Mein’s New Dress
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
Last week, we did nothing in particular. The plague came back, and it feels like it is drawing closer each day. We can only hope to keep ourselves safe. A lot of our friends are not feeling particularly awesome. Each time we speak with someone we know, they are sick of one thing or another.
It is really disconcerting. We started by praying for two people who did not feel particularly awesome. The list is starting to grow. Anyhow, at least my brother and mother are safe. I pray for their safety every day. Since we were stuck at home again, I tried making a new doll dress.
When I tried it by myself, it came out wrong. I tend to get frustrated when things do not come out amassing, the first time around. I used to have more patience as a kid. Not so much, anymore. I should get a book or something on the matter, but I feel I have too many hobbies. In the end, mother helped me with the dress.
My lowly contribution was in the form of the little flower on the dress of the doll. The dress was made out of an underwear with laces that nobody has ever used. We got it as a terrible gift a long time ago. Since it was of a model that nobody could tolerate, it was left in the drawer to rot away. We recently decided to repurpose it.
After looking at my three bjd dolls, I decided to make the dress for the little one, Mein. I think it came out great. Mother even made a headband for the doll. I think I just do not like making dresses on my own. It is nice to share a little hobby with one’s own mother.
Folks should try that from time to time. It might amuse you. Then again, it depends on the mothers. Some mothers just want a marionette, and not a little kid. My mother always respected the fact that I had a little something called free will. Aside from the dress, I saw something amusing.
The neighbor’s brat was climbing his mango tree, and it was amusing to see. The one eye cat from the neighborhood found a new sleeping spot. It happens to be my sunflower patch. I don’t mind cause I like cats. I don’t feed it, since the cat doesn’t want to be fed. He wants to hunt. Two kitties also visit the yard from time to time. All in all, the cats visiting is ever so amusing. I think this is about it. I hope you find the bjd doll photos entertaining.
