We're in a nice warm weather streak. It was actually nice sitting outside (in a hoodie though still) painting my nails out on the deck. It's supposed to be nearly 70 today, but lack of sun and a cool breeze makes it feel much less warm than it otherwise would be. A little disappointing, but hey, it's February, and who can complain when you can have your windows open? :D Even at night!! This will continue through the upcoming week. This is what I love about February in KY. Although I heard the last couple of winters were bad while I was in UT. Seems like my luck of good weather continues here!
I am really happy to be feeling better FINALLY. My long stretch of ills seems to be over. It feels really good to get back to sewing. I finished up 2 projects last week. I am on the verge of finishing a couple of others. I've sold 2 LDD dresses on Etsy (yay!!) and have one almost half finished.
I paid off my Doll Chateau Hugh layaway Thursday. I'm so excited to finally have him home! I got my tracking number yesterday, but it hasn't updated yet. :/ Yep, impatience has already set in! I should have him Monday. I have no idea what I will do with him. Hopefully his character will come together much quicker than my JID Owen, who I still have no idea what to do with. I am not going to sell him though. Nope. It will have to be a serious reason to sell a doll off at this point.
Remember back when I posted 2017 will be a good year for AG? I actually posted that. I did. And I was excited too. Fast forward to however many weeks later, and I am totally retracted that idiotic post. 2017 will be the year I completely quit buying from AG. And no, not because my interest in the dolls has changed, or that I want to clean out my dolls to make room for other things. It's because the company has gone bat shit crazy with the new changes, and I just don't want sewn on undies and squishy vinyl. It's like watching the demise of something that used to be wonderful, and its definitely painful. I'm in a panic to try and get dolls that I have to have before it is too late. Which is a most unpleasant feeling. I need a MaryEllen, a #26 or 2 at least. My strongest dread is the inevitable spike upwards that the secondary market will take. It's bad enough as is. I cannot believe the price people try to get out of damaged dolls any more. I remember a time when buying off of eBay often landed you with deals. Imagine the insanity when the old dolls are even more valuable. I shouldn't get too ahead of myself, but it just sucks to see the end of something you have loved for so long.
Another subject jump, just because this is one of those "I really don't have too much to blog about, but I am going to do it any way" posts. I'll be heading to the flea markets later on. I have more Lalaloopsy blogging to do, and maybe I'll find another rescue dolly to the mix before I do it. I'd love to find another vintage pony that is reasonably priced. The thrill of finding vintage ponies is intoxicating! Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky!!
