Art Doll #2


Art Doll for typenik Posted by Hello

Well, I completed my second art doll for Pequad's Nervousness Birthday Art doll LMAO. I tried making a canvas doll. It was very ethnic with india ink designs covering the front of it, but due to it's stiffness, I couldn't see that it would stuff or sew very well. I feel as though I am playing it safe with the beaded doll though. The first one was OK it was new, but now it seems that I am going to keep going with this trend. I guess the next LMAO I sign up for will have to be textile only. I do so want to learn to make a cloth art doll!

On another note, I was blog reading yesterday and thanks to Unfinished Projects I followed a link to busblog and read an article on how to blog.

Sorry to family and friends, if this blog disappears it will be because I took what this article said to heart and looked for my true inner voice.

St Patrick Day Feast

We are almost there! Tomorrow, I invite my Father, Mother and In-Laws over for our traditional St. Patrick's Day Feast: Corned Beef and Baked Potatoes and Cabbage. It is an awesome meal, served with horseradish whip cream sauce and parsley sauce. I'm taking the day off in order to cook it. It is an involved meal, more so that some we make. I might even try some soda bread this year. Yum! I can hardly wait, we only have this meal once a year.

Thanks for the laugh..

Oh I MUST thank Hillary of Wee Wonderfuls for the link to Fluid Pudding. Man. After two weeks where barely a minute was my own I was set to begin this day in a rather "just give me two minutes to myself" mood. Then I read Angela's blog.

I hate it when I am sitting at work (I sit out front in the office - exposed to the front door, my boss and anyone elsewho happens by) and I begin to giggle, then snicker and finally a belly laugh and people look at me wondering what the hell I am laughing at. But her blog struck a cord. Only women can make resigned fun of themselves, and have it be true and painful and funny all at once. I have to pee.
