On my to-do-list today I wrote:

- baking almond cookies (I didn't)

- moving the couch (I did)

- dusting (I didn't)

- vacuum cleaning (I did)

- writing (I didn't, until now when I should be cooking dinner for my starving children)

- researching website building (I did)

- washing the windows (I didn't, but my husband did - sort of)

I should compliment myself that I got half of the things done that I set out to do today. I could have easily gotten all seven of my chores done, since there was no doll making in the planning.

However here is the evidence of what I spent most of my day doing.

Who is this new creature? An angel or a dancer?

Male or female?

As soon as I give them eyes, their soul appears.

Ah, Marie it is.

Giving her a bit more lips.

This is the moment when I have to stop touching her face.

Even though it's not quite done, I will leave her like this while I continue working on her body.
