TODAY

Today I cleaned most of the house except for my studios which are a BIG MESS!!  Been busy with life in general that takes me away from creating when I should. BUT, it all worked out in plenty of time. LOL! LOL!  I shouldn't say that too loud. :-0  I will start cleaning my studios tomorrow or Monday. Going out after while to a Birthday party.  Tomorrow I have to watch Nascar and they are racing here in Texas.  I will be watching it on TV.  They will be racing again later this year when it's cooler.  I would love to go once to the race track and watch them.  Maybe when they are here later this year I can go to the race track to watch them.  Maybe I will get some cleaning done in my studio before the race is on. :-)  I wouldn't bet on it. LOL LOL! 

Allergies are really getting to me right now.  Maybe we should have stayed in Las Vegas where allergies aren't too bad.  I guess it doesn't matter where you live there's some kind of allegy going on.  I'm one that gets allergies no matter where I am.  If it's not food allergies it's air borne allergies and that is what I have now. 

HAPPY ARPIL FOOLS DAY!!!  ROFL ROFL FOOLED YOU?????  Tomorrow and then the 2nd is our grandson's birthday.  He was almost born on April Fools Day.. He could have been but daughter didn't want to do that to him.  She had a C-section.   He was born just after midnight on April 2nd. 

Well, I have rattled on enough.  I should be cleaning my studios instead of playing on the computer but it's more fun playing on the computer. 
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY!

HI & STILL WORKING ON A COUPLE OF DOLLS

Hope all are busy creating.  I've been working all day and most of this evening trying to finish a doll.  I JUST FINISHED IT!!! WOOOHOO!  ONE MORE TO CREATE!!  I'm RUNNING BEHIND AS USUAL.  I thought Just Maybe 2012 would be better than 2011........ BUT stuff keeps happening to slow me down on working in my studio. Nothing bad happening; Thank Goodness.  Not here any how.  Some of our kids are having some health issues. They are having them taken care of. They are seeing their doctors. The waiting for all the test, etc. to be over with and the results of the test to come back is hard waiting. I just had my yearly blood work.  Not too bad.  I have high Triglycerides, they are a lot lower than last year. I've had high Triglycerides for years. Now my Cholesterol is a little bit high.  I have Vitamin D deficiency. I'm on 2000 IU Vitamin D3 a day.  I don't get out in the sun much at all :-)    Cholesterol is a little high but working on that also.  I'm taking Fish Oil (lots of it; 1000-4000mg) plus my Vitamin D3.  Got to loose some weight and walk on the treadmill. Go back in 3 months for more blood work. I go to weight watchers but I HAVE BEEN BAD!! Who's going to sew my mouth shut???????? Vivian can you come here with your needle and thread????? LOL LOL!!!  Got to keep all the goodies out of the house or I will eat it. Especially Vanilla Ice Cream.  I get started and can't stop eating it. LOL LOL!! Really not funny. :-)
HERE AND NOW I PROMISE MYSELF I WILL KEEP TO MY WEIGHT WATCHERS DIET AND LOOSE WEIGHT EACH WEEK!!  I PROMISE I WILL NOT BUY VANILLA ICE CREAM OR ANY OTHER GOODIES. 
CUPCAKE FAIRY is going to keep me on my diet. Can't eat the cupcake she has. It's made out of paperclay. Would not be to Yummy!! to eat.  She's sitting in my kitchen watching me and making sure I don't eat GOODIES!! Every time I look at her she reminds me NOT TO EAT GOODIES! :-)
It's MIDNIGHT and I'm going to go to bed.  Got to get up early and start working on another new doll.
Night All,
Hugs

STILL WORKING ON DOLLS!!! AND LIFE IN GENERAL!!

I got a little doll sculpted but not painted or dressed yet.  Got a couple of birds sculpted and almost finished. Sewing up body parts this evening.  Tomorrow going to Weight Watchers (mmmmm! don't know if I want to get on the scales!!) LOL LOL!!  I was a little bit bad this week.  Got to stop eating out and bringing good stuff in the house. MY WILL POWER IS NOT GOOD RIGHT NOW!  I say Life hands you a Lemon EAT Sugar.  I know that is bad to eat sugar. LOL  I WILL BE GOOD!!
Got to get off here and start supper. Hubby will be home soon.  Having Turkey but NOT all the trimmings that go with it.  Will have a veggie salad, baked potatoe and green beans.  That's a good WW meal. 
Everyone Have A Creative Day! or Night!

SOON IT WILL BE MIDNIGHT

MIDNIGHT WALK


It's 2 1/2 hours before Midnight.  Hopefully I will be in bed by then. LOL!! I'm trying to get some work finished on a doll but not sure if it's going to happen or not tonight.  My eyes are already getting heavy.  Nope caffeine won't help.  Caffeine doesn't keep me awake.  Never has and probably never will. 
Got a body cooking in the oven. NOW NOW!! Don't get excited.....It's a clay doll body.  I was watching TV with my Hubby and I was sculpting a little doll body.  Just the torso.  Still have to sculpt arms, legs and head.  I have to stop at Michael's tomorrow and get some supplies I need to finish her.
SUPPOSE TO RAIN ALL DAY TOMORROW.  I HOPE NOT!!   Going to a friends house for a Play Day.  Several of us get together and work on our dolls or whatever else we want to work on.  We have a great time.  Not sure what I'm taking to work on yet.  Maybe I'll take a cloth body to stuff with fiberfill, some decorative papers, modpodge and other stuff to finish her with.  She'll have a clay face with cloth over. Color in face features, etc.  Don't think I'll finish her but will get a good start on her.  She will be a doll for Teaching Proposal unless I change my mind about teaching her. Although she would be a great doll to teach.  I sold one similar to her for $250 a couple  of years ago. I won't be selling this doll or her pattern because she will be a doll that I will teach from time to time.   See I told you I was tried.  I keep rattling on and on.  OK it's time for me to get off here and go get the doll body out of the oven.  I just heard the timer go off. 
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT TIME CREATING!
HUGS,

MAMMY

Meet "MAMMY"  I made her after my Mammy (grandmother).  We called her Mammy.  I made her dress, slip, hat, purse, glasses and shoes like ones she really wore. She looks like she did.  I love and miss her.  She's been gone for 24 years.  I still remember and hang on to lots and lots of memories.  She taught me how to make paper dolls, crochet and lots of other things.
