This week, I am loving my new mary-jane style Doc Martens that I got for 10 dollars at my favourite thrift store. These are shoes that usually sell for around 100 dollars! And of course, I just love Docs.
Also, I am loving my new decision to go out at least twice a month. Lately, my partner and I have been going to goth night at Milkbar on Saturdays and having a lot of fun. Apparently, I'm even starting to be a good dancer which I never would have predicted for myself.
I was contacted out of the blue by a new craft store in Denver asking if I would like to sell my stuff on consignment there! I don't know if it will work out at all yet, but it is still extremely exciting. I feel like I am slowly gaining momentum with my career. I think of where I was a year ago, and I am amazed. My birthday is coming up soon, and I feel like I can face it with equanimity. It is not the getting old that bothers me; I think I'll make an excellent crone. It is the thought of not doing anything. The solution, clearly, is to do things with my life. I may not get out too much compared to other people, but I am making progress.
And lastly, I love the doll I am working on now. She is, as I said before, a fat woman. She is going to be more apple shaped. I have her legs done and I'm working on her torso now. I have most of her butt and the beginning of her belly. We are yet to enter the really difficult territory of rolls. And I must decide if I want to make her breasts separately and attach them or have them be part of her body. I'm thinking I should do them separately if I want them to be truly prodigious, which I do.
