The Pirates and I

Right here! Two new Piratepants for you to meet. First up is Nervy Bob, CP #102:

Nervy Bob the Piratepants got his name for taking up any dare that came his way. Jumping off the plank, pinching bar girls (oh, the slaps he received!), feeding the pet shark...

And CP #103- Jojo the Piratepants

Jojo might not be the most feared Piratepants of all the seas, but he is most certainly the funniest. The other Piratepants love to have him around for his joke telling ability. Makes those long voyages seem a little shorter.

They both had roles in the latest Chickenpants Adventure, but now they're both back in the boat, sailing the high seas of commerce...(sorry, adjustments are being made to my crazy pills, brb)

Actual conversation with my Wii Fit

Wii: Have you seen Alex lately? He hasn't logged on in awhile.
Me: Well, he's been busy.
Wii: Have you noticed any changes in Dan's posture?
Me: Um, no. Should I have?
Wii: Changes are so exciting, don't you think? Maybe you should pay closer attention to Dan.
Me: What exactly are you trying to say?
Wii: On a related note, eye-contact is very important in the human-dog relationship.
Me: Seriously, what?
Wii: Hold still, I'm going to scan you.

Two new Chickenpants and two new excuses

I have been the worst blogger ever! But I have an excuse. Actually, two.
Excuse #1.) I am moving house in oh, less than two weeks. And pretty much nothing is packed. Eep.
Excuse #2.) I have a whole bunch of really wonderful shows coming up in the next two months...and I need to be sewing my plush butt off! (Just added Craftland to that list. Eep!)
Anyway! Two new Chickenpants!
Introducing:
Mario Ninjapants

Mario may be tiny, but do not underestimate him! He has a reputation for shenanigans...and among Chickenpants, that is truly a feat.

and:
The Cap'm

Every boat needs a captain, and the Black Swan is no different. Enter The Cap'm. He runs a pretty tiny ship. Petite, if you will. ARRRGGGHH!

I'm back!

Super quick post as I should be working on elventy billion other things right now.
1. The Chickenpants were mentioned on Plastic and Plush recently. Huzzah!
2. Being forcibly dragged away from your computer for a few days really helps one relax and get some perspective. Ahhh. But now I'm home and that's sorta over. Back to work!
3. I am working on something a wee bit top secret-ish. Super exciting, and I can't wait to share it all with you soon! But now, I actually have to get in there and get it done!
Happy Thursday, everyone!

Whoops!

Well, there you go.
For anyone who read that last (deleted) post, whoops. Consider it proof that we all crack sometimes...and I crack a lot. This particular freakout just happened to leak onto the blog.
Sorry about that. I try to keep a pretty positive ship here...sometimes it gets away from me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Absolutely Small has been receiving some lovely press lately.

Handmade with Amour posted an interview with me a few days ago. She had some really fun questions!

Nonlinear Girl wrote a very sweet little post about the latest Chickenpants Adventure movie.

A blog called Wound Up Ladybug mentioned Chickenpants Adventure #4.

And, last but not least, CRAFT was kind enough to mention the new movie, too!

Thank you all!
Now, off to work on my next project...getting all those ninjas and pirates into the shop!
Have a great Monday, everyone!

Hope you enjoy it!

Barbie + Han Solo

This is really delightful.

Rabbit Bites!

In my ongoing weakness for all things cute and humorous, allow me to share with you the goodness that is: RABBIT BITES! (ok wait, that sentence may not have made any sense...going for another cup of tea. Watch this video, I'll be right back.)

The above chip of Rabbit Bites reviewing Rocketboom was the first one I ever saw, and it reamins my favorite. I hope you get a kick out it, too.
Here's their main site for more: http://www.rabbitbites.com/
and their YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/bunsandchouchou
