Free at Last!

I am free because I quit my day job. I no longer slave over things I have designed, printed, folded and dispersed for others. Of course, I no longer have a steady paycheck either, but hey, sometimes you have to sacrifice. Also, of course, this means that my husband will have to support me but I believe that was in the original contract anyway...or at least the one I choose to imagine.

Now, after I clean up after five years' worth of slapdash housekeeping because of work and do the taxes, i.e., find the paperwork and deliver it to the accountant, I will have time to play dolls!

Unfortunately, a lot of that slapdash housekeeping included neglect of my doll room which shows it in the piles of boxes and bags and bins and Battat horses (too big to put anywhere except the "stable" under my computer desk/sewing table) and various more or less doll-scale stuff I have collected because I thought it had furniture-oid or other possibilities, and...you doll folk get the picture, I'm sure.

It also means that I will have time to put out the GENE magazine in a more regular fashion. Not to mention, keeping up a running commentary on this very blog.

But the most important thing I believe this means is that I will have time to organize the Dolly Diva Designs Boutique and actually get it up and running. I know, I know. I hear the loud chorus of my long-suffering public (okay, my one follower) screaming, "About time!"

So. Let's see how much fun I can have and I'll report on it all right here!

Till next time.
