Still pretty much out of commission from the combination of lack of sleep and side effects from the new medication I'm trying, but here's what I spent the last few months making. I'm not happy with all of it, but I'm proud of how much of it came out. It was a fun project and a great way to keep myself busy without overtaxing my sleep deprived brain.

OMG, Gorgeous! You've got mad sewing skills. :) (Can you make anything from Order of the Stick?) :D

Thanks! :D

OOTS? Should be simple, in theory. What did you have in mind?

[batgirl1.livejournal.com]

Oh, I honestly have NO idea. (Nothing with Miko, though. She sucks. =p). I guess Elan and Haley are my favorites. :) (I forget, do you read OOTS? I know you don't care for XKCD...)

[pgwfolc.livejournal.com]

Yes, I read OOTS. :)

Want to pick a panel? Or a couple of panels I can use for reference? (Of course, I'm not sure I have the right materials on hand. I buy fabric by the yard, as needed. And the stores that sell it are half an hour from here.)

Well, I love Haley's look in the current arc (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0765.html). Or, if you want to go for something different from my favorite panel in the entire comic, I've got two words for you: Dancing Knights (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0706.html). :D

Say, anything you'd like me to try sewing for you? I may not be the fastest needle in the west (or east, for that matter), but I can give it a shot. :)

Dancing knights would be hard to bring to life in plushie format, methinks. No floating musical notes, for one thing. OTOH, I do have some grey and pink fabric on hand, left over from the projects in this video. Not sure how I'd do the visors, though.

Come to that, I'm not sure how I'd do their stick figure limbs. Hrm. Running short on memory thread, for one thing.

And how would I do Haley's hair? Yarn, I guess? Hmm.

Also, I'm really having trouble getting the mental gears to mesh right now. It's been a long week. Can you tell?

So, uh... any thoughts/preferences?

Hm, would pipe-cleaners make good arms? o_O My only real preference is that it's not too ridiculously taxing on you. A life-sized replica of Azure City including Battle Armor Shojo(tm) with karate-chop action is probably off the table. ;)

I'd be happy with a plushie of the Empress of Blood or Banjo the Clown if it's easier to work out. :) There's also Blackwing, but then we're back to the issue of stick-legs. <_< Or you can cheat a little and give Haley regular arms. (I do recommend yarn for hair if you do Haley, as yarn-hair on a doll is traditional). ^_^ (You have been sleeping better, right? How's the new doc working out for you?)

[pgwfolc.livejournal.com]

I do have black pipe cleaners on hand. They could work well.

You think amusingly large. But yes, that would be a bit much.

Anyway, I still have to finish the last pair of slippers for this project. And it's going to be a busy summer. It'll probably be a while. Just so you know.

New doc put me on a new med. It did not go well. I'm off it now, but still recovering. He has another med he wants to try, but needs to run it by my sleep doctor. Unfortunately, I'm not happy with my current sleep doctor, and it'll be a while before I can get an appointment with another one.

New doc does seem nice. Caring, understanding, and responsive. But there have been a couple of things that have made me hesitant about him. Things I expected him to know or remember or handle differently. But I'll give him a shot. We'll see how it goes.
