Do you sell at a lot of conventions? :U And if you do how in the world do you know how much stock to bring I never have enough I always sell out within the first two days

I’ve sold at Anime Central (artist alley), C2E2, NYCC, and Megacon (exhibitor) and the art show at SDCC. I fret endlessly not just about how much stock to bring, but of what. It’s totally unpredictable. At some cons I’ll sell out completely of say fortune cookie plush the first day; so the next one I bring 30 and only sell two. It’s muy mysterioso.

I think with handmade stuff you have to assume selling out is your GOAL. Since handmade stuff is limited by necessity, that has to be your advantage over mass-production. Other than that be prepared for continued headdeskery over whether you made the right amount of the right thing X_X; Or whether someone will ask why you haven’t got any tacos.

I fought the germs, and the germs won

Yeah, I got sick. Either that or I’ve just been drinking too much battery acid. And then my Netflix choice was about a guy with a terrible disease slowly going insane in his hospital bed. Not ideal comfort whilst lying around ill.

SO I don’t really know how it’s supposed to work, but if you ever wanted to ask me anything, anon or otherwise, knock yourselves out; cause I got nothing better I can actually do.

Lucy Liu To Play Watson In CBS’ Modern Sherlock Holmes Pilot ‘Elementary’ → deadline.com

bakerstreetbabes:

The name is Watson, Joan Watson. Lucy Liu is set to play Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick in CBS’ drama pilotElementary, whose tweaks to Arthur Connan Doyle’s classic include switching Watson’s gender to female. The project, written by Robert Doherty, is set in present day and stars Jonny Lee Miller as eccentric Brit Sherlock Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard whose addiction problems led him to a rehab center in New York City. Just out of rehab, Holmes now lives in Brooklyn with “sober companion” Joan Watson (Liu), a former surgeon who lost her license after a patient died, while consulting for the NYPD. Michael Cuesta is directing the pilot, produced by CBS TV Studios and Timberman/Beverly. Ally McBeal alumna Liu, who had 2 pilots vying for her, is recurring on the current season of the TNT cop drama Southland and will next be seen in the feature Man With The Iron Fists.

This is certainly an original idea.  

This is a BAD idea. You know they’re going to go all romantic tension on us, which simultaneously destroys the core of the story (John and Sherlock’s platonic* “romance”) and makes the concept too much like a ton of other TV shows (X-Files, Moonlighting, etc). This sounds like House x Castle x a lot of angst, and I think will miss the point of it being Sherlock Holmes at all. It’s too bad, since I quite like both actors, and I don’t enjoy seeing them reaching so far to find a “new” take.

*I understand why people want to ship Watson/Holmes, and I’m not saying they can’t. But there’s a profound beauty to depicting a different shade in the spectrum that is “love” - one that isn’t romantic.

Literally less than 24 hours after I was just discussing this with someone and considering trying to figure out how to do it myself (which I would’ve failed at).

I’ve never felt love for a fandom before.

Don’t get me wrong though… I never forgive myself for not doing everything all the way. Balls to the wall like a guy I used to know would say.

I’d rather wipe out on the black diamond than sail through the bunny slope.

That’s just how I roll. I mean ski. I mean sew. I’m changing my profile to “Jack of All Trades, Competent at Some”

While I hand sew I watch stuff on Netflix…been having a Poirot marathon because apparently I can’t get enough of men with accents solving crimes. :X So I started thinking… they’ve done Sherlock, they’re doing Marple, what about modern-day Poirot? OTZ

HERCULE: COMING THIS FALL ON FBS*
*Fantasy Broadcasting Network

Hercule “Herc” Poirot is a fashionably retro hipster from Montreal who turns heads with his staggering good looks and waxed mustache. He moves to New York City and becomes friends with equally dashing Hastings, an Iraq-war vet and trust fund baby who brings Herc into his classy world of high society. Struck by his friend’s talents of observation, Hastings persuades him to start his own private detective agency in the Hamptons, with the assistance of Miss Lemon, a former call girl turned secretary.

(David Suchet will hunt me down and have me beaten for this.)

Still all work and no play (or rest) in my house for another week so I’ll have enough plush stock for Megacon. I get to be on Tumblr for 5 minutes maximum as a reward for finishing things so I don’t go completely mad. 

That’s right. You heard me. I’m using Tumblr… to stay SANE.

I like the phrase “run off your feet” (instead of “busy” etc.) because it implies one of two scenarios must then occur:

1) you will collapse on the floor

2) you will learn to fly

I’m always hoping one day it’ll be #2
