(sigh) Started work on
cleaning up the Tolly Tots Aurora I snagged from the thrift yesterday, and
wouldn’t you know it, I started to love this doll, too. Most of the blue was
evidently chalk, it came off with a wet cloth. Unfortunately the little ink
marks on her face didn’t come off so easily, but I sort of like them as beauty
marks. But that one at the tip of her nose has got to go. Her hair is just a
gorgeous spill of sunshine – wish the Animator’s
doll had hair this nice. So I don’t think she’s leaving any time soon, which is
good, as she’s already made friends with Snow White and Cinderelsa. Wonder if
she’ll mind if I just call her ‘Rose’ ?
The designer behind the
Fable-ous Finds pattern I stitched up yesterday loved my review and asked to
re-post my photo of Galactic Empress Frankie on her page. And Pixie Fair gave
my photo a thumbs-up. So I’m getting a little self-esteem boost, and am
enjoying every second of it !
That said, I’d intended to
sew this afternoon, but Beloved Hubby was home early, still ill. I sat with
him, chatting, until the DTree faux-Benadryl did its job as The Zombie Maker,
and by then, I had to make something for Dearest Son and I to eat. Beloved’s
still asleep, I’m glad the ILs gave us eight packages of hot dogs at the start
of Summer. We still have five, but it’s hard to beat hot dogs for fast eats
when your kid isn’t much into any soup but Ramen.
And now I’m well on my way
to zombification, and I haven’t gone near the OTC remedies. Hope I can sew
soon. . .
