Hit Reset!

I hope no one is doing Keto or has to eat gluten-free breads, because this week brought another one of these, this time with caraway seeds. It's a reset because...well, the bread gets eaten up.

I made another loaf of the Dutch-oven bread to have with a French lentil soup I made with the last of the celery root. 

I neglected to mention last week that I had ordered a Paul for my stories. This one has been having some adventures. Originally, UPS gave me a delivery window of last Monday before 7:00 PM. I thought that was awfully quick, but I signed up to get updates. When time passed with no updates, and then Monday passed with the same delivery window on the UPS tracking page, I tried to get in touch with UPS. They said they hadn't received the package yet. I started to worry that the package had fallen behind something after clearing Customs in La Mirada on Saturday just after lunchtime, and poor Paul was in his box, in the dark under a table or something. I contacted the vendor, who contacted Landmark (original shipper), and by some miracle, the package started moving again, still in La Mirada. It seems to have taken a day and a half for someone to walk it across the hall! The new delivery window was changed on the UPS site to Friday before 7:00 PM. It didn't really matter to me when Paul arrived, but I had ordered a bathing suit for Daphne's Laura, and I wanted to include it in the package with the doll. I needed to send it off soon to get there in time for her birthday. The next thing I heard was my package was in Los Angeles, getting a new label and apparently (as I later learned) boarding a train. This train had some kind of mechanical failure on Thursday. (Which I now refer to as "The Great Train Doll Holdup," which might be a little misleading, but sounds entertaining, at least.) Paul arrived in Portland on Friday, but too late to get to Bend in time to be delivered before the weekend. As I write this, I have a new window, today, Monday, May 2, before 7:00 PM. We'll see. At any rate, I have no doubt that Paul will reach me eventually. If I have to send the package off before he (and the bathing suit for Laura) get here, I'll just have to mail the bathing suit separately. I had to hit reset! (In case you've forgotten what Paul looks like, here's his stock photo.)

Laura came out of her box, so I could wash her hair and get her to model her new clothes. I don't have a Laura, and it's nice to see the clothes on the actual doll. The hair was very dry and stiff, but I used some human shampoo, followed by a human conditioner. (That's a term that conjures up questions in my mind...can humans really be conditioned?) The hair came out soft and manageable. Here she is with her clean hair and her jammies, which I finished on Tuesday.

Because of my flu a few weeks ago, I was behind on my knitting. Jolena had an extra sweater, so I gave it to Laura. Here she is with a purchased T-shirt and the jeans leggings I made for her last week. The hat is the one that she was wearing in her box. It needed pressing, though, as did the skirt she was wearing.

Here she is wearing the leopard-pattern leggings with another purchased top. The shoes came from Maplelea in Canada. 

I was not entirely thrilled with the impression she would make in her original outfit, although the clothing items are serviceable, so I decided to make her a dress to wear in her box during her trip to Wisconsin.

I picked out some quilting cotton that I thought looked nice with her sweater. The pattern was Simplicity 1484. I used the pieces for the blouse View E, left off the sleeves and ruffle and added a skirt (improvised). The lace leggings are from the same pattern.

She was supposed to be on her way to Wisconsin right now, but I had to hit reset again.

Boys need ball caps, I think. Otherwise boy dolls look a lot like girl dolls dressed in boys' clothing, so I used the pattern I had used to make caps for Billy and Emil, reduced the size to 80%, added back a smidge to get the seam allowance back to 1/4" and made this for Zachary's Paul. I had to take out Pippa's ponytails to get the hat on her head, but it fits. There's a dark blue button on top. Maybe my Paul will get here in time to model. Maybe for next week's post.

If you read last week's post, you may remember I was making a turtleneck for Zachary's Paul, using the smaller version of my knitted turtleneck pattern. I can usually finish one of these in less than a day, even with doing other things, but I was doing a lot of other things AND trying to locate my Paul, but it's almost done. There was no rush, because I knew I was waiting for the bathing suit anyway before I could send it.

Saturday we went into town to a coffee shop for a meeting with our favorite candidate, Jamie McLeod-Skinner. One of the first things we did when we moved to Bend was attend a debate watch party at the library (pre-pandemics, remember), meet some new people and watch her debate Greg Walden, who was then our Congressman and was running for reelection. The district we were in, District 2, was heavily Republican, so she had an uphill battle. We were very impressed with how she performed in the debate. Later we went to see her in person, at an event that was a presentation of a number of local candidates. We decided we really wanted her to represent us, but she lost. However, she got more votes than her party had ever received in that district by a lot, and against an incumbent. She went on to run for Secretary of State, but was defeated again by a candidate from Portland. Good experience, however. Since then we've had redistricting, and we're now in District 5. Half of the District is made up of new people, but she is again running against an incumbent, one with support from the national party, in spite of being the only "no" vote on many things the party wanted to pass, such as allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, something that means a lot to older people like us. Jamie has the support of the local party in four of the five counties in District 5, as well as the endorsement of many organizations we find ourselves aligned with. She has done a lot of good by helping people in the rural area where she lives arrange for housing after their homes were destroyed by fires. She's brilliant but at the same time down-to-earth. She knows what people in rural areas need, and there is a lot of that in our new District. She has had to hit reset many times, but she doesn't give up.

We had an opportunity to get another shot with the candidate and her wife (yes, her wife). We picked up a yard sign and gave her a donation. The Backporch Coffee Roasters had great coffee, too.

When we arrived home after the event, we found this on our front door. If you have a primary coming up soon, check out the candidates and then vote! Everything you need is right here.

Yesterday, Sunday, was May 1st, and that means it was Dusty's birthday. This photo was from several years ago, when we still lived in Utah, but it's a favorite. Both dogs are much grayer now. Dusty, because he's supposed to be silver, and Rocky because he's very old. Dusty is now 6!

Dogs grow old so quickly. If you have one of these furry creatures, be sure to give him or her all the love you have. You won't be sorry!

If you have a few minutes and are willing, please go to Amazon and B&N and search for "Emil: Stories from The Doll's Storybook by Peggy Stuart" in Children's. Every click on the page for the book makes it more likely they will keep a good supply in their warehouse and stores. If you are outside the US, you may have a separate website for these retailers. If you have a copy of our first book, Mariah: Stories from The Doll's Storybook, it would help if you left an honest review on the websites, especially if you bought from them.

What's in my wine glass: Radford Dale Syrah, 2014. I haven't tasted it yet, but I'm going to do that right now.

What's my tip of the week: Some salad greens can be tossed into soups and pasta dishes. We get Josie's Organics Spring Mix baby lettuces & baby greens in a 1 lb. box from Costco. Well, that's a LOT of salad greens for two people, especially since we like to add lots of other stuff to our salad: green onions, avocado, tomatoes, sweet peppers, mushrooms, cucumbers, etc.! Fortunately, I found this on the inside of the lid.

I've been tossing the greens into soups in the last half-hour of cooking. I've picked out the baby spinach and used it on pizza. I haven't tried the other suggestions, but I will. It's great to have it for salad, but it's nice that it doesn't go to waste, because I can use it in other ways.

Back to the Doll Clothes Factory!

I finally have my energy back and was able to get back to working on the doll clothes for the Wisconsin grandkids. I finished the pajamas I had made for Zachary's Paul. The sleeves were too long, even rolled up, so I took off the cuffs and hemmed the sleeves. Then all I needed to do was add buttons. I used the pants from this pattern, Pippa's Bedtime. The top came from my Checkered Shirt Pattern for Happy Kidz, but printed at 80%. I had to enlarge the seam allowances back to 1/4", of course, because 80% of 1/4" isn't nearly big enough for me. I left off the collar, just to simplify it.

Then I made a shirt and trousers for paul. As for the pajama top, I used the Checkered Shirt pattern again, but with the collar this time. The trousers are from the Liberty Jane Boot Cut Jeans pattern with the substitution of my special back piece, which makes it work for Happy Kidz. Again, to make it fit Little Kidz Pippa and Paul, I had to print the pattern at 80% and then enlarge the seam allowances back to 1/4". 

Here's my special back piece, which I use in place of the original pattern's back. (I also don't put the pockets on, but you certainly could. I would make them a little smaller, though.) I print this at 100% for Happy Kidz, then check to make sure the 1" box is accurate.

I need to make a new pattern piece for the Little Kidz, because this one needs editing to work for them.

In the interest of saving time, I purchased some T-shirts from a shop on Etsy. One will go to Zachary's Paul. These are nicer than I could make, because they were made using a serger.

This will give you an idea of how it will look on Paul.

Pippa is holding up the front of the T-shirt, so you can see the faux fly on the pants.

Here's a look at the front pockets. They are surprisingly easy to make.

Please excuse Pippa's naked top. She's modeling Paul's swim trunks. I used a cotton batik fabric and the pajama pants pattern (see above), but cut off.

I also made two pairs of leggings for Daphne's doll.

I hope to get Daphne's doll out, wash her hair and get her to model her new outfits. I do have to get the whole thing mailed off this week, though.

I cast on the Pippa's Wonderland Turtle for Paul. It knits up very quickly.

I have some pieces I had finished already, extra, which I'll include for the new dolls. I have the pajamas for Daphne's new doll cut out and ready to sew, so you will see that next week. I also expect a special surprise this week.

During the week, I made enchilada casserole and Spanish rice, which I served with refried beans. So we don't have to eat the same thing for the next four days, I made TV dinners. I have the makings for lasagne, and plan to do the same thing with the leftovers.

The Facebook page for The Doll's Storybook has been becoming more and more annoying. Somehow it got set up as a business, which it isn't. Facebook keeps using it as the default, making it necessary for me to log out in order to get to my own personal page.

If I go there to answer a comment, I can't get back to answering the comments on my personal account. It's an incredible waste of time, except that it has been a place for me to post links to the stories. It really activates my ADD! So...I've decided to delete the account. Since many people who are not my personal friends on Facebook follow the account, I'm giving them two weeks to find and friend me. I will also provide links to the Instagram and Pinterest accounts. Several people have suggested making a group page instead, which I could do. I just don't want to get involved in another rabbit hole. We'll see. Maybe someone will volunteer to help moderate.

In the meantime, I want to get started on the next book, and of course, there are the weekly stories to write and photograph.

Speaking of my books, If you have a few minutes and are willing, please go to Amazon and B&N and search for "Emil: Stories from The Doll's Storybook by Peggy Stuart" in Children's.

What's on my needles: Still the Hinterland pullover, with a few rows finished this week. No progress on the emPower Kerchief, but now I'm working on the Turtleneck for Paul, too. Everything is some shade of very dark blue!

What's on my loom: Still the trailer rugs, no progress this week, but the loom looks pretty in its corner by the windows.

What's on my sewing machine: Doll clothes, now the pajamas for Daphne's doll.

What's in my hoop: Still the whole cloth quilt, no progress.

What's in The Doll's Storybook: Disappointment. Pippa wonders why other dolls don't just give up when they fail at something. She learns about the value of failure and how it adds to your success...if you don't give up.

What's on my iPad/iPhone: Still listening to The Woman Who Smashed Codes by Jason Fagone on the Audible app. 

What's in my wine glass: Gozar! Red Berryessa Gap, Yolo County, California. Nice. More tangy than bitter, but still very pleasant.

What's my tip of the week: Charlie bought me some cooking spray at Costco, and, of course, it comes in spray cans the size of wine bottles. Not having the necessary strength in my thumb to hold onto the slick can and still spray while using my other hand to hold the pan vertical to receive the spray, I decided to add some rubberized shelf liner to give me a good grip on the can. (I use this stuff to help me open jars, too.) Since I was going to need it every time, I just put a couple of rubber bands around the can to hold the shelf liner on, so it's always ready.

Performances

Not much crafting happened this week, although I did knit a few rows on my pullover, but it doesn't look much different. Here's what I did instead.

Monday I spent most of the day writing Friday's story. (See The Doll's Storybook, below.) I also fed my sourdough starter and baked some bread, sour rye with caraway seeds. You can see from the two jars of recently fed starter, they are still performing well.

Tuesday we went to get our second booster shots, since we were both recovered enough from the flu we had, and we were about already three months overdue, because our initial shots had been so early. We were able to walk to the recreation center, where the clinic was taking place. (It was just as fast as taking the car, because we could get to it on the trail.) We had to wait in line for about 45 minutes to get our shots.

After the required 15-minute waiting period to make sure we weren't going to have a problem with the vaccine, we walked home. Neither one of us had any side effects other than a sore arm. Mine lasted barely 24 hours and wasn't all that sore. I wondered if it was because we still had some immunity from the previous shots.

Shortly after we got home, we had our biweekly online meeting with fans of Madroña Vineyards and the owners. Needless to say, a lot of wine was drunk.

Wednesday I took the photos for the story, all except for the ones where Mariah was wearing her judges robes, which I took the next day. That night, we had choir practice with a lot to prepare for the big weekend.

Thursday, Dusty went to the groomer. The appointment didn't start until 3:00 PM, so I knew he wouldn't be ready until about 6:00, so I arranged to have a ride to church, so DH would have the car to pick Dusty up. (Our call time was 6:00 PM.) Our anthem is here, at 52.11, if you want to listen. (I'm hiding behind the flowers on the altar the whole time. 😆 You can admire the beautiful church, though.)

We didn't sing for Good Friday, but Saturday night we had the Great Easter Vigil, which is a very long service to usher in Easter. To listen to our anthem from the Easter Vigil, go to 1:43 here. (You can see me this time. I'm the little one in the front row.)

We weren't done. We still had two services Easter morning.

Daphne had a performance Wednesday. Here she is with a friend, one of her fellow dancers.

There were some good comments on the performance.

Of course, Zachary is dancing too. I think this photo was from his last competition. I think he looks great! (He's the one on the left.)

What's on my needles: Still the emPower Kerchief and the Hinterland Pullover, not much progress.

What's on my loom: No progress this week.

What's on my sewing machine: Doll clothes. No actual sewing, but the pattern pieces for several items are set up.

What's in my hoop: No progress.

What's in The Doll's Storybook: In Who's the Boss? Mariah and the boys discuss who is more important: a president or a prime minister. Mariah has other ideas. 

What's on my iPad/iPhone: Still listening to The Woman Who Smashed Codes by Jason Fagone on the Audible app. 

What's in my wine glass: Madroña's El Tinto, a red table wine, one of their basic selections, which varies from year to year, but a favorite each year.

What's my tip of the week: I've been cutting parchment-paper circles for pizza, which we have nearly once a week. Then it occurred to me that someone might actually make these. Well, they do. I found them in the size I need here.

Taking It Easy

I ran out of yarn in the middle of the concert on Sunday, but more on that later. After the concert was over, I set up my ball winder and swift on the loom and wound another ball.

I spent another week of mostly sleeping and only doing the basic necessities. By Thursday, though, I finally felt like knitting again. The hard part was separating the sleeves from the body, and that was only difficult because I had to concentrate and count, two things I wasn't doing well ever since coming down with the flu two weeks ago. As I write this, I'm still coughing, but more energetic than I have been for a while, and we're hoping to get our booster shots on Tuesday. Charlie is about two days behind me on the symptoms, so we'll see whether he feels like going or not.

So there I was, Thursday evening, putting the sleeve stitches on waste yarn. Now it's just straight K, K, K, all the way down to the waist. Here's the link to my project page on Ravelry, if you want more details.

I managed to make some chili and some bread on Friday. It was a good thing I felt up to it, because we were out of cooked food and TV dinners. I baked a little loaf of Dutch oven bread, but I didn't think to get a photo until this was all that was left.

Friday was Zachary's birthday. I think his favorite present was his iPod. I call it a training phone. He can't make phone calls with it or surf the internet, but he can text his parents if he's home alone and needs something. He can also access The Doll's Storybook directly with a special link.

He was happy to get some Legos and some other fun things. He helped bake the cake, chocolate on chocolate. (He's a little intimidated by the double-digit age, though, but he'll get used to it. He will have a double-digit birthday for a long time.)

We got him a Götz Little Kidz Paul doll. Paul is the same size as Pippa in my stories. He actually comes as a boy.

Zachary was very excited to get him, and he and his sister have already played with their dolls together quite a bit.

It's nice to have a birthday on a Friday, so he could play with all his new things all weekend. 

Sunday we had planned on going to the concert series we've been attending. We didn't really feel like going, but didn't want to miss it. Fortunately, it was broadcast, so we were able to watch it with the pups. They included "Melody No. 2" by the Ukrainian composer Miroslav Skorik, which is to Ukraine what our "America the Beautiful" is, almost a second national anthem.

Speaking of Ukraine, If anyone is in the Portland, Oregon, area, you might be interested in this benefit, Voices for Ukraine. The price of the tickets includes the $20 cost of the concert, and the rest of the price of the ticket goes to Mercy Corps. 

I'm really, really, hoping to be back to normal by next week!

What's on my sewing machine: Back to doll clothes for birthdays.

What's in my hoop: No change.

What's in The Doll's Storybook: "Fashion Show." I didn't feel up to taking a lot of action shots this week, so I used the photos from many of my free patterns and instructions and only had to take photos of Veronika and Mandy introducing the outfits.

What's on my iPad/iPhone: Listening to The Woman Who Smashed Codes by Jason Fagone on the Audible app. 

What's in my wine glass: Ribera Del Duero Teófilo Reyes Tempranillo. Very nice. I could hardly resist an extra glass.

What's my tip of the week: Before you leave to go shopping for food, check your medicine cabinet for whatever cold supplies you need when you're sick, like tissues, cough medicine and decongestant. You won't want to have to go out for it once you get sick.
