I finished two more VooDoo Dolls. Although my ultimate goal is to make 200 for some sort of art installation, I made these two specifically for a couple of friends because they will be providing a place for me to crash next week during my vacation. Whoo! Vacation!

Sad. Sad, sad, sad...
I had a great weekend.
I finished my most recent semester at work, picked cherries with my family, visited my ailing grandmother (who, for once, was doing great), played with my little cousin (who is not quite so little any more), and saw three great friends.
Still, right at this moment, I am irrationally sad.

Hey girl! Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope your spirits're a little higher.

Is it because the weekend's over? I get that way, sometimes. After a great time, I get a little sad because I know that even the happiest moments are fleeting.
That's when I usually fix myself a snack.

I finally finished my newest VooDoo Doll. It has been sitting on the chair - naked and without eyes - for months. I felt horrible, but I wasn't sure what I was going to do about the clothing until today.
I posted pictures of all of the dolls. The orange one is the newest.

Nice doll. However, I have a question: Isn't a VooDoo doll created for the purpose of being stuck by pins by an angry/jealous owner? So, really, is being naked and eyeless really that bad when one considers the expected, inevitable life your average VooDoo doll will live?
P.S. Do I get extra-special, super-duper, multitudinous gold-star-equivalent, bonus points from a lit prof for referencing Proust in my journal? No? What if I helped erase the chalk-board after class?

You raise a good point, but I can't bear to see anyone forced to remain naked... even an anthropomorphized doll of my own creation.
I give out extra credit like it is candy. My candy, on the other hand, I hoard like I'm building a fallout shelter for Y2K.

My Voodoo Dolls
Girl Scout cookies are in.
I no longer eat Girl Scout Cookies. I lost a taste for them since spending time as a "cookie whore" in my youth.....
At least I didn't have to sell Tom Watt like the Boy Scouts.

My knowledge of the Boy Scouts is lacking, but selling Tom Watt? And doesn't every little girl dream of one day becoming a cookie whore?

When my brother was a Boy Scout, he had to sell things from Tom Wat (sorry, I misspelled it earlier). At the time Tom Wat mostly offered household objects (picture frames, candle holders, coin counters, holiday wrapping paper, some pet items). The best thing about my brother selling Tom Wat was that he got this briefcase full of samples that came with the catalog. The samples had to be returned, but I used to love going through the briefcase. I would marvel at the crap that he managed to sell.
Tom Wat has since been replaced with some other fundraiser, but the company still exists. Here's a link to their website: Tom Wat
