Today, I took the day off.

I made some fantastic scores at the thrift stores yesterday, I will include pics. I am still posting pics on Etsy. After I list, I package so I will be good to go after the sell. I must admit, I have become quiet attached to some of my pieces. I have not yet listed the fireplace, but I will and I am sure the one I have in the making now will then be my favorite. During my last trip to Hobby Lobby, I discovered textured heavy paper. I covered a chair in it and it looks like vinyl or leather. Cannot decide. I remember when I was a child we had a livingroom grouping in orange. Really, we did, and while I probably do not have 10 things in my home in orange, I find I am using orange alot in my designs and dioramas. What could that mean? I guess I probably have some deep seeded thing about orange...I took the day off today and my "girls" are all over my house. Staged here and there. I have already ripped a "fur" hat apart to make a fur rug and a fur collar and hat for one of them. When I started this adventure, I had no idea Barbie butts were different sizes. Jeans that fit one will not fit the other. I powdered one with baby powder to dress her for her photo shoot. Today has been so much fun. I am loving my new hobby and all my new cyber friends. We will talk again tomorrow.
