Feeling a bit under the weather, but at least I’ve got a lovely resin friend to keep me company as I sip at some tea and await the sinus pills to do their magic.  Thus far today, I’ve got an adorable little hat halfway made up, it’s lovely shades of red, purple and a tiny bit of deep orange with wooly bumps in the yarn, it’s going to be quite nice, but it’s not a style Loolu would wear, so we’re planning to set up a sales list of some sort, for the things I’ve made practicing to make things for Loolu.  It’s terrible, I know, every time I get an idea I have to try it out in a less-enjoyable yarn first, just to be sure I won’t wreck a ‘good’ ball of yarn trying something new.  The same with sewing, it sounds silly, but when I make small items like doll clothes, I start out by making several in hopes that one will be perfect when it’s all done with.  I’ve learned not to re-scrap the trial projects though, after many afternoons wandering though an arts and crafts fair thinking that I’m far too harsh on my own work seeing what these ‘professionals’ are doing…
Ah, the weather is a bit overcast, not too chilly but just right for a fall afternoon spent needle in hand to create some dolly wear.  Perhaps I’ll even sew snaps onto all the nearly-finished garments that’ve been waiting in my sewing basket.  The ongoing project of re-packing all of our belongings for the upcoming remodel has yielded a massive uncovering of elastics and fabrics I’d forgotten, ready to become cute little undies and dresses- a complete wardrobe is in order for my resin darling, I’d better be going to fetch my sewing basket and get on with the stitching.  Have fun, I’ll probably have a new project idea for us to try tomorrow!
