Studio Log: Starweek Ten

We've had a hard work week here at the studio. Punctuated by the usual nerdy outbursts and midnight movies. How are YOU?

  • Studio Projects of the Week:
1. Stump Pillows! Hand-drawn, hand-printed, hand-dyed and hand-sewn (BY HAND!), these pretty little pillows will be available to buy from Nora at the Lill Street Holiday party/art-sale (December 3rd, 6-10pm).
Stump Pillows


2. Marsupial Cloth Stickers and Applique Patches! Drawn by Lucy and printed/prepped by Nora! These will also be sold at the Lill Street Holiday party/art-sale.
After!
Nora will also have bags and other items for sale at Lill Street
(which is an awesome arts center in Chicago).

  • Studio Happening of the Week:
We hosted a little Pre-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1 screening get-together. We made tiny sexy pies, cockroach clusters, butterbeer and pumpkin juice!
Tiny Sexy Mince Pies for HP7 Party

Our Butterbeer Recipe:
Cream soda
A few drops of artificial butter flavoring (from the baking section)
Coconut rum
(Mixed to taste)

Our Pumpkin Juice Recipe:
Apple cider
Canned pumpkin
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
(Mixed WELL)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1 Party CAKE!
We hope you had a great HPWeekend, everybody!


  • Studio Jam of the Week: "Mean," by Taylor Swift

(Our apologies; there are NO better videos of this song...)


Eggs Benedict Cumberbatch!


  • Studio Obsession of the Week:
Because Lucy was too devoted to The X-Files as an adolescent to stray to other television, she sadly missed the Buffy Boat. So now Nora has been giving her a long-overdue education in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's coming along quite well. We're up to the third season, and should graduate to Angel by New Years.


(Sub-obsession: ALL OF WILLOW'S CLOTHES)


  • Kitty Photo of the Week:

Koala Face Cat
Have a smooshface week!

  2. Tiny Apple Pies! Yay!

    Also, are the stump pillows going to be available online? Because I want one enough to buy one, but not QUITE enough to drive 16 hours round trip to do so. Help?

  4. Hi - I'm a total stranger de-lurking to tell you that I think I have your cat's doppelganger here at my house. My blog has been DOA, but I posted some pics so you should be able to see him. That first one of yours freaked me out - if he wasn't in the kitchen trying to break into the food tub now, I'd swear that was him. Have a great week!

  5. @Tally We're hoping to put stump pillows online soon! And OMG BUFFY!

    @AmmoniteInk They're mince pies, actually! And we're hoping to put the stump pillows online for sale soon! They take a lotta work, so we're gonna try to shore up a good stock before offering them for sale. But soon!

    @say-it-with-pie IT'S LIKE PHOTO-REALISTIC, RIGHT?

    @Kathryn A Hahaha! Oh look at those orange beasts! They're a little bit skinnier than Linney, but you're right, totally dead-on. Cuties!

  10. Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dr. Horrible! I'll leave out Dollhouse. I'm still convinced it was a plot by Whedon to get revenge on Fox for cancelling Firefly.
