The characters look very cute! The eyes kinda take me back to the Powerpuff Girls.

A few updates! :lauren:

Lauren's most recent project are adorible tiny felt chibis, which she suggested could hang from review mirrors, or Christmas ornaments. She warned they're probably not sturdy enough to be keychains, though. They will be for sale soon, although they are all hand made and autographed by her so they won't make it into the store. They'd be availible on special order only. But they're so cute! Here's one of the pictures she posted of chibi Milky Way

Another update is she's leaning more toward the blog on the Milky Way sight rather than her former Google Blogspot. And she's directing all blog comments to the new blog, so we might want to start going there for updates now rather than Blogspot. So here's her new blog, at her wonderfully redesigned MW&tGG websight-

There's just been an "unofficial" "What planet are you from?" quiz, set up by a fan, although Lauren's working on an official one of her own. The fan made one is up now though, so I thought I'd share. :lauren:

I took it, and was kind of surprised to find out I'm Mercury- the competitive jock. I guess our personalities are similar, but I have more in common with Venus or Moon for sure. Ah well, I'll take Lauren's when she posts her own, maybe I'll be something totally different.

Heh I got Pluto! I have a feeling I got Mars as a #2. Although I don't see a way to see other close matches on this site to check for sure. Rock on dudes! *headbang!*

I just found out that Lauren and the Galaxy Girls will be at Wondercon in San Francisco this weekend. I had no idea! So I will get to see Lauren on Saturday. That's a nice surprise. :terrsmile:

That's awesome! :bloosmirk: Send her our greetings.

I got a little felt chibi Venus from her this weekend, complete with a button, sticker, and a written and signed postcard from her, which were surprises, and tickled me quite pink. Just like Venus! :lauren: I was ecstatic about that! :D I'll try to post pictures when I have more time (and energy).

Ok, while taking pics of my new magnets, I took pics of my little chibi Venus while I was at it.

She's about 3 inches tall, made entirely of wool felt, and so tiny, only hand stitching worked. So Lauren hand sewed this little darling herself. :lauren: Included was a sticker, a pin (identical to the sticker, I have it pinned to my purse), and the post card, which really made my day because all that was totally unexpected. Little Venus came in a tiny mesh bag with a satin ribbon, and a tiny card of authenticity (a customized business card). I love them all!

Lauren also hand stitched her initials and the year on the back of Venus' head, along with the "invisible loop" so she can hang somewhere without exposing how she's hanging there. She will be proudly displayed somewhere, as soon as I can make my mind up how to do so. I don't want her ruined.

Aww, that's adorable. :frankiesmile:

That's wonderful, Lynnie. It was really great of Lauren to have writen you that personal message too. :lauren:

Yes, that made my day! :smed: I've left comments on her blog for about a year now, and recently was flattered to have her add me as a friend on Facebook. But the post card was even more personal than those are. I now have it stuck into the frame of my bedroom mirror, so I see it every morning when I'm getting ready for the day. :)
