Here's another one for you...

     You know the doll that I "redecorated" (see previous post)? I told you I had sewn a whole wardrobe for her? I had a pattern and sewed the various versions of the pieces: wedding dress with juliet cap with attached veil (which was net dotted with rhinestones!) and a square dance outfit with an undecorated straw bonnet I got from somewhere and made a ruffle and streamers for it to match the dress. I made her a formal from the wedding dress pattern. It was pink batiste with white taffeta lining and slip. Then with no pattern just slashing and hashing away, I made a nighty (had LOTS of pink batiste and don't remember why) with ivory lace trim and the fancy-schmancy peignoir to match it: knee-length in front—to show the lace-edged nighty which reached to the ankle—but tapering to a train in the back. Very fancy as I said. I still have those things. They were fun to make then and fun to look at now.

     I will be putting up pix as soon as I get a disc for my camera. I have to depend on the Man for transportation. I managed to break my foot (a whole nother story which perhaps I will tell you when I finally GET THIS STUPID CAST OFF...oh sorry. Didn't mean to yell!) so I can't drive for another two weeks. You might feel some sympathy when I tell you it will be a whole seven weeks subsisting on sponge baths only. The drivingless angle is nothing compared with the bathless state!

     Onward. I have this room in which I am currently sitting with computer on my lap chatting with y'all. In it I must make room for sewing, designing, fitting of me and the dolls, storage of materials and the gowns I hope to copy in various doll sizes out of their fabric so I can stop with trying to store the big dresses which I won't be wearing anymore and make copies of them sized for my American Model Goth Girl and any other of our various ladies from Ashton Drake Genes and all her changes through various companies—"studios" if you will—as well as Vita and Tyler and others of like size and shape in addition to the AMs. 

     Since I made the big ones in the first place and have those patterns, I can easily make patterns to fit the mini-ladies from the schematics on the evelopes. I don't think that would ruffle anyone's copyright feathers, would it? Due to size difference, they wouldn't be exact copies anyway!

     Well, enough of this...got to get back to clearing and storing and sorting and doing all the other junk work necessary to get my plans on the road to actuality!

    Ciao! bis später, y'all!
