Day 1291
Ok, very briefly, since I have to be at work an hour early this morning.
Pixel seems to have stopped eating. He won't touch anything I offer him and just begs pets a lot. *sigh* I remember this from Comstock. SO I'm petting him every time I'm anywhere close.
While I was at work yesterday, someone knocked the side mirror off my passenger door. He came in and gave me his name, insurance and phone number so it's not as bad as it could be but when on earth am I going to have time to go get it fixed? The car seems to have no other damage.
I've been playing with dolls lately. I love the new Barbie silkstone body- hate the face. My plan is to take the vintage face I love and put it on a new body... and then warm up the vintage shoes until they're malleable and remold them to the silkstone feet (much higher heels). Barbie collectors the world over are screaming in anguish at the very thought. I'm also drafting a pattern for the coat I want- I saw a picture once of a coat that I think was Dior- a one of a kind and made for some fashion show or other for Barbie. Ok, it's pretty simple and I have a vintage pattern for a shirt- how hard could it be? I'll take a photo record and post it sometime when I get done.
The light over the kitchen sink has finally burned out.
After not being able to get any hours at work last week, I'm in high demand this week and will be working very close to 40 hours. Well, that's a start on getting my bank account padded back to a comfortable level.
Mom wants a coconut cream pie for her birthday next week. Fortunately, this is one I can practically do from memory... and have just about perfected. On the down side, neither Emily or I like coconut all that much so this weekend, I'm making Emily a Strawberry Oasis Pie.
She's almost finished and will soon be on her way to me.
Gotta scamper....
