I wimped out and decided not to take a class this semester. I’m just beat lately. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I used to work full-time, manage three kids and a household, take three classes a semester and keep up with the dolls on top of all that. But the past couple of […]
My office was freezing this morning so I finished painting a doll’s body on the kitchen table. This turned out to be a very bad idea. I have great lighting in my workroom, not so great in the kitchen. So while I was much warmer, I now have a dolly with a two-toned face, which […]
I am running out of clothes to wear to the job, every day it’s an ordeal finding something appropriate. I’ve never been much of a clothes horse; most of my clothes are from the blue jeans and funny t-shirts category. I have maybe two or three nice outfits that I wear to weddings […]
I am so tired today. I was practically a zombie at work. I fell into bed about ten last night and was out like a light. Then about one o’clock some kids started doing donuts in the church parking lot next door, revving their engines and peeling out, until one of my more impatient neighbors […]
This little doll has a problem with flaking, and no, Head & Shoulders won’t help. This was a cheaply made dolly and her original paint was applied very thinly, so now patches are flaking away.
Since much of the paint is still firmly attached, and I am from the “Less is more” school, I will […]
I had the day off today, but I have to go in tomorrow. I HATE working weekends. HATE it. It’s an abomination.
Today I’d planned to clean my house, work on some dolls, write a few posts, bathe miss Ginger, our poodle cocker mix, who is starting to look like a shag rug that’s been dragged […]
Got through another week at the Alzheimer’s unit! I think I’m getting accustomed to the job, the routine, the people. I don’t feel as out of sorts and lost anyway. Still, I’m not finishing as much work at home as I usually do, maybe I’m getting lazy. I need to get some posts written, […]
My daughter is engaged, so reception halls, wedding gowns, wedding cakes, bride’s maid dresses, wedding photographers and the like have all been popular topics of late. One of the hottest (no pun intended) spots in town for wedding receptions burned down last fall, so finding a reception hall will be a challenge. And money will […]
Got a backache tonight and I’m beat. I think I slept on my body wrong last night and then today I took Weenie dog around to all the residents and I think I must have been holding her in awkward positions all day because my mid-back region is on fire. Waaa!!! I am having […]
Do you remember these? When I was a kid a lot of my parent’s friends–mostly soldiers, had these cute little Hula girls stuck to their dashboards. The dolls jiggled back in forth most with any movement of the vehicle.
When we went shopping Saturday I noticed three different vehicles with these cute little car or […]
