Here she is, basking in the sun. I felt kind of cruel, taking her out for a photo shoot. The temperature is around 100 degrees and she is dressed in her wool housecoat, slippers and kerchief… not to mention her wool skin and hair. She made it through with a smile on her face though. What troopers these grandmas are.<\/p>\n

Above is the face, in progress, before I added her eyebrows. And here is the back- her hair in curlers under her kerchief:<\/p>\n

**Warning- I’m going to whine now. Last night I got an email telling me that I am a Plush You<\/a> reject. I guess I’m not surprised. I was seeing around the blogs I read, about other people getting acceptances weeks ago. And truthfully, when they posted about my work<\/a> on their site in March, I thought there was a lack of enthusiasm. And then today, I see this review<\/a> on Drool.icio.us<\/a>. Is it just me being too sensitive, or is this kind of harsh? Have these people seen what an American Girl<\/a> doll costs? Should I be happy that people are noticing my work at all? Any publicity is good publicity?<\/p>\n

Well anyway, I keep going back to this review<\/a> at Design Boner<\/a> to boost my spirits. Being totally clueless though, I had to figure out whether a design boner was good or bad!<\/p>\n

Something else to make my day. A perfect Abraham Darby Rose. So fragrant. Breathe deeply and relax.<\/p>\n
