Lekman house from Ikea, couch is Bozart Kaleidoscope furniture, coffee table is a glass sample on top of a napkin ring, lamp is a plastic Chess piece with a toothpaste tube lid for a shade (I saved a bunch of lids and will be featuring the lamps a lot), rug is a Shade Store sample, wallcovering is another sample, side table is a metal thing sent to me by Neomi with a Petosky Stone (state stone of Michigan) for a top, book is by Oese, tray is vintage German from my childhood, coral is mine, the shells and teapot and cups are from a mini friend named Monika.

Happy Birthday to Jazzi!!

Conservatory Workday

First a little work in the Conservatory.

There's watering to do.

Records to update.

Notes to check.

Any disease?

Re-potting.

When that's all done, conversation and refreshments.

It's Christmas in the Conservatory

I got the cool cacti in planters at my favorite Saturday morning place, the Kiwanis Sale. They are Italian and cost an exorbitant $1.30. Just kidding, that's a great price.  

I find it funny that I used the little clear containers for "coffee" last post and now they serve as "dirt."  Actually they were filled with the spice, sumac, in both posts. Looks just like coffee and dirt, no?
