And so it begins...

Totally unrelated to my last rant. I just talked to Bing's mom on Gtalk and it was awesome. We talked about my newest family member, a My Twinn doll Helento be exact (but her name will change!) They are amazing, the faces, how they are made and that they can stand alone. It is the new passion of Bing's mom, sister, and niece. You can get them to look like you by sending in a picture, but I got one of the pre-made ones, Helen. I tried to find one that looked as close to me as a little girl as possible, I will find a pic as a kid and let you decide. It is a little stretch since the blond is a bit darker, but still mostly there. I am excited because I am going to knit (I almost said TRY to knit) some clothes for her and for her cousins in Bing's family. The faces are really remarkable in person and I love dolls. Most of all though I love the idea of learning to sew as well. Bing's mother is an amazing sewer and has an incredible assortment of high end sewing machines and knows how to make things that shock and awe.

So I get to do this with them. I love that. I miss my own family and I don't want them to think I am just using them as a surrogate family. It is nice how close they are and they all live around here and they are so warm and inviting. It is really nice to have women that I can eventually get together with and share something creative with. I miss being creative and I miss having that social sharing with women. My friends have moved a distance away or I have, or we have drifted. I find this is unusual for me not to have a main friend to go to and share, and not that I am figuring they will be, but you never know, and also it is just fun to enjoy what is for what it is.

Who doesn't love dressing up dolls and playing with their hair and clothes?? ;)
