Friday

I need to get this written and get to the sewing machine. The baseball game starts at 11 am today. My plan is to sew a little, baseball and then sew some more. But, the plan is getting wasted as I sit here clicking on shit.

I did get my blow job this morning. About 4 or 5 times a year my tire light comes on. It means that the tire air is out of balance. It's never the same tire but always one of them low-ish. I pull into a place near my pool. This is a Goodyear tire shop and they are really amazing. They are always so kind and so willing. I have never yet bought a single thing from them. But, every single time I pull in and ask for an air check they act like I am their favorite best customer ever. You'd be right if you'd guess where I'll buy a tire if I ever need one. They can charge me whatever they want for it, too, and I'll be happy to pay.

When I ordered my last order of stuffing from Walmart, I ordered a couple of pairs of pants to get my order up to $50 for free shipping. The pants were $7 - knit, elastic waste pull ons. My expectations were low but the pants turned out to be pretty darned good. I washed them knowing they would shrink up and turn into peddle pushers. They did not. Hmmmmm. Maybe I should get some more. So yesterday I went to the Walmart site and the $7 pants were now $12. ?? Today I just looked and they are $10. This could be my new hobby, pants price checking on the Walmart website.

Ok. I'm off now to sew.

Crowd Sourced doll

So yesterday after my whining about my dolls lacking imagination these days, I got two comments that hit the mark.

venta suggested throwing boy dolls back in the mix and I poopood that saying I didn't like the way the boy dolls were turning out.

Then kinderheldin suggested eye glasses, which I had thought about before but never came up with a way to do them easily and in a manner that they would stay on.

This morning as I was swimming, I chewed on both of these ideas from a bunch of different angles and came up with some thoughts on how to move them from thumbs down to thumbs up. And I'm happy to report success on both fronts! So this is going to be boy* week. I'll be taking this month's dolls next Friday and until now there were no boy dolls. So there's room in the mix.

*I totally get that boys can wear dresses and pink and have braids but in the case of my dolls, boys are defined as dolls with pants and mostly less pink.

Exhibit A.



More after baseball.

The game stunk and then rain

So I went back to sew some more. I don't plan to add glasses to every doll from here on out but I wanted to see if I could get them a little less goggle-y. I think I'm making progress.



And here's a bear I finished last night.
