lesmisloonyI have a headless Little Jack lying over there on the table next to Little Ten. Unlike the other two, Little Jack is not undressable. (Ironic, isn't it?) Because that would take too much time I don't have. I still have to finish that stupid prayer shawl.
Ugh, the prayer shawl. It's been so long since I used a pattern and needles other than my trusty dpn's! I kind of hate it now. But good-naturedly hate it, like the way I hate... um... oh gosh it's so late. Um, the way I hate my brother. Yeah, that.
Anyway, I thought I'd screwed Little Jack up right away and almost took him apart, but with some creative stitching he came out all right. And, considering he only lacks a head and a big swishy jacket, I'm pretty sure he'll be done by tomorrow. Which is super exciting, cos I only started him today and he's a big doll, the same size as Little Ten. (Big meaning about as long as my foot, whereas the presents I made for most of my friends and family were more like the size of my hand, like Old Gregg and the Hitcher.) After Little Jack gets his head and coat, all I gotta do is finish the stupid prayer shawl (I think one more skein oughtta do it, but I hafta go back to Michael's and get one) and add tassels to the tree skirt I made for my parents back in spring. And then wrap everything!
And then, right after Christmas, I gotta get back on the presents for friends. All I'll have finished is family stuff and the doll for Stacyfacy. Because we'll be getting together on Christmas to watch the Christmas Special. Duh. And then she shall receive Little Jack. And Little Jack, Little Ten, Little Rose, and Big Loony and Big Stacyfacy shall all have fangasms together.
And it shall be good. Presumably.
