Autumn 2012

 This autumn been a bit rough, but it’s starting to really look up.

God was kind to us concerning Hurricane Sandy. We’d prepared for a days-long power outage but we only had two comparatively small ones, each lasting only a few hours. We spent the storm praying, recovering, and working on things when we could. None of us can remember ever getting a hurricane this late in the season.

The damage photos and videos on the news are memorable. Please keep the people who lost their homes in prayer, especially the poor! They are not out of the woods yet. (courtesy of a snowstorm and several major fires)

Recently we had bad movie night and that was fun. :) Mom, my brother, and I watched random movies on cable. We found Hocus Pocus, both Scooby Doo movies, and… Twilight. There was a Twilight marathon, apparently meant to drum up interest in the new movie. (you won’t catch me waiting in line for it) We set a new record for how long we could stand Twilight, which turned out to be roughly three-to four minute chunks, and those were broken up with Scooby Doo. We caught the infamous “sparkle” scene.  Mom and I were disappointed; Edward should have been sweating rainbows. Instead, it looked like they’d merely overlaid a very washed-out movie of a rotating crystal-covered object on the actor.

Anyway, this month I uploaded a few new freebies.  The Dark Gem dress and AiharaYukii’s plushy are at my DeviantArt account at the moment. That dress was difficult to build but it taught me a lot and is a small triumph. I’d wanted to build something like it from the time I began to use Poser. It does a few tricks. It’s got morphs and body handles all through the skirt. This was tough, but so worth the trouble!

I don’t know how many more freebies I’m going to be building. I built this stuff to warm up for projects Mom and I are working on. Since I needed the practice, doing stuff other people can enjoy made sense. I’m not saying that I’ll never make another gift for you guys, but I need to shift my focus at some point and that appointed time comes swiftly. 

Christmas has begun a bit early this year; we’re building decorations and other things for it. One project is detailed enough to require an earlier starting date. No, you’re not going to find anything online yet. When there’s new content to enjoy, it will be announced. There’s no point in combing through the site’s files the way some of you have been.  I do not store project files online until they’re ready to enjoy.

Anyway, I’ve got a Twitter account where I talk about stuff I’m building while building. Take a look if you’re curious. https://twitter.com/Rebehm1

However, I will announce on SantaPenguin,com and this blog when the goodies are ready.

I hope your autumn went okay and that you’re looking forward to then new season.
