holiday shopping note
Dec. 14th, 2016 09:40 amI need to find a set of coffee cups for Hannah and Ken, and two small holiday theme cocoa cups for the kids (along with a pound of coffee and some cocoa mix and marshmallows). I want to get them a little something, and Hannah has a pretty motley assortment of random cups-- I joke every time I'm there that I just can't drink my coffee from a cup with Michael Myers picture on it. :) Looking for a nice set of 16 oz cafe style latte cups. That shouldn't be that hard to find, should it?
I asked Hannah, since B and I are going to be there on Xmas eve if the boys could open the presents (picture books) from us then. We could share a cup of cocoa and read the books together on Christmas eve, (so the books don't get lost in the shuffle of lots of presents on Xmas Day, and to have a little quality quiet time with the boys.)
I have no idea what to get for B. he is incredibly hard to shop for, and i never get an enthusiastic repsonse to what I do pick out. (Although he does use the gym bag I got him last year).
Other notes: guy doll patterns purchased: Wally, Sentimental Bloke, Material Guy (large doll 39"), Dude For All Seasons. There are others I could have purchased, but this sample should well be enough to start with! "Guys: Physique and Faces for Cloth Dolls" could become a book project as well as a doll one--but first things, first, I want to make some dolls. Well, someones.
I've had three days this week , M-T-W. where I haven't or won't get home till after 7 pm. No energy left to craft, but freer days are coming up.
Not feeling so good today, throat sore and a bit sinusy, hope i'm not coming down with a cold? Blah.
Later: LOL. never say never enough.....I found a free online pattern by Mimi Winer for a male elf doll, has a nice face and has very detailed instructions for soft sculpting the chest and abs. I think I can use this one!
Uuuugh, ate badly today. M&Ms for snack and then burger & fries for Lunch, put it all together and I've got a food headache (which is a litle bit of a stomachache but with sleepiness, fogginess or headachiness too.) I really don't like burgers, I really don't like Jack's Restaurant, so why did I find myslef over there scarfing lunch? Blech, I need to go back to being a vegetarian. (which is not to say you can't eat meat and be healthy, but personally I know I feel better the less I consume.)
