yard sales were good; I now have a brightly multi-colored scarf and the third matching barbie to make the Morrigan (among other things). Craft fair was also good, although several of the people I wanted to patronize weren't actually there, which was sad. And I didn't get a gorgeous (and highly expensive) reproduction woodblock print, either. Possibly I should not spend vast amounts of money this month for a change...
Instead I spent $4 at the craft store and with low-temp glue gun in hand I did horribly undignified things to my doll that involved taking his limbs off. And now his arms actually stay where I put them, instead of snapping to his sides at awkward angles. Unfortunately, I have not sorted out his legs quite as well yet; what we find is that good hot glue sueding is excellent and in all ways wonderful, and bad hot glue sueding doesn't quite make the joints stick properly, and squeaks. Oh well. I'll have to take him apart again anyway to sand off his mold seams, so I can continue to fiddle with what the points of contact are in his legs then. And possibly tighten up the elastic a bit, too.
