Appa came! He’s much bigger than I’d expected… he’s supposed to be a 16″ plush, but somehow he just seems huge…. more like 20″ or 22″. Even so, I think he’ll be a good scale for Aang. He’s super soft and fairly well made. I have Appa hanging out on my desk now. The general concensus is that he’s a bit catepillar-like, and the most frequently asked question is “Why does he have six legs?” Even so, he is a handsome bison and has received many compliments.
Appa and I would like to go home. ._.
I also decided that my favorite words to look at in writing are “balance” and “miscellaneous.”
Actually, I just pulled out a ruler and I think that they may have accidentally sent me the 22″ inch plush. Hm. Well. I’ll see how Aang looks with him when I get home. The invoice in the box says 16″, but he’s almost two ruler-lengths long. Should probably email the Nick Store either way and figure out what’s up.
There is so much I want to do tonight, but I think it’s going to continue to rain. Bummer. I’ve been so restless the last few nights. Maybe I can do some modding though, so at least when the weather clears up I can get stuff painted and finished.
Put in the application on the new apartment… hopefully we’ll find out within a week if we’re approved for it. When we do find out, there will be a lot of packing and cleaning to do. I want to have every commission out of here before we move so I don’t have to worry about losing or breaking anything durning the move. I hate moving. But I think the new apartment will be a nice step up. The apartment is about 1000 square feet and has air conditioning and a lot more storage space than our current apartment. Very excited, waiting eagerly to hear if we’re approved. I can’t wait to get out of our current apartment.
I feel like after I move, I’ll be able to focus more and work and sculpt more efficiently. I do hope to finish Fawn soon… I have been working on her ears and they are so dissimilar it’s not even funny. Nice thing is, though, that they are not presently attached… so I can sit them right next to each other and compare to figure out what the problem is. After her ears I’m on to her horns… then I need to return to the head proper and finish smoothing and work on the inside of the head.
Lots of small frustrations lately, but I am striving to find the small happinesses as well. I have a lot to be thankful for, and I really shouldn’t complain.
