Wednesday 1980 Cold. Fair. Radious, Walter, Val and Gene Lipps & Jennings were in a minute. To Prayer meeting tonite.
Footnote: Radious and Walter are her neighbors. Val and Gene Lipps were friends of hers and I don't know where they lived. Jennings is her brother who lives nearby. Prayer meeting was at her church.
My note: Boy I don't know what I was doing this morning that made me forget to write on the blog. I am getting ready for a show on Sunday and I had a couple of silk purses in mind to make and I guess I just jumped right into that as I did get them made. I am working on a new doll - a fat older lady made of the fabric from a wool skirt that I got at the junk store - recycle. I made 6 new dolls for the last show that have dark brown skin - one is actually black fabric - and I crocheted jackets and hats for them out of silk ribbon that came from old Indian sari's. So the jackets are wildly colored and kinda stringy as the silk does ravel some. They were perfect for the long skinny black dolls that I dressed in African tie-dye fabric. I sold 3 of them to one gal who is giving them to the grand children of the Rev. Shuttlesworth ( a marcher and friend of Dr. Martin Luther King). He lived here in Cinti before he died recently. So I love to try putting together new dolls. I just cut fabric and sew - no pattern. I gotta get back now, gotta figure out what kind of legs and shoes this gal will have.
