This week has left me nearly empty handed as far as creative endeavours
go. I have been tinkering with code for
the website shopping cart, writing an article, and stocking shelves in the
studio after a rather large shipment of supplies arrived. Oh, and of course the most loathly task of
all, dusting shelves and cleaning.
As a reward for cleaning, I did finish making hair for my Annie style
doll.
This was fun. First I crocheted a skull cap, then I added
the individual strands of hair the way that one would make a knotted rug. Then came the trimming. This was scary. That’s my mother’s fault. I distinctly remember a good hiding I got
after trimming my own fringe when I was about three years old. I think I never held scissors for a long time
after that. Trimming Annie’s hair was
fraught with anxiety. I kept checking to
see if someone was going to catch me at it. But I was brave and I did it.
Tomorrow is my sister’s birthday. She has such a busy social life that I had to
phone her today already to wish her a blessed year. To celebrate she is going hot air ballooning
and dining with friends. I got her a
snazzy handbag in the shape of an owl, but don’t go blabbing, she hasn’t seen
it yet!
Also tomorrow, I’m getting together with a group of doll crafters to
work on our projects. I haven’t decided
yet what I’m doing. Fortunately I have
no end of UFO’s lying around, I will just grab a likely candidate and give it a
go. If I feel like being different, I might
even work on a bear!
Wishing you a creative weekend.
Have fun and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteMissed a whole week of keeping up with the blog... We need more weekends!
DeleteHeHe, I think we all cut something with a pair of scissors that we shouldn't have cut when we were small, at least you hair grew again, my poor Barbie doll never recovered from the haircut I gave her.
ReplyDeleteAnnie looks beautiful, I love her hairdo!
Have a fun and relaxing weekend
Thanks, Elga. And another weekend has flown past too! I'm looking with interest at all the lovely things you are doing.

Annie's hair is gorgeous - makes me want to perm mine again!
ReplyDeleteI once cut electrical wire without turning off the current - fortunately the scissors had plastic handles. Needless to say they were destroyed and I got (the shock) from my Mom! Aurora
Thanks for Annie's hair compliment. One thing I never did was stick my finger in a wall socket. In fact, my mother handed out such dire warnings about electricity that I always went around switching off wall plugs. I was frightened the electricity would leak out through the holes and follow me around the room. What a ninny I was!
