Nothing Much Going On Around Here.

I sewed Anise this little shirt today. I didn't have an easy time of it, but that was just because I was an idiot and didn't pay attention to what I was doing ^_^;....I was cutting notches in the collar so I could flip it over, and I accidentally cut a small hole in the front of the shirt. I was planning on sewing a ribbon there all along, but jeez! I haven't made pants for her yet. In that picture, she's wearing mint green bloomers ^___^;;....

With the exception of the cute red fleece coat I bought from Aimee, I've never bought my SDs a commercial outfit. I've told them that if they want more siblings, they're going to have to deal with me making all their clothes. My sewing skills can be considered intermediate at best, but I'm willing to work hard to improve ^_^! My dolls are just going to have to bear with me! I've been pretty bad with money lately. Since I've been spoiled by Volks eyes and wigs and can't settle for anything less I'm going to have to cut something out, right?

Speaking of which, I've always wondered what it would be like to be an only child. I have three siblings, and growing up there always seemed to be some kind of fuss going around in our house. Still, it was pretty lucky that my parents had two boys and two girls! Kristen and I are twins, and we've always stuck together and shared everything. My brothers did the same thing, but to an extent because they're five years apart. Mom and Dad usually treated them separately, and for all intents and purposes they were separate agents. There isn't any point to this rambling. I just.....wonder what it would be like to not have siblings. Of my extended family, my household was the only one with more than one child and both parents living together. I'm not saying that we were more happy or unhappy than my cousins. They just seemed...alien to me sometimes, because my cousin on my father's side (a girl) was the "baby" of that side of the family, and my cousin on my mother's side (a boy) was the "baby" of that side. They always stood out, while my family kind of shrank into the background. Compared to my cousins, my siblings and I were like mice! It's just....odd symmetry. I don't know if I will ever have children, but if I do I think that I'd like to have several. Being a middle child, I have felt like I "wasn't there" quite often while I was growing up, but maybe it was a valuable life lesson. Fuuu.....

The desire to buy Michael has lessened a little bit today, but every couple of hours my stomach twists up ^_^;;....I don't think I've ever wanted a doll this badly before, but that could have something to do with the fact that he's limited edition, MALE and costs more than any SD I've ever bought. Oh well. If he's still there in two months, I might do it, but other than that I'm just going to have to suck it up. I've been sounding like a real brat lately, haven't I ^_^? Sorry, everyone!
