Dorrie's Doll Diaries

Whimsical Friday

 

Current Mood : Still lazy

Current Image Notes : I just thought this was pretty. She looks so much like my friend Greta, from high school.

 

I guess being petty pays off your karma - the few pieces I wanted the last two SiCK embroidery sets for came up, as either freebies or hunt rewards, so quite literally, there's nothing I want there. But I do like the forums. Nice folks, very patient.

 

Was reading one thread, and one writer mentioned that her machine embroidery designs file said she had over 75,000 files ! Wow. Well, mine says I have 3,930 files, so I counted and I have 1,369 actual designs. The rest of the files are .jpgs, stitch guides, directions, and such. This is considered an extremely small collection, and to the group shows nearly unbelievable restraint, but to me, it's huge, and I'll probably never use it all, even if I never download another design.

 

Luckily, though, I'm always looking. I found out that Ambassador, a design viewer freebie program, also creates and prints out a stitch guide. Wow. It shows what colors you need for which parts, and what order the design will ask for them in. I'm hoping to do a stitch out (a trial run) of the Wall-E I snagged last week while Dearest Son is at his grandparents', and add it to his favorite hoodie jacket when he comes home.

 

Stayed home today with Beloved Hubby - we're expecting snow tomorrow, but it's raining right now. Ugh. Good thing I have a new obsession. It's a Korean soap opera called The Last Scandal or My Life's Last Scandal, or some permutation of those two. I'm watching it on Crunchyroll.com, and I can't stop thinking about Sunny, and Jaedin, and her husband, who needs a clue by four delivered via freight train, but it won't knock the jerk outta him anytime soon. I thought I'd watch an episode or two, and it just wouldn't engage me, but I've watched eight hours of it ! I should be grateful there's only sixteen hour-or-so long episodes, or I wouldn't be getting any sleep.

 

Next male doll that crosses my path is gonna be named Jaedin !

I like your image too, but I just giggle at the three men in the picture looking her up and down.  LOL!  But I'd love to feel as carefree as she looks right now.  :-)  And congrats on getting the last patterns you wanted.  Smile
