Well with con season being over and my budget getting tighter, I haven't really been in much of a position to get any new toys. That's why I'm glad for Christmas! I got several new ponies, thanks to my wonderful friends and family. I even got a new styling pony (which I'll have to put pics of her up later because she is being styled right now). The new ponies are pretty cute, despite their downfalls.
I got Scootaloo who comes with a logic defying tricycle. How can she pedal and hold the handlebars at the same time? It's a mystery! She has those disgusting worthless rubber clothes, too. The hats are cute, though. She had a little bike helmet. Speaking of hats, new Cheerilee has a little cowgirl hat that really looks better on Scootaloo. My good friend gave her to me at the Texas Roadhouse, so we felt it appropriate to leave her out on the table the entire dinner for "atmosphere."
I actually ended up with two Cheerilees, and I actually like the tats new Cheerilee is sporting. What I don't like is the "name on the leg" tat that Hasbro came out with and my new Starsong is sporting. Who gets their own name tatooed down their leg? But it's ok, because I didn't have a Starsong before. Of course, I'm still upset that they all have the same pose, makes photo ops boring.
Anyways, I've got a few customs in the works that I'll hopefully be able to show off somewhat soon. My next convention isn't until May, though, so it'll be a long wait to find any other cool toys. Until then, look forward to me getting up some pictures of a decent Venom I found a while back.
Exciting news! I just got engaged to the most wonderful man ever. Other exciting news! We just started a business together. We've opened our Etsy store, jellykoe, recently. We're selling all sorts of fun plushies that we call WonkyDolls. We wanted to do some offbeat and different plushies without making them dark or ugly. Joe also creates dolls from wine corks called Wine-Os, and we're in the process of doing some art dolls as well. I'm very much excited about designing and making clothes for them, since I like to do costumes so much. 
Joe designs most of the dolls, I do most of the sewing, and we split the rest of the work. We have a lot of fun doing it, and while I still love my other crafts, I'm pretty much sticking this one out. I have such a bad habit of picking up and dropping hobbies. With the both of us working at it, we hope it will do well. 
No sales yet, but a lot of hearts and views, so we're being optimistic. Next week we have our first craft show in Myrtle Beach, and we're very excited about that.
