I've ripped the zip out of Dr. Who's trousers.

Well, 2 in. doll zippers aren't that common, so it seemed a pity to throw them out along with the trousers. (I'm *still* sorting and putting stuff back from my bedroom & I'd come across a ziplock bag with my Dr. Who sock doll's extra clothes. His clothes are pretty shabby, but then he's an old doll.)

I got 'round to uploading a few pics- this one will hint at the awkwardness of getting Uglee furniture out of my bedroom.



And this one shows Tommy clinging to my bed as I was stripping the room to paint it. He figured if he pretended to be asleep, I'd leave him be.



I've got the bedroom ceiling painted and repaired 3 vinyl floor tiles & really, the room looks pretty good. The FlistGuestRoom OTOH now has piles. Ah,heaps of my art supplies, recipes/cookbooks, and other books I had stuffed in the Uglee furniture which is now in the living room awaiting bulk trash pickup day. I am thinking I'll throw out the huge box my toilet came in- I was planning to keep it for moving day, but it belatedly occurs to me that a box without a lid isn't much use, is it? Except if you need a really big piece of cardboard. I hate to throw out an *empty* anything, though.

Am feeling tired today, so I'm NOT going to mow, although it needs it desperately. I found a box of tomato plant food, so I'll feed them and maybe I'll drown out the mice in Bernard again-- they are EATING my zinnias, and burrowing underneath Bernard. I have photos.




Currently I'm going through photo reference clippings- I had saved bits from magazines, etc. for many years, back before Internet googling made it a HECK of a lot easier to find a pic of an Osprey if you feel like drawing one. I just can't bring myself to throw things out en masse, so I'm going through them all. And finding some really cute things, like the cartoon below this cut.




I have an Evil Plan which may not work, for turning a pair of elastic waisted baggy pajama trousers into a nightgown. I desperately need a few new nightgowns & don't like PJs anyway. It might work... ok, enough procrastination, been up since 7 and have only put up a few things & fixed a couple of tiles. Even for a lazy day, that's too little activity.

Onward and upward, Excelsior, California Awaits! I have been told there's a pizza place with GF pizza just down the block from blakefancier! EEEEEEE!!! Paradise!

That's a narrow space to get it through. Was the Uglee furniture built in the room?

Aww Tommy boy. He looks so comfortable.

The Uglee furniture was got into that room by me originally. Many years ago, when I was stronger. :^)

A fabric store was moving after 20 years in one location, so they sold three pieces of their furniture to mom for $25 apiece- a matched pair like this one, and a different type with 5 open shelves and one pull drawer. My cousin drove us home in her pickup with me sitting on top of the load, keeping it from falling off.

My new house is gonna have *proper* furniture. :^) And I'm gonna try to have at least Some pieces in each room match.

Tommy loves my bed with its six quilts. :^)

"I've ripped the zip out of Dr. Who's trousers."

Not many conpanions, even, can say that....

*giggle*

You know, I just realized, I went around the world with Dr. Who. We didn't travel in time, though.

You are a woman of ACTION - and what a lovely combination: to begin with ripping a zip off DR .Who´s trousers...hahaha, what an evil inspiration!
Nightgowns are good but now I wear my favourite sleeping outfit: baggy cotton shorts and an XXXL T-shirt. Horrible to look at - but comfortable!

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

All my nightgowns are ugly. :^) The one I just made is exceedingly ugly, but very comfortable.

The mice look cute especially the second very well camouflaged tiny one. I know technically they are pests, but they do look cute!

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

That was my feeling as well. Which is why I used water slowly, to drive them out, rather than meaner methods. I've been going back & shooting water all around Bernard at least once a day since. Eventually, I think they'll move.

Quite an assortment of pictures--fun. Cute little micees and handsome Tommy--did he have to move eventually?

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Yes, Tommy had to move. I kept pushing the quilts together until he was a little island in the middle, and he finally gave up. The room's about 10ft square, I really did have to disassemble the bed and move the bits out for working room.
