Had some nice treats today from husband. He got me copies of Ninetendogs + Cats and Kid Icarus: Uprising. Yay :) So they’ll keep me busy for a while :D

I’ve been busy making stuff. Pictured are some cake rings and a waffle ring (with butter and syrup), that I made a couple of mornings ago when I couldn’t sleep.

You can buy them here.

It’s nearly Christmas, and in my household that means early mornings. When I say early I mean getting up a 2.30am. It’s the same every year. With the run up to Christmas my husband has to start work before sunrise and before anyone in their right mind is out of bed. This means I get up too, because I like to make sure he has a nice breakfast and a cup of coffee before he leaves. Plus I do him food for break time.

All the years before it’s never effected me. Yet for some reason, this year, it’s really thrown me through a loop. I mean, my sleep time at the moment is terrible. He goes to work and I am still wide away. I remain this way until the sun rises, which then sets me up for a slow and groggy day.

It’s not his fault, bless him. But I will be glad when Monday comes and he breaks up for Christmas. Not just because then I get to spend all my time with him, but because then we can say goodbye to 2.30 rising. Until next year.

The Littlest Plague Doctor is now available on a variety of things including mugs, tee shirts, keyrings, buttons, notebooks etc. I want a pillow. I mean, who doesn’t want to snuggle with the worlds cutest Plague Doctor?

I still have to finish the picture his in with the balloons. It’ll probably have to wait for another day, however, because oww, my head. Major headache brewing.
 
Yay! For you. Some cute Christmas labels/tags Download the file, print them out and whack them on your presents to make them look extra nice. Note: you might have to scale them a little bit to the size you want ;D

The weather outside is bloody awful. I am sat right by the window and there’s gusts of wind and rain pelting against it. I am glad I am indoors and snugly warm. Currently have a blanket wrapped around me.

Here’s some work in progress. The Littlest Plague Doctor. Aww. I usually do a sketch in Photoshop, drag it into Illustrator to do the main elements there, then drag it back into Photoshop to scribble out some ideas like a background - or in this case, a background and some balloons. Then it’ll be back over into Illustrator to add those ideas to the overall picture.

I would have bet my stash of Christmas treats that it was The Sarcastic Ones birthday today. In all the time I’ve known The One of Sarcasm (twelve years you know), I could have sworn her birthday was on the 18th December. And I was wrong. It’s tomorrow.

Look! I made stuff. Using yesterday’s doodle. Go lookie :D
