Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Shopkins trade?
« on: March 15, 2016, 12:45:46 PM »
My niece is nuts for these things.  I don't collect but I buy her the blind bag ones occasionally, and she has a few doubles of the newest ones and the Food Fair ones.  Since I don't know anything about them I'd have to ask her for a list of them, but does anyone here trade?

Off Topic / What's a pinched nerve feel like?
« on: February 16, 2016, 09:23:48 AM »
I have an appointment with my dr. tomorrow  ;)

Fairly frequently I get a muscle spasm in my left shoulder that doesn't go away for days.  I wake up like that!  You can see the lump of muscle under my skin.  I normally take muscle relaxants in combination with massage, stretching, heat/ice, anti-inflammatory medicine, trigger point therapy, and rest.  It usually goes away in about a week.  Annoying, painful, but nothing I can't deal with.   

But last week I woke up with a spasm that felt different.  When I look down or turn my head, there is a very sharp pain that radiates up my neck and down my arm to my shoulder.  I'm having spasms in my upper arm and down my back, and the arm feels weak.  I went to urgent care last Friday and was given prednisone, a strong muscle relaxant for the standard knot, and Tylenol 3 for pain.  The knot is gone already but there is a spot right where my shoulder and neck meet that, if I press on it, shoots pain down my arm.  My upper arm feels like it's vibrating.  I can't look down, arch my back, or reach the top of my head without burning stabbing pain.  Washing my hair and getting dressed is very difficult. 

Am I dying?   :P

Price Check Archives / PC - 3 Trim & Grow Dream Beauties
« on: December 04, 2015, 11:07:10 AM »
I have a spare of all 3 Trim & Grows and I need a PC.  I can get pics when I get home tonight.  All of them have their belly doors intact and none of them have any cracks or broken limbs.  I seem to have a ton of extra plugs but I'm not sure which plugs go with which ponies (I mean, I do, but not which ones of the plugs I have came with the ponies I have).  I kind of wanted to sell them together so someone will get the whole set all at once, since they're a bit harder to find than some other DB sets! 

Spritzy-
I had a pic of her.

She's yellowed and has scrapes to her symbol and eyes.  Nice hair.  She has at least one of her pink plugs but none of her purple ones.

Sheertrimmer-
Slightly yellowed, gorgeous hair.  I believe she has both hot pink plugs.

Mane Waves-
Yellowed (seriously what is up with this pearly coating?!).  Her most glaring flaw is her mane is chopped.  Part of it is about the length of a normal pony's hair and a chunk of it is shorter.  Her symbols are perfect and she has one fading pink plug (faded, naturally) but it has been cut to  about 3 inches (which was the point of them lol!).

Arts & Crafts Corral / Custom plushies - Lyra & Bon Bon
« on: November 03, 2015, 07:35:15 PM »
Not a lot to say about these girls, I'm trying to clear my backlog of half-completed plushies taking up space so I can concentrate on some difficult commissions.  ^^;

Both are for sale, and ideally I'd like them to go together.  They're in my Etsy store:

Because I have never seen one, in all my years of searching!

I don't mean the one with the painted symbols, but one with fully embroidered symbols.  I have embroidered (and painted) versions of the other 3 and have been looking for Firefly for at least 10 years and have never seen even a picture of her.  I assume she exists because the other 3 Applause ponies exist in both versions, but does anyone have a picture? 

And most importantly, if you do have one are you willing to sell her to me?  XD

Arts & Crafts Corral / Custom Plush - Cutie Mark Crusaders
« on: October 26, 2015, 07:29:39 PM »
Well geez, can't make one without making them all!  I started them over a year ago and finished Sweetie Belle's body, and then abandoned the project when I couldn't get the right fabric for Scootaloo and I realized I'd have to make patterns for all their hair.  But then a different commission forced me to do Sweetie Belle's hair so there was no reason not to finish her, and you can't have JUST one CMC so I started working on Apple Bloom, and she came together so easily I moved right on to Scoots (including correct fabric!).

These babies are for me, because I never get to sew for myself, lol!

Arts & Crafts Corral / Custom plush - G2 Diamond Glow
« on: October 20, 2015, 06:43:37 PM »
For AnitasMom, who is freaking amazing.

I had to overhaul my pattern to get the TAF-like design on.  Diamond Glow has a custom flankless body pattern, custom feathers, and custom wings.   The swirls and wing embroidery were also custom made by me, and I had to edit the swirls to get them to fit on the body, which is why they don't 100% match the pony's pattern.  The "tinsel" in her hair is hand embroidery thread, which I shaped to the flow of the hair and tacked down by hand.  She is also stuffed with different polyfil than I usually use, to make her thinner than my usual customs so she better matches a G2.  The eye crystals are acrylic gems. 

I am not making another one of these.  Ever.  ^^;

Off Topic / American Horror Story: Hotel
« on: October 15, 2015, 05:58:10 AM »
Why aren't we talking about this yet?!

With memories of "Coven" still surprisingly fresh, I am continuing to side-eye Mare Winningham this season. 

Spoiler
So I guess the hotel functions much as the Murder House?  Die in it, stay trapped in it forever?  I've read there's a link between the two, and I wonder if that's the extent of it (beyond having the same unfortunate real estate agent).

Celestia is boxless!  Her horn is a bit bent.  No obvious flaws other than that.  Displays very nicely! 

I have a spare basket for the Lavender Dream Castle.  It is not broken but the very top of the handle is bent, like it's been used to haul something heavier than Spike over the years.  ;)  The plastic has turned paler where the bend is but it's not cracked.  It does not have the winch attached.  I'd like to trade it for something from my wishlist, or I'd sell it outright for $10 + shipping. 

Additionally, if you see something in my Etsy store you'd like to trade for, I would be happy to work something out.

For Trade / Fashems - Apple Bloom for Rarity
« on: September 02, 2015, 10:40:03 AM »
Well, I managed to get three (3!!!) Apple Bloom Fashems at the same time, despite Mr. Skeen's assurances that one of them was definitely "the orange one," so I would like to trade one of the extras for Rarity.  I have the pink capsules and inserts still but I'll happily toss them to make shipping easier.  I don't require the capsules or insert myself.  Thanks!

Anyone else grab one yet?  Mine is out for delivery.  I like that Aurora has moved away from the cloth hair, if only because the hair on Luna was a train wreck. 

I think she looks grumpy though.  XD
