YES MISS DOTTIE SAD EYES!!!

Meet Miss Dottie...... "sad eyes".. thats a perception you can judge for yourself. Anyways... with all that my day had in store for me I managed to finish her and get her listed tonight. At one point today she sat on my lap.. no lips, no hair just eyes and a dress on her. I didn't even think I wanted to finish her. She is lucky to be here tonight!

As for my earlier complaints... I am over it... Im sure if she decides to email me again she will get under my skin but I won't grace her with my words of thank you for her wise interpretations of my dolls.... I will have to keep my real feelings inside... she can say whatever she wants... Im not changing my dolls eyes for her.... these are MY babies!!! So on to the next creation.. I have so much I need to do before the 15th !!! Time is getting away!!! Now tomorrow I plan to wake up on the RIGHT side of the bed!!!

OH for the love of it!!

I tell ya today has just topped my week.... and going to Walmart a short time ago has just sent me over the edge.... Yep I left the store in tears!!! I went to pick up a cd .. a gift to be for my sister... And in our Walmart and just about every Walmart Ive ever been in they hire the worst cashiers!!! Well lo and behold today was no exception!!! I like to park in out in the boonies due to my new car... and so I use the garden department almost daily. Well today I get the two worst clerks God probably created.... Not only are they both slow but overcharge numerous times to me and well heck I didnt want to walk clear up to the front again and then to the back forty to get my car in the drippy weather! So I go through.... she rings my cd up three times .. trying to put in a coupon for razor blades!!! Now how the heck do you do that? Finally I finish and go out the door.... get in my car and she is standing outside that doorway... with my CD in hand!!! Not only was she slow but she never even made the cd into the bag!!! By the time I get inside again shes back at the register.. hands me the cd and the poor door greeter ( bless her heart) had to take me aside and give me a hug which just started the tears flowing. I need a break.. make that a long break... CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!

Apparently I must be doing something wrong or right?

I guess now I must've woke up on the wrong side of the bed.... or this just hit me wrong first thing this morning. I received a comment to my newest listing on ebay. It goes as follows with the name witheld.
"You make some lovely dolls and a lot of hard work goes into to them. It is not my intent to hurt your feelings. I was wondering about something though that my friend commented to me about and that was "how come all her dolls look so sad?". I said I noticed that too...it's like their eyes are looking down too much and making them look so sad...but then I am not an expert my any means. "
Now while I can take this with corrective critism I also take it as a heartfelt negative one. If this is my style of eye it is my style of eye... you can either like it or not like it. If I made my eyes like every other dollmaker out there then what else would make them different? I really should consider the source as if I recall its the same person that complained about my shipping being WAY too high compared to anyone elses. I compared auctions to her and then she bid on mine anyways. HMMM..... Am I taking this hard today? YES... guess that heart is worn on my sleeve. So what does this do to me??? Does it make me second guess all I am doing? Are there others that feel or say that same comment?? And do I give it the time of day??? I guess its YES to all those questions... Wow !!! This puts a freaken crimp in my day!!!

Another day in the neighborhood... :)

Well one more down!!! Seems I am slowly but surely getting my dolls dressed finally! So hard for me to have them come to life and make them different. Sometimes I feel I get in a rut and just dont know if I am making something that makes others go ewww or ahhh.... but I'm plugging along here. Miranda is up on ebay for sale now... I do love the little gal!!
Nothing else much new here.... alot I want to do and I dont feel Im getting much accomplished in a day. Oh well tomorrow is a new day!!!

SLOWLY but surely!!????????

Well Zoey has made her debut on ebay!! Hard to believe after days of bodies sitting around ONE actually made it to completion. Im battling one of those days that everyone seemed to want my time and my sewing has taken a backseat. I hate these days!! Why is it that on their days off they seem to think Im to take one off? I have a splitting headache and I need a break!!! Steve is taking me out to dinner... okay one consolation for the day. I dont have any dishes to do!! BUT I will be sewing again all night in this room cuz my time was not MY time today!!! Tomorrow has to be better!!!

Progress????????????????????????

I dont know about you but does this look like progress???

Naked bodies all over the dang place!! I sure hope someone decides to dress these babies soon Im getting tired of stepping over them to do things in this sewing room!

On another note... nothing else much new here today,,,its cold and foggy here. Strange August in the 50s and the leaves are falling off the trees. I dont know about in other places but we didnt have a summer here. Oh take that back we had two days that were warm.. one of those being hot near 90 the other high 70s. Then fall set in... burrrrrr!!!!!!

Its GREEK!!!

Yep look what I got.. Don't have a clue how to use it!!! Its GREEK!!! I so hoped to install this and figure it out... what it all does etc...LOL now thats a joke for me!! Somehow , someway I will figure this out if it takes me a lifetime... which it probably will!

Other than installing Photoshop I spent my day sewing... I have one pumpkin doll in the making and four other dolls... STILL have three naked Santas laying on the floor in a pile and they might still be there next week!! Somehow I need to get my rear in gear here!!! Until tomorrow... thats my life.....
