Waxing Nostalgic.....

There is a great website that has all sorts of vintage television clips, songs, videos, etc....

www.youtube.com

My husband and son have been YouTubing for months now....and spend a lot of time sitting at the computer together chuckling over all sorts of funny things.

So this afternoon I checked it out to see what alla the hubub was about

And lookie what I found!! Anyone relatively close to my age (38), I am sure remembers!




If you search the site for Sesame Street, there are hundreds of great Bert and Ernie sketches, Kermit the Frog, various other monsters, Guy Smiley, and even those great counting and other educational cartoons (Ladybug Picnic, The Alligator King, etc.)

I was in Memory Lane Nirvana. :)

If you want to smile -- go check it out!!

****One caution though......most of the videos on the site are cute and harmless, but I also have to say that some are NOT. Just some advice to be careful what you click on. LOL****

My muse is on vacation.....

Seems like I haven't done much in the way of anything creative lately. My muse has been silent...I suppose she must be in the Bahamas working on her tan or something. :)

I did pick up my trusty paint brushes this week and worked on some miniatures. And I'm all set to crochet a purse tonight.....so maybe she's on her way back home now. Hope she brings me a T-shirt, or other nifty souvenier.

A big thank you to my Favorite Color Swap partner. Here's a picture of the great blue and purple stuff I received from her!



I especially love the blackberry herbal tea and the cool glass oil candle. :)

The kids are all doing great. Mikey had some friends over to play D&D the other night. Here's a picture of the dungeon he laid out for them....



Joshua is on a Veggie Tales kick. My husband has puppets of Bob, Larry and Junior Asparagus. They are now Joshua's favorite companions. He carts Bob and Larry evvvverywhere, even to bed with him.



And here's some pictures of the models I've been working on this week.




The Sunburst Crew is from Warmachine -- part of the Protectorate of Menoth faction. Just a bit more to do on them....the last bit of detail, lining in, and clean up....plus putting the whole thing on a base...and its done. But I have lots more protectorate to go....seems like everytime I think I've made progress getting my army finished, I find more models that aren't done. :) Or my husband buys me more models. lol. It's a never ending project.

I'm also gearing up to paint some Warmachine Cryx faction models. I had to assemble and prime them...haven't started painting on them yet. My brain is still trying to come up with a good color scheme.





And I've painted one Bridge Troll. I have the Starter Set for Hordes Trollblood, plus one large Warbeast....and I wanted to experiment on a Bridge Troll model before I started painting on my Hordes models.

Here's the first coat from the front:



Here he is after a 2nd coat.



I'm going to try and finish him up tonight....last detailing coat and his base to work on. I definitely wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night. lol.

TTFN!
