I have gotten to Step 14 (of 20) for Jack's coat and these directions don't make any sense and I have spent an hour threatening to throw this thing in the river and start over with new fabric and a less confusing turning method.

So I took a break to open some Dolly Mail. I bought a Gwen outfit for my JLY12, Wendy. The underwear isn't Gwen's, but that's okay. I can track it down later if I'm so inclined. I'll change Wendy into it tomorrow for better photos but look how pretty this dress is!

In Which We Watch The Trackers

A good bit of Dolly Mail is due to arrive this week.

An Our Generation doll from Mercari, shipping via UPS. This should be the last girl doll I need for my craft fair models. (I'm planning to get an OG boy too, but probably locally when I get the Target baby dolls.)

Kirsten's quilt and a second mini quilt kit for the other Sari, shipping via USPS. I might use the included thread but I'm considering a darker pink from my own collection for this one so the quilting is more visible.

A doll and doll pets order from American Girl, shipping via FedEx. Youngest got a Camille for Christmas and wanted a boy doll the same size to go with her, and Bryant just happens to be on sale on the AG website right now so I got him for her, as well as Lila's corgi Mae, also on sale . Middle wanted Bennet for Molly, and I grabbed a couple books that were on sale and another Little Bitty Baby for craft fairs. That baby is back-ordered for a few weeks so it will only be Bryant, the dogs, and the books in this package.

All are due on 1/2 or 1/3, so I'm watching all the trackers to see what gets here first.

This week, a new study has been published revealing that millenials aren't having nearly as much sex as their parents, the baby boomers. They're too busy instagramming their lunches or finding ways to...

I wrote an essay about failing to channel Joni Mitchell at the farmer’s market whilst in an absurd and unmemorable fight with my husband. You can read it above (2nd essay down) ! ! ! 

I highly recommend subscribing to the Dolly Mail, it’s a beautiful literary gift in your inbox each week.
