Wednesday

Someone recently asked me what I do in my spare time ... which is one of the most annoying questions of all time. ... it's right up there with: 

a. what are your hobbies? 

b. describe your perfect day

c. how many kids do you want to have? -- 

                                                  

all to which I internally roll my eyes and say:

a. breathing, showering on occasion and keeping Julia fat and happy

b. no

c. well, I forgot my crystal ball in the car but I would say around one milllllion. really.

Anyway...to this person I would say...oh...my spare time? Just little projects like this:

Yes...I made Julia the most imperfect with no attention to detail dress that (for the time being) will have to settle for the unexciting role of Raggedy Ann's jumper as I did not take Julia's larger than average head into account and the dress will simply not fit...quite yet. I have a meeting set up with a potential zipper tomorrow..we'll see if it helps.

Also...I made the too tight skirt/leg warmer somewhat easily (that is not fully pictured because the pouring of my upper thighs into the ugly did not a pretty picture make) anddd finally the shirt...repurposed from being a size XXXL to a size suitable for grace. (and I'm just going to assume that you recognize Julia's sweatpants)

and...Julia's recent spare time fillers...

Playing with her ten newly discovered toys in the form of....bebe toes

and

reading a new book (averaging more than one sentence per page) to her favorite and captive (even if by force...bottom right photo) audience

ah...and she was a dutiful little model today and politely asked that I fashion her frock in the style of a maxi dress (looooong)

modest is hottest

and off I trot to make a delicious dinner that Simon will certainly rave about...without a doubt. . .

no rest for the weary

spare time shmare time.
