Dorrie's Doll Diaries
Wednesday, 21 June 2006
And the bombs just keep on comin'...
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: XM 71 - Watercolors (light jazz)

Not much time to do doll stuff today. It's Wednesday, so after summer school, Dearest Son got to go to the SplashPad again. He met up with a school friend, and they played and had a great time. When friend went to the playground, we went after changing clothes. Even got to talk to a few other mothers. So it was a nice midmorning.

While he was in school, I tackled the backyard. While I was cleaning out the 'L & L' mess, Son would occasionally snag a toy or item to play with. Some I didn't mind, others were too nasty to keep. It's been too hot for him to be outside much, but I noticed how bad the backyard looked a couple weeks ago. So I took out a roll of trash bags and cleaned up. Five bags later, the yard was still a mess, but it wasn't broken toys and unidentifiable crap. It was intact toys and other junk. I guess today, then, was the real end of the 'L & L' odyssey.

At least I got my workout. After playing all day, we came home and I took a short nap. Then the messy bathroom got too loud to ignore anymore, so I got 3/4ths of it done before Beloved Hubby came home.

So, not much doll stuff today. I snagged a Hancock Fabrics grab bag Tuesday, and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with a half-yard of thick black felt. I thought it was something else - darn their opaque bags ! I got three other pieces, two of which I can use. At least it was cheap. And I doubt I'll do that again.

I may go back tomorrow for a lovely jacquard fabric I saw. Dark blue (but not navy) with a leaf/fan-like weave in it, bordered by black stripes. I think it'd make some excellent Asian wear. Maybe that'll get me off my butt and back on board with the geta sandals, too.

Found an old Barbie hair refil, from the Cut and Style series. Pinned it to the bald Leia, so she at least has some hair until I can find something. I still feel bad about that human hair waste. (sigh)

Not much else going on. I'm tired, but Son is rockin'. Little chance of craft. So I think I'll just hang out for a bit. At least I got the yard and bathroom done for the day !
