treeskinNPR is currently interviewing Stan Lee, who is giving good interview, and that makes it a Happy Radio Day.
Have 2 batches of bread going. One is a ciabatta, that's a no-knead recipe which will take 2 days. The other is my basic pan ordinaire, with about 1 1/2 c of leftover oatmeal (cooked old-fashioned oatmeal) stirred in. It's rising like a dream, and I have high hopes (pun intended) for the finished texture and flavor.
Am painting doll parts today. The Miss *really* wants to help. The dye took unevenly on the parts for one doll, so I'm painting the whole thing, not just the head/lower arms/lower legs. On a lark, I painted her torso up as a lavender merry widow. I'll draw the details on with a gel pen once the paint dries.
And all that above means I should have 4 dolls' worth of parts ready for their faces and assembly by the weekend. That puts me past halfway to my goal for the dolls for Yule gifts, and I need to start cranking on their dresses.
