So here are a few things I've dug up for Liv's Coraline costume:
Hair:
So far the best hair I've found is an adult's wig at Gerbes. Here's hoping it will fit Liv.
Shirt:
Not orange and pink, but a good substitute.
Also possible, and better for anyone with older girl.
I feel like I already have a suitable shirt, but it may have been an old shirt that she no longer wears.
Boots:
Perfect boots!
I may skip hair altogeher if I get her a hat. Mebbe put some blue temp color on the ends. I dunno. If I went with the hair and clip combo, I could make my own dragonfly clips.

Projects of the Comic Kind
Been planning a few webcomic strips. Not sure if I want to go strip style or page format. Thinking of very, very, very loosely basing some of the characters off of real life peeps. You know, taking a bit of this guy and melding him with a smidge of that dude, etc? Except for the main character, who mostly just be me, only hotter.
I like me. ^.^
Also considering including a Liv. Nerdy kids are hilarious. In fact, two of my strips involve her already.

Coraline Cakes Update
Here are a couple of pics of the Coraline Cake I made for Kirstin's birthday. I couldn't find exactly the right candles, and the cake came out a little wobbly, but for the most I think it came out okay.
These don't provide the best angles, but there you are. The other side of the cake looks better. The dribbling was pretty effing hard and I seriously spent three fucking hours on this cake. Making frosting from scratch is harder than I thought. It tasted pretty damn good, though. I was going to write on the top, but by the time I got finished, I was too tired. It was red velvet, by the way.
If any of Kirstin's friends post more pics, I'll steal them and put them here.
