Poncho has left the building...

Originally her name was Poncho No-pants, because when I first crafted her, all she had to wear was a poncho, and no pants. The name just sort of stuck. She's been here before, but she was always intended to go to my neice and even though she's long since vacated my household (Easter weekend to be precise) I've just now gotten the film developed and I can share with you all. Here Poncho is all dressed and ready to go with all of her 'stuff'. I had close-ups on my digital camera, but I took video stills instead of regular stills and have no idea how to get them out/off/away from the camera? To be honest, I have no inclination to. I'm generally a techni-phobe. Anyhow, I'll likely post this photo and others on my blog at some point as well.
Until later...
PS: To Purl; I am still working on my challenge outfit...sorry it's taking so long. Go ahead and gloat about being finished.

Joey shows his colours...

It's that time of year again...playoff time. For all those hockey widows out there, you may be able to appreciate whenst the inspiration for this ensemble came. Joey is a die hard fan, even though his team isn't performing up to expectation (anyone care to guess who he's rooting for?!) For more lamenting on this subject, you can check out my blog. And coming soon to my blog, Babeisodes, an ongoing soap opera of inanimate objects (or just a grown woman playing dolls).
