Sugar Mama at work

Bridget and Sugar Mama

Bridget Butch of the ever-popular BB-Blog spends time with Sugar Mama at her office. They also both made an appearance on Design Milk’s Friday Five last July.

RCA on Cory's desk

RCA joined Lewyt on author Cory Doctorow’s desk in London. Not only does he keep Cory company, he also keeps his pencils nice and sharp. Check out Cory’s work on his website, Craphound, or on Boing Boing where he’s an editor.

Mirro was recently adopted by Pamela and Mike from Kansas City and is already settling into his new home. Check out Pamela’s update:

“Well, it was a tough choice, but Mirro has a home North of the River!  He was a little nervous at first – I could hear him doing quadratic equations as we crossed the bridge. However, once I told him his mother was a coin collector in her youth and had had a state quarter map herself, Mirro relaxed and has settled in quite nicely.  He’s currently working his powers of telekinesis on the Hawaii Ice crusher.  (The Eico t-shirt I’m wearing helps, too.)”

We recently completed Dale as a commissioned project for Tim and Rachel. Rachel’s grandfather invented the TV tube tester, and one of his actual creations makes up Dale’s body. Tim and Rachel had the piece made for Rachel’s mother as a way to display the prized family heirloom and to get it out of the deep, dark recesses of the storage closet.

It seems that Dale has now taken to a few of Rachel’s grandfather’s hobbies, including smoking a pipe and wearing his old tie and monocle. 

After Perfection was given to John and Meridith as a wedding gift, they left on their amazing honeymoon vacation. Upon their return home to California, they say they were quite impressed with Perfection’s behavior. ”She had put up ‘welcome home’ and ‘congratulations’ signs and balloons everywhere around our house. She cleaned, fed our bird and even began sorting our taxes,” say her new adoptive parents.

Special thanks to John and Meridith Sprengelmeyer for the update.

Dorchester recently got a new brother, Vita-Mix. They seem to be getting along well together.

Vita-Mix was commissioned out of an old Mac and MINI car parts. Here he is standing proudly in front of one his family’s MINIs.
