Something's moved in!!! Also: 50th Post!

Well, the other day while I was busy with real-life chores and everything that has been keeping me from my minis and beloved blogland, Murph caught my attention and called me over....

Remember that hole in the back of the organ and we were all wondering what made it? Well I don't know what made it but something has certaintly made itself at home there.... just look:

Do you see him? Look closer:

Do you know who that is??? Its Aristotle!!! Pugsleys Octopus!!! I didn't realize how impatient these Octopus fellows can be and he just moved himself right in. I guess he doesn't care that I haven't had time to build the house or even a nice aquarium for him. He's just gonna live in the organ until I get the house done I suppose.
If you haven't heard of Aristotle its because he is rarely seen (but he is mentioned a few times). But here you can see him in a Charles Addams drawing with the Family at the beach (he does look pretty impatient there too - I should've known).

Also, as you can see from the title - this is my 50th post!! Yay! Thank you all for following along all this time!!
Also, also, remember about the Circle Swap I am hosting on my Clue blog if you are still interested. We are now up to 4 people, so its on for sure! It'll be a blast and you'll get a fun mini in the mail right before Halloween!

  1. Ara, Aristotle is Adorable! Very very nice work! I am so impressed. The organ looks fantastic. Did you re-touch it? Now, how in the world are you going to place the organ against a wall??

  2. Haha- Sans, my husband said the same thing!! I'll figure something out... or make a new hole for Aristotle somewhere else!! :) Nope - didn't retouch it ... just keep it in a drawer mostly to keep from accidently smashing it while working on the mansion! -ara

  9. That is so cute! Did you make it/him? He looks great - so realistic and perfect for that hole. What a great way to incorporate him into the scene without taking up a lot of space!
