final ...exam..in auto cad.  Be right back.....soon.... By the way....I'm having a tea party with my girls for the royal wedding...how about you?

The other day I picked up my mail and found this... And I was a little sad because I have been waiting for some kind of notification.... a yes or a no.  I had submitted a tiny doll for the tiny doll challenge.  I waited paitiently.  It killed me.  No e-mail.  No returned package.  No Dear John letter. So when I realized the issue with the challenge results had arrived my heart sunk a little.  I guess that was my notification.  My tiny submission would probably be returned to me shortly.  I would have to decide to buck up and remember you get a lot of no's before you get a yes. But in typical Chris fashion I had to peruse ADQ before I even got out of the car.  Yes, its that bad for me....I have no will power.... I have to give it a look over......I mean really, they had me at the cover!  That's artist Sherri Debow's art work.  All I can say to describe it is wow!  The detail, the concept, the color palette- I'm in awe.  Plus we're both members of Cloth and Clay D

I thought the top moment of the day would be the moment I realized that my husband's tall truck wasn't going to fit under the bumperguard of the parking ramp. The one that said "Maximum height 6'3".

It had already been a long day and I had just about had my fill of lovely adventures. Actually I was in 'numb' mode. Sometimes my life gets away from me and it gets so unbelievably convoluted that I can't even afford to get upset. I have to just put my h

I offer these two pictures as proof of life or existence of Sara Crewe; character doll for the storybook character challenge on Cloth and Clay dolls. You know, the one I'm hosting. Unfortunately, while other clever sculptors and doll artists have been astounding me with their talent- I, I have been blocked, stymied, unproductive and generally less than successful. But not unproductive as I have created head after doll head in attempt to recreate the Sara Crewe I see in my head. Apparently my head doesn't explain things well to my hands. Or my hands don't carry out direction well. Anyways, here is head number seven... attached to a body..... and thus it begins....the end to the madness... a clear (I hope) path to follow.
