At the End of the Day
Posted By Kathleen David on March 30, 2007
This has been one of those long days and it ain’t over yet. I still have a couple of things to do before I sleep.
I got up early and hopped on a train to Manhattan then a subway up to where David’s funeral was. I am very glad that I went. It was nice seeing a lot of people I hadn’t seen in a while and meeting a couple of people who I had never really “met” before. We laughed and cried and held each other. It helped a lot.
After that I toddled down town for the first day of the Wendy Froud doll-making class. It was fun seeing a lot of people I have taken this class from before. I was complimented by Wendy for my increasing sculpting skills. I learned a bunch of detailed stuff that would not make sense if I hadn’t gotten the basics down. I actually did what I said I was going to do and made a female figure. I am happy with the way it turned out so far. Tomorrow is feet, hands, and body. I need to pack my material for the body and tomorrow night I think I will dig out the materials I have set aside for a doll.
Tonight is about finishing up some paper dolls and getting them in the mail for tomorrow.
I am grateful that I could go to David’s funeral.
I hope you’ll be posting pictures of female figure when it’s finished!
And, just as this is the only blog where phrases like “I am glad I got the eyeballs finished” can pass without anyone getting nervous, this has also got to be close to the only time anyone has posted a sentence like Karen’s and NOT meant what most such posts would mean. 🙂

And until you mentioned it I had no idea what I said. Would you say I’m oblivious or just naive?
Now the healing can begin.
The classes sound like so much fun! I have some sewing today, but it’s only altering Brooke’s Winter school uniform tunics for next term. I just want to get them our of the way before next weekend as School/Uni holidays start on Thursday, and I’ll have a house full for a week or 2. Lex is coming home for the Easter Break, so all my little chickens will be home. 🙂

Karen — I’d say neither, just focused on what you actually MEANT. It’s hardly your fault that other people are going to have warped brains go along different paths!
