Amakai, don't be sad about that, times are what they are and not having a job is not a shameful thing but just part of what we have to get through now in these times. I am sure you are going to let your mom know how precious she is to you. Maybe get her dinner together for her or do some chore for her that she normally does for you or maybe make something from things around the house, a nice note telling her how much you appreciate her or if you have string and paper an origami hanging decoration or gosh I can think of more things too. But I am sure you you will do what you can, it's all you can do!

Woop sorry to hear about your other half's nan, but wow, 99 is an incredible age to achieve! I hope she gets to 100. I went to your blog btw and was very impressed with your felting work. I had never heard of that before, you really have talent and there is one little doggie there I have my eye on in your etsy shop. You may just hear from me on that! I keep picturing that little dog in my doll's arms...we'll see once I get home. So you live in Australia, wow, I adore your country though I have never been.

Kilala, thank you so much for the little dress! I am going to make my next avatar with it but I don't know when that will be since I really like my current one. Maybe in a week or less. I tend not to change everyday since it takes me a long time to make my avatars. Btw if you post photos on deviantart do link me. Lucid is right, I have 3 or 4 mouths equipped to get this look, lol. Let me look and see. Ok first layer is Full Lips in brown. Next is Smile lips in gold, then small lips in gold. Finally I layered Basic lips in the next to the last color. Basic lips have the little cut in them so you can see the gold beneath. The brown lips at the bottom act as an outline. You can do the same thing with reds/purples too. Or change the bottom to dark red or purple then layer the gold and top with Basic lips in red.

As for my mom, she is very old, she is 89 actually (she had me rather late in life). She had lymphoma a couple of years ago and went though chemo which really set her back. Then she got going again once that was in remission but something has happened lately, she got sick with a cold and just has not been herself for 2 months. It's sad for me, but I am glad to see her smile and hold my hand and have this time with her. Thank you for asking about her, it's on my mind.

Sorry to put all this in my avatar thread but hey, we are talking about avatars too so it's all good.

Back to avatars, I layer many things habitually. I like skunk eyes under stormy eyes. I like the Lunae's Companion eyes under pretty eyes. And I usually layer blushes and eyeshadows too.

What do you guys layer?
