Just thought I would start a post where any thing that you wanted to say could be put and do it a month at a time like we had on the other forum. Added a little spring flower this time as it is now spring in the usa even though in some places there is still cold weather and snow. I did a show over the weekend which wasn't very good so that may be the end of doing shows for me. We will see when fall comes how I feel. I do most of my selling on facebook so I think that is where I will start to list some of the dolls I have. My custom orders is good from facebook too so seeing I am on the site several times a day I think it will work for me. What is everyone else up to?? Attachments:

My internet has been down for a few days, but it's back now. Monday was pretty exciting. I went to run some errands and went to lunch with my sister, but unfortunately I got sick while I was out. How embarrassing.
Tomorrow I go to fill out a job application at Goodwill. Wish me luck. I really hope I'll get hired on there.

That would be great if you could get on with Goodwill. Fingers crossed for you Jessie.

The only bad thing is that my pack will probably grow exponentially, lol. That would be awesome. Actually that's why I want to work there. It's really sad because a lot of Goodwill stores are notorious for throwing a lot of stuff away without even trying to sell it, or so I've heard, but I asked several people about it at the one I'm applying to, and they said they don't do that unless it's in really bad shape and can't be sold. I hope that's true, as I don't think I could bear having to throw away plushies. I'd probably want to take them home with me rather than toss them.
I'm sort of nervous about the application process, as that's one of the scariest things in the world to me, but the gentleman at the career center part was very nice both times I've talked to him. I just hope I don't get too relaxed with him and become all socially awkward or do something stupid to make them not like me. When I went the first time to talk to someone, they said I needed to bring someone with eyeballs to help me. They couldn't assist me that day, so I went in the store part, and a wolf joined my pack. Wonder if there will be another wolf tomorrow. That would be awesome.
Hey Eva, do you still get to go to thrift stores to look for dolls? If you do, can you keep an eye out for wolves for me?

I am happy for you Jessie. It will be nice that you are working again.
I don't get to thrift stores very often. There just isn't anything that I need any more. We stopped yesterday for the first time in a month at the Goodwill and we walked out without buying anything. I have so many dolls now that I need to get rid of. My tastes in what I want to keep has changed a lot.
Plus now with our son here and our 11 year old grand daughter coming this summer, I just do not have the room for anything any more.
John is not doing that great and I see him back in the hospital soon. He has some new problems now. We will find out next week when we go to the doctor. Already had the blood tests.
I need to be working on my doll clothes orders but I am still trying to catch up on the housework from being gone all weekend. Housework is never ending but I don't like a messy house.
Hope they call you soon on the job Jessie.

Aww man *hugs both of you*. My Meemaw is also having a lot of trouble. On top of the cancer she's battling, she also found out she has congestive heart failure and pneumonia, and no telling what else. I'm scared and really having a hard time. I wish I was sick instead of her.

At this point Eva, I would love to be able to do house work!
Jessie, I am so very happy for you and still praying for Meemaw. Lenora

Lenora, thanks for talking to me today. I'm still holding my tear-stained bear, but the day got a lot better after I talked with you.

So sorry about your Meemaw Jessie. I know how you love her so much. I will add her to my prayers.
Lenora, I wish you could feel better. I know it has to be horrible to be sick all the time. You want to do things and just can't. Prayers for you too.
I have been working on a dress and pinafore for a customer. It is for a large Masterpiece doll. I don't like making dresses for a doll that big when all I have is measurements and have never seen one of the dolls in person. They are very expensive dolls, several hundred dollars each. I will send the outfit to her with fingers crossed that it fits right.
Now I am working on pinafores for the Chatty dolls that have been sitting half finished for the last month or so, maybe longer. Had too many other things going on to get them finished and didn't need them right away.
Picked up another Chatty from eBay cheap and have bids on a couple more. The one I got yesterday has a back arm flange so will have to see if I can't fix her. Have fixed all the others that were like that. She is a nice hard face with good coloring so just need to work on the arm. I am really liking the hard faced ones.
Still have to find the right color of paint to work on the white limbs that I have in a box. Lenora, do you remember what color that I need to buy??

I really want to see a Masterpiece doll at some time, although I hear that a lot of them are all hard and not very squuzzy.
For some reason I have a bad case of butterflies in my stomach and have no idea why. That happens sometimes. Epic fail. I hate that.

Eva, I don't remember the color...you just have to mix until it is right. I do have one that has a pair of pantyhose on and she looks good but I know her legs are white underneath. Lenora
