New Bag…

The bag is done. The sharpie is for scale. I took it out for a test drive today… this will not be an everyday purse for me unless I can get myself a minature sketchbook and smaller size everything else that I seem to be totally dependent on… I’m not good at transitions!

I am amazed every year when this tree blooms. It just seems unbelievable that this tree can survive in Boston!

If my crochet bag turns out well, I want to try and make one of these. Ben came home yesterday with shopping in very pretty red color plastic bags… he was wondering why I wouldn’t let him throw them away!

boudoir dolls

Tuesday, July 6th, 2004

I watched “The Thin Man” the other night. If I ever get around to making a boudoir doll, I think I will use Myrna Loy as a model!

Boudoir dolls have interested me for a while so I’ve collected images from ebay here.

Great reference site- http://home.fuse.net/boudoirdoll/
so sad- when I went to my bookmarks to look at some other sites I’d marked a while ago, they are no longer there.

I’ve been sick… no energy to work and since we have no TV, I’ve been spending way too much time on the computer. I’ve been reading all sorts of blogs- clicking through on all those links on everyone elses’ pages. Also, browsing on ebay. Some good stuff-
a great mini-sock pattern- at At My Wit’s End.
Cool books at-Kittys Oriental Craft Shop. I saw this ebay seller’s books before linked from another blog, but stumbled across it again today. Lots of great photos on every listing.
Okay that’s enough for now… hope I’m back to work soon- either that or I need a lot more links…
