I can hardly believe it.  I am feeling proud of myself!  :-)<\/p>\n<p>I would describe myself as being a late adapter in anything technological and also rather phobic about writing, and I have managed to not only do this for a year, but have really enjoyed it.  I have looked back to see the finished and the unfinished projects&#8230; the finished one got their own <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/category\/finished-projects\/\">link<\/a>, the unfinished ones are what I am thinking about.  So now for a boring rehash-<\/p>\n<p>There were the 2 dolls from antique patterns-<a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/02\/womens-home-companion-doll\/\">here<\/a>.  I think I learned what I needed to know by sewing them together.  Then I lost interest, and never felt the urge to dress them.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/02\/gourds\/\">gourd head dolls<\/a>&#8211; well I finished the middle one.  That turned into <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/04\/introducing-sadie\/\">Sadie<\/a>.  The other two?  Who knows, I might get back to them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/04\/the-heads-now-have-hair\/\">These guys<\/a> never went anywhere.  Not surprising&#8230; I&#8217;m just not interested in the whole polymer clay sculpting thing.  Also, a scale I&#8217;m not inspired by.<\/p>\n<p>I never bothered dressing <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/05\/new-kids\/\">these dolls<\/a> that I made at WOW!04.  Although I learned what I wanted to learn from the class, doing something from someone elses&#8217; pattern and in someone elses&#8217; style- not for me.<\/p>\n<p>I find <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/07\/bodywork-2\/\">these bodies<\/a> interesting.  I actually finished 3 dolls from them- Autumn, Minnie and Tallulah, and have 2 dolls in progress.  That is pretty good in my picture of things.<\/p>\n<p>Now why didn&#8217;t I ever finish this <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/07\/recycle-bag-bag\/\">recycled bag bag<\/a>?  Hmmm, gotta get on that.<\/p>\n<p>I never did finish this <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/07\/recycle-bag-bag\/\">bag<\/a> either.  Gee this list is getting kind of long.<\/p>\n<p>I never got <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/10\/doll-club\/\">Golden Baby<\/a> to a point that I was satisfied with.  I recently showed him to a friend for a critique, which was very helpful.  I think I know what I need to do now, so he might show up in the finished project file after all.<\/p>\n<p>I have  loads of things I consider active projects- <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2005\/02\/on-to-other-projects\/\">4 ladies<\/a>&#8211; yeah I know there are only 3 in the picture.<br \/>\nAnd <a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/2005\/02\/5-heads\/\"> these 5 heads<\/a>.<br \/>\nAlso several knitting projects and softies and , and, and&#8230; so many projects, so little time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, it&#8217;s been a year!
