Again, not much going on. Roads are driveable, even by a scaredy-cat like me. Got out for a few groceries, got back safely. Man, you'd think places like groceries would scrape their parking lots, since that seems to be the worst for remaining ice. You'd think they'd do that to encourage business, but maybe not.
I'm in a 'blah' place, not really interested in much. About the only excitement for the day was an envelope from Bella! Productions. Yeah, I finally got to the mailbox today ! Anyway, I was nervous for a second - I'd said some not-too-kind but very true things about their Room With A View here. Had they found my words and wished to take issue with them ?
Nope. I keep overestimating my importance, don't I ? No, they just wanted to sell me more stuff to go with RWaV, or the 'new improved' version. They also sent me two doll trading cards I have no idea what to do with. They're nice, but not exactly something Elphie would have hanging up in her bedroom.
Speaking of bedroom, I read a review for Butterick 4538 on http://sewing.patternreview.com/ today. This is an American Girl clone pattern set for bedding. Since the AGs are 18" tall, and Elphie's 16", sometimes the furniture patterns interest me. A reader to the pattern review site made it, and it looked quite nice. I was thinking of waiting for Hancock Fabrics to put it on sale, but then I looked at it again. I don't really need the pattern. The bed is a foamcore box with a head and footboard. Not that difficult. So I may take some time this weekend to experiment with the foamcore I bought last Halloween.
I made Elphie a bed last year, but never really liked it. So I may just re-make it for fun. Heck, it's not like it'll be that difficult ! And it'd be nice to have something I like, not something I got tired of futzing with.
