sad soccer day

yesterday I had a tereible experience at my daughters' soccer match. both our team and me personally were threatened with physical violence by our opponents and their parents

scary

i mean, i get that there are mean people in the world, but NOT in my world. over a soccer match, anyway.

if they had made the threats that they made on an airplane, they would have been arrested.

i feel a little wounded spiritually over it.

what's up?

I got signed into blogger with no problem tonight, so maybe my problem is "fixed" and I can get back to daily dolls. When the whole computer thing doesn't work, I just get sick of farting around with it and I don't even try to blog.

1. I think Suri Cruise is a little doll.
2. When I read that Jessica Simpson was dating John Mayer, I felt a little ill.
3. But then I saw that he broke up with her, so I felt better.
4. My town just got a little cooler - Starbucks opened yesterday!!!
5. I bought Traci Bautista's book - LOVE it
6. I hate the smell of self tanner.
7. Mona Lisa Smile is on TV
8. Do you remember Julia Stiles in the miniseries The 60's?
9. I bought some new black shoes
10. I want to sew something on the machine, but it's at the studio and I'm at home.

Love ya, miss ya, mean it!

what's up?

fingers crossed

finally

at least for today, it worked

check out scott radke - supa cool

goin' nutty

I CANNOT get blogger to work! The little box at the top where you sign in comes up with one of those "page unavailable" messages at home. It's time to change ISPs.

Still making dolls.

not my life

Been having some computer troubles at home...frustrating!


Something happened Thursday that seemed like I was living somebody else's life. I was sitting in the drivethru at Starbucks, when a magazine editor called me on my cell phone. Things like this don't happen in my plain little life. Five years ago, I had never had Starbucks, I didn't know any magazine editors (or, rather, no magazine editors knew me) and I did not have a cell phone.

Five years ago, September 11 hadn't happened yet.

Innocence.

cute?

Not into this right now

I feel so divorced from this paper doll project lately. I am not making great dolls and, at the time, I don't care. I do care, however, when I post inferior work, as is shown above. The doll of my granny was still on the scanner when I scanned these, so she makes another appearance. School starts in one week and I am glad. Might as well be, right? My girls are ready to go back and get back in the groove of sports, homework and friends. I don't know how parents of kids who hate school get through the transition time. Maybe my work will perk up when I get back into the school routine. Hope so.

Catching up

This, on the left, is the doll from August 2, but I couldn't get it to upload. All the parts except the head and arms are from an Anthropologie catalog. Speaking of cute clothes, have you seen the shirts on randomnicole ? So cute. I think I am going to save my quarters for one. I can't decide which one I like best.

Project Runway was a stinker this week. Why do I always love the bad boys? Last season, I was so in love with Santino's work and everybody hated him, from Nina on down the list. This season, it was Keith -so smug and stuck up and just tearing up that first challenge with the first dress he ever made! Okay, so now who do I like? Maybe that blond girl or Robert? I'll have to get over Keith for a week or 2 before I can like anybody else.

The doll on the right is made from a photo of my Grandma, who would have been 80 yesterday. I used the same photo on one of the ATC's in the Little Pink House project in Cloth Paper Scissors. You can see her in the magazine. I know she is getting a big kick out of that and lording it over sisters that SHE's in a magazine and they're not.

Happy Birthday Whitley

Whit turned 14 today. We got her an ipod. Five years ago she was starting third grade. Five years from now, she will be starting college.

Back

Back home from another great trip to New Mexico's Hummingbird Art Camp. This is the doll I made the day after the teachers trip to Sante Fe. There's a lot I want to say about art camp, but it's too soon and I'm too tired. I need to let the details settle in my brain for a few days. The only thing I can say is that ther are some of the coolest people in the world at that camp.

Tomorrow I will be taking off for a week to go to New Mexico and teach at art camp. No internet acess or even cell phones. I have a connection in San Antonio - I've never been in Texas.

When I get back, we will have two weeks until school starts and I have GOT to get back on schedule sleep wise. I have been sleeping until the late, late hour of 7:00am routinely and that will not work during the school year!

I have a boo-boo on my back, due to an unfortunate accident with a suitcase. I have always heard people complain about thier backs hurting and not paid too much mind to it, but, wow, I have never had this kind of pain. I guess the thing about your spine is that all movement generates from there, so when it hurts, any movement hurts. Last Thursday, it hurt to talk loud. I haven't wanted to do much of anything. Don't want to sit here any longer...

peace,

debbi

The Runway

Project Runway starts again tonight!

Did I tell you I rented Valley of the Dolls? Well, I was so disappointed. The film doesn't follow the book at all. Characters are combined, whole people are left out, and ANNE TURNS DOWN LYON'S PROPOSAL AFTER RETURNING TO LAWRENCEVILLE!

hate that - i was so juiced to see the film after reading the book

I will be traveling by plane soon and I need a good book - any suggestions?
