I'm having a hard time getting anything done lately.
Christmas was chaos. Then the Giant Husband was on holidays which was great but he always wants to be doing something which left me with no time or energy for my stuff.
On top of which I've been a bit off. Not ill as such. I've developed a weird sensitivity to sunlight. We don't open our curtains ever because otherwise I burn. I wear sunscreen whenever I remember but I still burn. And when I burn I come out in a horrible, hivey, blistery rash on the burn. And when I have the rash I feel awful. Tired and sluggish and headachey and everything achey and cranky and just not good. That's what I've been like for most of the last six weeks. Meanwhile the Giant Baby has been a turbo-charged ball of fury because he doesn't like being hot and it's been quite a warm Summer so far. Consequently Summer is quickly going from being my favourite time of year to a big pain in the neck.
Meanwhile all the stuff I'm trying to do has problems. Whenever I pause a project, for some reason I lose confidence and have trouble getting back into it. At the moment I'm trying to bully myself into finishing Not-Glinda's dress but so far haven't quite finished.
The Baby So Beautiful dolls are having issues. The broken one has a wig now. She needs clothes. I have no idea what to make her. Every idea I come up with, I discard twenty minutes later because I hate it.
The one that just needed her hair restyled is currently bald. I tried to curl her wig without getting her head wet. They have a hole under the wig in the back of the head. I didn't want water getting in there and damaging her eyes. But it meant her curls ended up sticking out on a weird angle. I couldn't get them to sit right. So, I've taken her wig off to try again but haven't done it yet.
I got an Iplehouse doll for Christmas. I chose one of the kid size ones the assumption that she'd wear the same size wigs and shoes and possibly clothes as my 14" Kish dolls and my Dollmore Zihu. I ordered eyes the size the website said to order, unquestioningly. Paige's page says eye size 8-10mm. I ordered size 8 which turns out to be way too small so currently I'm waiting for new eyes for her.
I have so many plans for this year. Things I want to make things I want to do. Getting time always seems to be an issue so I've decided to make a rule that every night once the Giant Baby is in bed and we've packed away his toys, I get to (or have to depending on my mood) spend the next hour doing my stuff. Haven't started that yet, only came up with it this morning, but hopefully it means I'll get more stuff done. I'm going to try to make a post in the next few days outlining the stuff I want to get done, or at least the stuff I want to prioritise because it seems I want to do EVERYTHING.
