Okaaaay...

Everyone is busy this time of year, are they not?

I am hosting our family St. Nicholas Eve dinner on Friday.

This means there is much for me to be doing.

Just thought I would let you know that I am NOT doing that.

No.

I keep getting 'ideas'.

I'm starting to think that the getting of ideas is my besetting sin.

While looking at the rag doll I made (the first one) I got the idea that she needed clothes that would be more 'huggable' for Famke.

This caused me to DROP EVERYTHING.

I fled to the basement where THGGM had just moved my sewing room to the other side, which meant that my crazy organization was even more crazy.

But, I found what I was looking for - on my first try!

An old cashmere sweater of THGGM.

Soon, Famke's dolly will sport a lovely cashmere sweater dress, with long sleeves.

My plan for the day was to launder and iron the linen napkins (hey. quit laughing. i MIGHT have done that.) But, do you know how CUTE a linen napkin apron would look on a doll wearing a cashmere sweater dress?

My afternoon will involve watching Jonge and Famke while Daughter goes to the OB doctor.

This means there just may be a nap in my future.

Just a few random thoughts:

Why hasn't the news informed me that Mumbai used to be called Bombay? That would help me place events in my mind.

Why did I mess up my sewing machine right at the point when I was catching on to the idea of making PRACTICAL things?

Why do I keep getting headaches?

"The Edge of Sadness" is truly a remarkable book. See? I remarked about it.

Things are bad when I resort to eating chocolate chips straight from the bag.

Things aren't bad, yet, but I could see where that might happen. Soon.

Now, where was I?

Oh, yes.

I was busy.
