She is a boudoir doll with a unique dress, the skirt is constructed out of safety pins. I was wondering why so heavy? When I picked her up. At first I thought she is homemade but she is manufactured, Hong Kong to exact.Monday, February 16, 2009
Yellow Saftey Pin Dress
A little over a month ago I published a post on Bradley Dolls. They are a collection I allow Madame to have and to be all her own. Here is the newest addition, I don't believe she is a Bradley doll though.

A New Tool!
What.....is this!?! A new tool, like a tractor to a husband, a video game to a teenager, I have a new tool, a new play thing....kinda, sorta.....
I'm not quite sure I'll need this fancy cover, no sir-ree Bob. Nothing cardboard near my melting pot, I'll live with the glue skimming.
The directions to my melting pot states it's easier than a glue gun because it keeps your hands free, the heat won't blacken the glue, and it's good for flower stems and pinecones. This is what I saw after the first five minutes, I added more glue.
It also promotes the idea that more than one crafter can use it at one time.....another five minutes and more glue.

Love Hearts
What's better for sweetheart's day than a good Love Heart? Getting one from a secret admirer, or a flamboyant crush, it doesn't matter, Valentines day wouldn't be the same with out them. See more Valentine pink at Beverly's.
Wikipedia defines Love Hearts as a confectionery manufactured by Swizzels Matlow in the United Kingdom. A hard fizzy tablet like sweet in a variety of fruit flavors featuring a love related message on one side. Ah...I remember them well.....
They make me drool! Which one is your favorite and which message would you prefer?

More Majorettes
Another activity filled weekend, hopefully sooome...thing gets done before baseball starts. Madame had another unsanctioned competition last Saturday, we sat for 4 and a half hours.
But her team took first, beating an older team. The older team has the "leader of our pack's" daughter on it. The "leader" was Madame's first coach and has worked very, very hard to expand our Majorettes. 12 teams preformed, of different groups, but from the general area.
I like how the camera picked up on the movement, kind of neat. The first picture is of a horizontal (over their heads) to the person behind them, they got it! It's a junior high skill.
Here's Madame is at intermission, practicing strut, or the march in a square to a beat of 8 count.
Starting strut.......

Ending strut. She took runner-up, she was unhappy about it. Glare down those judges!!!

This was Madame's first solo. She wanted to do it. The judges look for fluid, smooth transition twirling from one hand to another, tosses and wraps (neck wrap, wrist wrap, thumb wrap). Madame didn't do so well on her tosses, I'm told she is extremely fast and therefore needs a heavier baton. She nailed all the wraps and transitions. And even for forgetting 1/3 of her performance, she still came in third, yeh! She placed! I was happy for her! She can improvise well.
