a great pair of legs... is it too much to ask?

I got a new sister! Yup.... Linda picked me to be a blog sister. She doesn't have any sisters and wants to adopt one..or maybe even two or three... and she picked me! I feel pretty honoured.
Heh..heh.... little does she know what she's in for...I'm reeeelly bossy!







Ya gotta love bloggers though .... especially "the fun (or funny) ones and Linda is all of that. Her latest post will crack you up.... she is planning to be in the Guinness Book of World Records...

Many's the day I'd like to pretend I have an extra sister as well... so, in that vein, ... I'll invite a few ladies to join the sisterhood group. I'll choose a few outside our immediate group of photo a day gals because they've probably been tagged already or will be soon if not... ....

In other news.... there are legs hanging all over the place around here. Dangling from lamps, sewing machines,... window cranks. However, I did read a page that was interesting today and it said to use hangars to hang things from while waiting for them to dry. Now, why didn't I think of that?

It's been a busy week of sewing up legs...and sewing up legs...and sewing up even more darn legs. It would probably help if I knew something about sewing. I couldn't seem to make two that were the same size to save my soul. I finally figured out that if I placed the pattern at the same angle on the fabric ... it worked much better. Why on earth it took me so long to figure it out I have no idea. Even then... it just seems like one teeeeensy angle different on one teeeensy stitch and a knee becomes so much more pointy than the other..... whew.... what a rigamarole just to get one pair of great legs. Of course, it's because the grain of the fabric was different on each leg...therefore, when stuffing...it just became plumper or thinner or longer or shorter...or ..well, you get the idea. I made more than a mental "note to self" this time. This time I am making notes on paper. As I go along. Mr. BV's latest, greatest suggestion. Well, really, why would I expect myself to remember all the tips and tricks from one year to the next? even Einstein made lots of notes..because he said it was silly to keep trivia in his head... stuff like his own phone number...hahahahha .. Besides... it has been a year since I made a doll. Seeing as I do so little sewing..I easily forget the sewing tips... like..... I could forget this as early as tomorrow morning. Maybe not.....

Then, I had a play with some Apoxy Sculpt and didn't have much luck there either. It's also been a year since I used that stuff. Don't get me wrong, it is fun stuff..just seemed my hands didn't know what to do with it anymore..... .. what a whiner eh? But, it's not all bad.... the shoes that definitely didn't cut the mustard?...I saved to play with . Well, to practice some painting before I try it on the good pair....














After all that moaning, I think you guys deserve some tea and cookies...whaddya say? Percy says he'll wait tables.
