Five doll bodies awaiting stitching and stuffing.
I think Monday is s and s day. You'll understand all about how the process works when I post on Tuesday. Which will also be Misfits day on account of the holiday which falls on my usual delivery day.
Thanksgiving will be declared chez Boud on Saturday. Just a simple nice day, shared cooking. I'll do my cranberry sauce and some corn and peas. Handsome Son will bring garlic potatoes and probably sliced turkey. There will be cheese and crackers to start, ginger ale to accompany and pie to finish. At least that's the plan.
Sunday I gassed the car, which I hate because of the titanic struggle to reach and pull the release for the gas cap, the lever being right where I can't bend far enough to get my hand in it.
I always have to open the door to see what I'm doing, and struggle about while the attendant keeps asking what I want and I can't hear because my head's under the dash.
Good thing I have high mpg and don't drive much. While I was at it, I returned Cranford and Timothy Snyder to the library in the town where the gas station is. No gas station in my town.
So all's well. Happy day everyone, keep your spirits and resistance all gassed up.
Hahahaha, love that "Make Art" flowchart!
ReplyDeleteNot that you needed a jumpstart!
DeleteOsebold did a great job on that diagram. I look forward to see the dolls! Your Thanksgiving sounds lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's a universal permission slip!
DeleteI can understand the struggle with the gas tank opener button. It's in a really stupid place and why they haven't realized that and changed it is anybody's guess.
ReplyDeleteLove that chart!
It could go near the direction signals or something. Or between front seats. Or in the roof. Anything would be better.
DeleteSounds like you will have a lovely Thanksgiving. I hope all goes as planned!
ReplyDeleteEven if it doesn't, it will be lovely!
DeleteI may be the only non-artist here! I am curious about s and s day. This sounds like a perfect way to celebrate the holiday. I like the shared cooking.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy my holidays now
Deletethe stress is gone. I used to cook great food and I was glad to, but I didn't relax into enjoying until the meal was done! Now I just like all of it.
Stitching and stuffing will reveal the doll construction.
I'm always so happy after I fill up my gas tank.
ReplyDeleteThere's a feeling of safety, especially before the holidays.
DeleteAfter being a staunch supporter of this year's change in Thanksgiving plans for our family, I am now feeling guilty about not hosting a big dinner here. Don't worry. I'll get over it.
ReplyDeleteSee how nice it is not to be the anchor of the event. You'll have a great time.
DeleteAt least they pump it for you where you live. (I think) Winter pumping can be cold and by that I don't men cool.
ReplyDeleteIt's illegal to pump your own gas in NJ. Poor attendants have the cold job.
DeleteWhat a great flowchart!
ReplyDeleteYes, no excuses! Just encouragement.
DeleteThe proto-dolls are so nicely diverse. Looking forward to s&s day. After reading the Izzy instructions, I'm looking forward to the actual transformations.
ReplyDeleteYour Thanksgiving plans sound so nice. We'll have a bit of a hubbub here, but once the turkey is on the table it'll be fun. And everyone else (this year American, Russian, Ukrainian, Nepali and Iraqi) is bringing all the side dishes and dessert.
The flowchart is encouraging to this answerer of 'no...no...no...no...'. I like the end point.

Yes, the chart is all about go on, try it! Judgment free zone.
DeleteYour Thanksgiving sounds very diverse and fun. Happy tday.
Love the make art flow chart. I’m going to show it to my teacher
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect day planned for thanksgiving. Enjoy it
I think your teacher will like the chart. Thank you for the tday wishes.
DeleteI had forgotten about New Jersey’s ban on self-service at gas stations. I LOVE the Osebold flow chart!
ReplyDeleteThe ban was promoted by station owners, I think. Yes, you'd approve the flow chart!
