Now Playing: "Comic Party" - old anime series, for fun
Current Mood : Relaxed
Current Image Notes : Hard to believe, but these are the 50c sweeties I bought yesterday !
Not much going on today - I'm still wheezing, and with yesterday's doll score, I just wasn't much in a mood to prowl. Beloved Hubby likened my reluctance to that of a fed tigress. If a tigress' tummy's full, an antelope can pass within inches safely. One thing's for sure, my ‘hunt' instinct was sated today !
Oddly, though, I didn't do much of anything else, either. There's still piles of fabric needing a cheap-serge before washing, dolls who need hair help, and I have my BIL's robe to work on, now that we've picked out the pattern and fabric. There's plenty for me to do, I just haven't gotten off my butt to do any of it !
I was thinking - oh, no, the universe is now in peril ! - that, before I start the next Barbie catalog, I'd break things up a bit with scans of those Disney Princess paper dolls I got at a flea market a couple months back. I mentioned showing ya'll what a former Mermaid chooses for underwear as a joke, but why not ? There's five dolls - Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, and Belle - and you could even print ‘em and cut ‘em out, design your own clothes for fun. So I'll start with Ariel tomorrow. Sound good ?
Oh, and I got an unexpected benefit from that paper doll set and similar ones from American Girls and a non-branded one. When I was a kid, paper doll clothes either stayed on via tabs or static cling. Neither was very reliable. Today, all the used sets I've bought have come with ‘glue dots' instead. These are little circles of squishy, tacky, removeable goo that work surprisingly well with paper doll clothes. They also work great to anchor tiny sewing machines and dress forms to the windowsill ! To think, I buy these things ‘cause they're cheap and have nice backdrops - but I end up with fun graphics for the site and a good substitute for museum putty !
