The NIN song springs to mind "everyday is exactly the same"
The boots are awesome though!

Sorry you dinged your car! At least you didn't have it happen somewhere along the way -- you made it home.
You know, before your snow is all gone you really should enter the PUDDLE photo contest!! There is a category for any dolls, not just Groove ones.

I'll play catch-up here again soon, but for now:

It looks like none of them quite know what to make of the other, and that made me chuckle.

**TrueFan** Mon Apr 17, 2023 3:38 pm

Oooh, is that an entry for the PUDDLE photo/art contest?

CatDragonStorm Mon Apr 17, 2023 5:55 pm

He does have a very expressive face your soldier doll

I suppose it's a "polar" pic, huh? No real "opposites" though.

Playing catch-up again. I finally got a card reader for my computer.

Pullip clothing, in a random plastic bag,
far from the storage tubs in which the actual
Pullip Dolls are kept. How did this happen?

How does a fancy Integrity Poppy Parker doll
end up in a pile of clutter beneath a garden hose?
I don't know, but the situation offers an apt
illustration of the current state of overwhelming
chaos in which I find myself as of late.

**TrueFan** Tue Apr 18, 2023 3:32 pm

Inaction figures, ha.

Contest photos only have to be polar OR opposite! Not both!

T: "Why is this garden hose even here?"
J: "We used it when we tried to drain the hot water heater."
T: "Oh, right! I remember now! But the outlet valve on the water heater was broken!"
J: "Yeah, so we couldn't drain it... and we didn't put the hose away."
T: "'Cuz we were leaving. That was the last thing we were gonna do before going away for the winter."
J: "So let's put it away now, out in the shed where it belongs."
T: "Where we won't be able to find it the next time we need it."
J: "Errr... yeah."

I can't seem to get caught up, let alone get ahead. It's one thing after another. And then another.

Ernest Hemingway Action Figure

CatDragonStorm Fri Apr 21, 2023 11:25 am

Ernest Hemingway as ab action figure! So obscure but cool. I recently read 'the old man and the sea' it was good, made sharks seem scarier. Overwhelming chaos is a good way to describe life right now, every time I get one bit of clutter uncluttered there seems to be more waiting for me. My girls haven't earned their orange over alls yet!

Get your girls some overalls first. Having appropriate workwear will inspire them to be more productive.

Like f'r instance:

21 April – A Doll A Day 2023:

A neighbor's holiday rental tipi frame fell down as a result of high wind gusts during the summer. Janie and Triv, being reasonably well versed in tipi-raising at this point, took a break from their own maintenance work to help with the rebuild.

davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023 - Page 8 April21a

The tipi poles are tangled together in a mess, like the old pick-up stix game.

davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023 - Page 8 April21b

The wind ripped the metal mounting brackets right out of the deck planks.
Janie uses a socket wrench to remove the bent brackets from the tipi poles.

davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023 - Page 8 April21c

davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023 - Page 8 April21c

Triv and Janie measure and mark the "tripod pole" locations on the deck platform.

I wish I had a good neighbour to help out with stuff AND bring dolls.

We should find a remote island somewhere and build a doll friendly neighbourhood and then we can all split the cost of shipping and build our own community gardens for taking photos and then we would all live in a lovely doll land!

I'm there!

davidd Sat Apr 22, 2023 7:26 pm

I only take the dolls when I'm working by myself. Because I need the help.

Geez.

davidd... we will probably need your Smarts & Crafts crew to help with the building.

Remember, kids: fancy fashion dolls and battery acid don't mix!

Fortunately for me, Janie, who readily admits she can be fashionable if she so chooses, bridles at the merest hint that she might be a fashion doll.
