Fairy Grandmother

I had a clever title but I cannot remember what it was. Yesterday was a day of not feeling well culminating in get rid of the contents of my stomach several times through out the afternoon and evening. I still can't seem to shake this cough that has settled in my lungs and back of my throat. It is probably one of three things, allergies, a bug I picked up over the weekend (only reason I think that is because Wendy was sick Saturday and Sunday with an awful cough), or it is a reaction to the dust and fumes I encountered at the Compleat Sculptor while making the doll.

Speaking of which, here she is

I call her the Fairy Grandmother and this shot really doesn't do her justice but you can at least see what I made over the weekend. This one is leaps and bounds above the one I made 2 years ago. Muchly isn't in the same species so it is hard to compare but I know that the Fairy Grandmother is an improvement on last year. There were some catch phrases that come out of these sorts of classes and one of this year's was "Matron Boobies" and how to make them. That, "Shtumpy" and Toby asking if anyone needed their bits examined (doll parts that is.)

So today I need to start on a couple of projects if I am feeling up for it. The cough and tickle at the back of my throat is still there. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of hot tea in my future today.

I am grateful for the few things I did get done yesterday including baking cupcakes for my bowling team (We took 8 out of 11 last night)

She is beautiful.

Congrats on your bowling success last night. Sounds like fun.

Thank you.

Bowling is fun. I get to spend a couple of hours socializing with a bunch of other women which is nice change from just being round the house.

I've always been such a terrible bowler! I try to avoid it simply because I'm so bad...but I do enjoy watching others play.

Wow, that is really great. What are you going to do with her? And what kind of cupcakes...?

She's a keeper. Any doll I make in that class (I'm up to 3 now) are keepers since Wendy demostrates how to do things on your doll so you have bits of Froud magic included. So she gets a place with the other two.

I made yellow and chocolate cupcakes. I made the batter from scratch but the frosting was store bought since I didn't have time to bake and make frosting. Everyone enjoyed them so I think they turned out well.

Wow! Fairy Grandmother is very impressive! Well done! :)
Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you.

I had a lot of fun making her.

I think I am getting better.

Lovely! What an expressive face. And so shiny!

Hope you feel better.

I think this is my best one yet.

I still need to finish the first one (ya know the one from 3 years ago *sheepish look*)

I am hoping that I will soon. Whatever this is it is kicking my kister hard.

Hey, I finally finished mine nearly two years after I started her! Now I need to make more.
