Good afternoon! Gracious it is such a beautiful day here today! Warm , sunny & perfect! I am very tardy with getting this post....well, posted....I was planning on doing it much sooner (last night actually) however....I broke my toe Wednesday which has put a kink in my scheduled activities & has slowed me down considerably! It is taped up & I have to wear a very unattractive "boot/cast" thingy to keep my toes immobile and it's really hindering my daily activities....I just returned from grocery shopping and I'm exhausted....Mark asked me about 15 times If I needed him to go with me...to the point of annoying me actually ...and each time I said "oh my goodness NO...I'm fine"..well..about 20 minutes into it I was wiped right out and was severely regretting my stubbornness! Thank goodness he was here when I got home!!! He unloaded the car and put them all away for me ,I know darn well there was no way I would have been able to carry those groceries in this house. My clumsiness has started to break me..so I guess I had better start paying better attention to where I'm walking from now!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Okay..let me introduce you to Mrs. Robin~
....who I am very proud of, if I do say so myself...I had an idea in my head..sketched her out on paper and she came to life just as I wanted her to! This does not happen all that often for me...so I am thrilled! Usually 1/2 way through the process Miss doll decides she wants to be someone else entirely and I have no choice but to go with the flow!
This time.....Miss Doll & I were apparently thinking the same thing :)
My goal was to portray a doll who was actually a bird..but I wanted the bird features to be subtle..If I was a Robin..I would want to look just like this! I just love her tail feathers...I think it makes the entire doll...that and her sweet little beak! She has the rust colors of a Robin as well as the deep brown color of their feathers.....oh I could just go on and on..but I won't..it's a very lovely day here and I am headed outside for a bit. The kids will be here this afternoon to spend the night..YEAH.....we are having a big bbq at Mom & Dad's tomorrow to celebrate Kurt's 21st Birthday....so this evening...and tomorrow morning..Jenna & I have much baking and cooking to do.Wishing you a wonderful day and thank you all for stopping by..it's been lovely having you :)
