daydreaming of things to make
While my wrists beg for a break from the yarn, I’ve started thinking about sewing and other things I might be able to do without causing pain due to carpal tunnel related aches. Given that I’ve just unearthed a large cache of old clothes with awesome details and small flaws, I’ve got plenty of fuel, now to light the fire.
Part of what makes it hard is that my doll has yet to quite define her style for me; she’s a quirky little thing. We’re still getting to know each other, it’s been a few months but I’m rather guarded, as is she. Surprisingly, she doesn’t object as much to light colors as I thought she might, odd how my own tastes aren’t reflected by my doll’s choice of dress. Rather the way my lizard has different taste in music than I do, she clearly enjoys reggae, though some of it is not to my taste. Am I being as crazy as that sounds?! If you’d seen Bobarella the iguana’s reaction to music, you wouldn’t think so. Something makes her glance around until she finds the source, either the tv or the stereo, or sometimes one of her humans will make fun noises for her amusement. If I could post videos, I’d share the delightfully cute way she zones out to Pink Floyd’s guitar solos and perks up when the lyrics kick in. Ahh, the joys of pets, doing cute things that no one else cares about for millienia now.
Perhaps I’ll stitch Loolu up something fun today between loads of laundry and other mundane household drudgery. I will NOT touch yarn, no knitting, no crochet, no yarn at all until my wrists and arms stoip hurting for a few days. Darned carpal tunnel.
