Blessed Solstice

I hope all of you had a wonderful time on this shortest day of the year.

I've had a lot of fun. Yesterday, I went to Harbin Hot Springs, which is about the hippiest-skippiest place on earth, but is amazingly wonderful nonetheless. How carbonated mineral water can feel that good to sit in I don't know, but oh man, does it ever.

Today, still happily blissed out, I rode a bike for 4 hours, walked in the rain and...um...decorated and made cookies. Which might lend good evidence to the theory that I should not be left alone on Solstice.



Here are some happy gingerbread zombies.

A gingerbread jackal and some shark friends have a wonderful holiday dinner. They are well fed; see all the gnawed bones?

Other cute holiday things include my new wall decor, made from found roadkill vulture wings and deer skull.

And Yule tree, guarded by fierce sheltie!

If you look closely, you can see special ornaments.

See the teeth? Werewolf.

Solstice blessings, all.

I love your house. And I'm betting those fluffy puppy ears will always be that fluffy.

Thanks! I should take more pics of the house, now that it's...sort of...cleaned up after my brother's recent move-in.

Coba's ears will be, if anything, much fluffier: he is from a line with a *lot* of coat. They will probably be slightly more in proportion with his head, though. ;)

Lady, you have a sick sense of humor, and I love you for it. <3

You also have an adorable menagerie. The more I see your house, the more I want to visit it -- and you.

Your gingerbread looks decidedly awesom-er than my gingerbread. :P

Your cookies are made of awesome.

Well, gingerbread. And awesome!

And I want to know how you taxidermi'ed those wings! I can never get mine to turn out right. :P

I'll get your feathers out to you as soon as I can find a mailing tube longer than 18".
