I'm Baaaaack!!

Well, people, I'm working on my doll room. That is, I'm trying to make a doll room out of the spare room in our house. Not so easy. Why? Because it used to be my "study"... no, I wasn't really studying anything but since I have a desk in there, I call it my study. It is really sort of my reading room because my gazillion books from various parts of my life—including but not limited to music school, art school, pre-med and the pervasive English minor throughout and since I've always had an interest in fashion, there are all those books in there too. Basically, I have an addictive personality. Drugs and alcohol do not interest me at all. So what is my vice? You guessed it...books!! Then I married a fellow sufferer. How smart was that?! Turned out to be very smart—HE GETS IT!

However, the doll addiction? Not so much. Sigh. 

So now, I'm trying to winnow books and dolls and make some space to actually sew the stuff I've been planning to sew for some...let's see...2002 was my first Gene convention... 2015 minus 2002 equals...yikes! That's thirteen YEARS!!! Oh well, even though I thought I had retired from singing when I got married and moved away from Seattle, I still did several concerts and stuff until I moved here to our current home in a small college town where I just sing the occasional solo in church. 

It's fun here though because it's close to San Francisco and besides, there is a huge concert complex here (donated by a famous wine company, initial M and final letter I with five more letters in between...get it yet?), with several halls of various sizes, that attracts performers of all kinds from everywhere. The most recent concert we went to was violinist Itzhak Perlman—such a wonderful artist, that man.

So back to the main topic here at DDD—dolls! You see I do have a difficulty. Until I clear out the "doll" room so it can become the Doll Room, the dolls are strewn about the living room and some are still in the storeroom screaming to be let out into the light! So come on, folks. Rescue these ladies. They need you to set them free! Oh, that's right. I have to let you know who they are and what their wardrobes contain. Gotta make a list, just gotta. Okay.

I'll just keep you up to date on my progress until I can actually produce such a list. My promise to you? We will not see the passing of another year without The List...or at least the beginnings of same!

Progress report soon so keep in touch.
