Purple Peep Eater.

So horribly busy right now, making things.  I've discovered something about myself...I have a hard time feeling motivated to work unless I have a mission.  I need deadlines and projects and a good poke, or else I stagnate.  How immature of me!

rumdiculous, by the way, is a total sweetheart who sent me a serendipitous impromptu package which I received just in the nick of time (I was about to descend into a session of self-pity...I'm feelin' weak today).    I opened it up and was rewarded with a purple plush bunny shaped like a Peep, and I love Peeps.  Among iconic sugar treats there's nothing cuter...though I admit I like them best when they're just a bit stale.

Thanks, kiddo.  :-)  You make me smile.

Back to work.  A whole flock of masks are cut out on my living room floor and just lay there like flattened roadkill from a bizarre steamroller/Mardi Gras mishap.  The pantheon of Egyptian god masks mocks me with its half-finished state.  I can't rest until everyone is properly gilded for a trip to the afterlife (or perhaps just some masked ball).

Aw, Rumi is sweet. Though I don't know what a peep is. I can't shake the image of ypu eating a plushy, now.

Never had a peep?

Nothing but pure sugary goodness. Peepage

My limit is four at a time, more than that and I go into a sugar induced coma.

Peeps used to be these funny chick-shaped marshmallows covered with crunchy good yellow sugar. Sort of an Easter candy staple item. They were always the most sought after Easter treats in the basket next to the actual central chocolate bunny. Now they make them in all different shapes including bunnies, and for Halloween they make ghosts and pumpkins. It's a candy dynasty based on the premise that marshmallows are the perfect sugar delivery vehicle if they're shaped like cute stuff. Yumm!
