I can't remember the other name I thought of, after I'd already chosen the name Choxie, but I think poppet naming is a bit like naming pets - it's kind of personal and when you hit on the right name you just know it.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-41606197088247129182008-02-28T09:30:00.000-06:002008-02-28T09:30:00.000-06:00Oh, silver stars sound fun! :)You'll have to show...Oh, silver stars sound fun! :)<BR/>You'll have to show us the end result whatever you decide. <BR/>I don't think mine's a Godiva (too grand?) but thanks for the suggestion.

This has been quite a snow year, hasn't it?<BR/><BR/>I had to replace the calendar. Honestly, I just can't live without one. And, I've updated my database. Things are improving. I'd still prefer to find the calendar for the sake of accuracy, but I'll live. :)<BR/><BR/>Strong scents can be migraine triggers for me, but I can get away with lotions, candles and bath salts -- just not heavier scents like cologne.

I would think that kind of fear could be problematic anywhere, but particularly where one is so near to the ocean. <BR/><BR/>I think I will paint Choxie, but I'll have to consider what exactly I want to do -- try to match her coloring, add a larger pink space (as Nat suggested), or just give her a completely new color. <BR/><BR/>Stalk? Me? Well, maybe with my lens, but only the guys with the cutest buns need fear.<BR/><BR/>Thank you. The smell is not humorous. And, the fact that we have *half* the flooring put down right where the fabric softener fell is a big problem. It rolled under tiles and over and under the plastic liner. Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh. It's going to take some time to fully clean up.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-75410216343631678362008-02-27T08:13:00.000-06:002008-02-27T08:13:00.000-06:00Nat,Choxie doesn't like the idea of having ants (o...Nat,<BR/><BR/>Choxie doesn't like the idea of having ants (or worse bugs) nibbling at her skirts, anyway. :) <BR/><BR/>I'm considering silver airplane paint and stars for an entirely different look. Her name will have to change, of course. <BR/><BR/>Hmm, I thought of a great chocolate poppet name *after* I named Choxie and now I don't remember it. Godiva sounds good, but that wasn't the name I'm referring to. <BR/><BR/>The shoes may need a bath. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-69395571705044485342008-02-27T06:58:00.000-06:002008-02-27T06:58:00.000-06:00I can relate to Molly.

Or you could go with pink to match the spots and make a half circle at the bottom where the chip is? Hmm... tough one. I still haven't figured out what to call my choco poppet. Any creative suggestions? Oh and since receiving Little Pink a few days ago, I've become quite attached to her. Creepy yes, but very cool too. <BR/><BR/>I love cinnamon too, and rosemary, mint, lemon, etc. Too bad about the fabric softener in the shoes though.

It's so big and heavy that the word "list" just sounds too innocuous. Sorry, yeah, this does sound like it's right up your alley. <BR/><BR/>It's a BIG calendar! You know what I think happened? I think my husband threw it away or <I>moved</I> it (almost as big a disaster -- I'm pretty sure he was responsible for my missing Nabokov, last year). He has this habit of grabbing piles and indiscriminately tossing them into a trash can or just moving things aside. When we returned from Laurel, I noticed my favorite conditioner was missing and he had to go scrounge in the trash can. Har. <BR/><BR/>I won't tell Lisa. But, I think that chocolate color would be really, really hard to match. I mixed a similar color for one of kiddo's projects, last year, and it takes a little bit of everything to make brown. I'll have to give it some thought. I do have paint. No, no, don't tell Lisa that, either.<BR/><BR/>Yep, I love, love, love sandlewood and Mountain Fresh is particularly distressing in quantity.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-59707200715817813572008-02-26T23:01:00.000-06:002008-02-26T23:01:00.000-06:00Eva,I don't know what to say.

Sheesh!<BR/><BR/>The mystery of the lost calendar continues, eh? Strange indeed...is it a small calendar? Best of luck on getting everything back together.<BR/><BR/>On painting poppets..I've always wondered the same thing. Luckily, it's not happened to any of mine, but what does one do if a poppet chips? I'd say a little touch up is ok....but don't tell Lisa ;)<BR/><BR/>And sandalwood is one of my favorite scents too!
