Current Mood : Satisfied.
Now I know her name – it’s
Abigail ! Let’s see…it means (grin) ‘head of a monastery’ or ‘a father’s joy’. I
like both of those !
I kinda picture her wearing
this ‘I can be’ Barbie outfit on Saturday. After a run of errands, she’s home
long enough to change clothes and spend the sunny afternoon with Nightmare –
she’ll love those fresh carrots ! Now, I just have to make her a buncha clothes
that go with tall black boots, short foldover boots (Harumika set), and a pair
of brown loafers and white athletic shoes (Ken). It may be easier to finally
get off my rear and learn to make decent doll shoes…
Got to go to Mal-Wart
tonight, and it was a repeat of the Target/TRU show yesterday. Nothing new,
although they did have a Signature Operetta and Venus, dolls I haven’t seen in
a while. And they still have the Scaris
Café and car playsets. Nothing new, and no big flat of boxes to hope through.
Snagged a hot pink and black glittery cocktail dress from the Barbie budget
line (i.e., less than three bucks) for Abigail, but I already know it’ll need
some minor adjustments for a better fit. Hate to buy her so much pink, but that’ll
happen when you raid Barbie’s wardrobe !
And since I’m going to order
the three-level unfinished bleachers I’ve selected from that Etsy seller – it’s
my birthday present – to display my 46 current MH students and adults, I went ahead and bought the paint for them
that Beloved Hubby recommended. And the green Fusion for Abigail’s Coffin Bean chair. Can’t wait ‘til it’s
dry enough around here to use it ! With inches of rain every night this week,
the humidity is incredible. The bleachers will take a bit to arrive (seller has
to make them and ship ‘em first), but I can do the chair anytime. When it’s not
87% humidity, that is.
I also found something I’ve
been wanting for years – Dr. Scholl’s exercise sandals ! I loved those clunky
things growing up, and have worn whatever I could find since, knockoffs, junky
clones, semi-used thrift finds, and the real things when I could find ‘em.
Haven’t found any in years (save for $40. on eBay), but I found them at
Mal-Wart. On markdown even ! I got the ‘Chambray’ and ‘Stripe’ pairs in my size
for less than ten bucks each. Oh, they feel so good ! Darn Dollar Tree
flip-flops tore my feet up last year, but it’s like they’re being cradled and
cosseted now. Yaaay !
I’ve found that life goes
better when you’re feet don’t hurt and your toilet flushes…
