posting begets more posting.
Sep. 27th, 2009 07:55 pmI have goals for tomorrow. I've been keeping up with my etsy posting, but not my word count, (currently 3422/10,000) so I suppose it is a good thing that I deliberately picked a goal I know I can do entirely in a weekend, if necessary. Hoping to manage about 5k tomorrow, but we shall see.
Finally finished the tutorial I was avoiding (having to somehow turn 30 pictures into a not-far-too-long post takes it out of one...) and it is here, and it is far more "country" than I was expecting (I know, anyone else could have seen that coming...) but still fairly cool. Although I'm also considering giving it away again, since it's just on the long side for me, and I've already got the apron Emma gave me as a wedding present, which is also lovely and possibly more practical. We shall see.
And my first and favoritest ball joint doll that's not my own has been disassembled by his owner and is being partially sold off. I was trying to explain this to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grauwulf, who is still looking at me funny for other doll-related reasons, and the best I could come up with is that it's like seeing your favorite coffee shop in a place you don't live anymore go out of business-- it's not something that directly affects your life, or that you can or really want to do anything about, but it's just terribly sad. He still looked at me funny. Probably, I should have told him it was like going back to Augusta and finding out they'd closed Delilah's.
Meanwhile, aside from getting lost in Baltimore withgrauwulf's car full of our old windows on the way to the Re-Store, and various other little similar things, I picked up a duplicate to the little lamp I got to do proper doll photo lighting (so, in theory, I ought to be able to take better pictures, with two light sources... but do I? Ha!) from the neighbors' yard sale, and made pants for the wrong doll. (Lady has been waiting patiently for a slightly later period version of these, complete with lace, for some time now...)
