_{I only say slightly because for 3 long months I haven't even BEEN to DeviantArt. Also, I don't know if I am technically back or just popping in for a visit before flitting off again into the unknown!

The chibi maker popularity continues to astound me, I can't believe how many kind comments I've received from people and how much fun everyone is having. I can't go far on the internet without bumping into someone using it as an avatar, icon, or just posting up a gallery full of chibis made with it. It's exciting, humbling, and a bit scary! The poll has had a good response too, about whether or not to turn the chibi maker or perhaps even a future dress-up project into an app. I can't say anything has been done about that since, I'm lacking the knowledge but finally not the technology (now the proud owner of a Nexus 7 tablet, go android!).

Why I haven't been here in months is another story all-together. I wish I could tell you I've been locked in a basement making a new doll-maker, or working on TONS of awesome art, or... building a submarine. But while I haven't been on DA, I haven't even picked up a wacom stylus. Not a single scrap of art for 3 months (and normally this is a good thing, I find when I have a lonnngggg break my art gets better!). For once, life has gotten in the way.

*sits for about 5 minutes staring at the screen, wondering what best to say* I suppose here goes! Kritter and I are having a baby! YAY! I found out the day before my birthday, and it's due on Kritter's birthday on the 1st of October XD I don't know if it's a boy or girl yet, I'll be finding that out in 4 weeks but it's completely exciting. Unfortunately for the last 3 months I've had killer nausea 24/7, so I wake up sick and go to bed sick too. It's like having a flu and just about as fun

Oh and to top off the stress we have 2.5 months to plan a wedding in July...

I think on that note I'll leave it at that. Despite life happenings, I am sorry I haven't been here as always to read or respond to notes and comments. I'm sure you'll understand if I can't for a while yet. Hopefully I can come back soon with an update on SOMETHING!
