Jennie Wade Doll: (Gettysburg, The Civil War)

  Pleased with my first Jennie Wade doll. Up to chapter twenty-nine with my DOC notes. Going to have to make a Doc Holliday doll as well as the cover portrait. Thinking DOC ought to be funnier than Fanging with Claude, longer too, there is so much to work with. He crammed a lot of living into his thirty-six years. There will be a chapter devoted to each year. It's going to be another musical satire. Stay tuned. 

 

Sir Beltane, Sir Napsalot, & Mr. Magnolia

  The fairy cakes and Ron's fairy house are gone. Sir Beltane is mine. Sir Napsalot is Ron's since I sleep all day because he won't let me have a puppy. Mr. Magnolia stayed in the tree. Ron said it rained twice while I was sleeping, but these fellows stayed dry beneath the tree while I waited for their Super Glue to dry. Their faces are done with Sharpies, and they have a couple of coats of varnish all around. Ron had drilled holes in the nuts for me, and I wired them with pipecleaners. I am not selling them due to fragility, but they are a fun craft for kids while they are learning about trees. I like trees and puppies way more than people. I am working on my first Jennie Wade doll for the Jennie Wade House in Gettysburg. I am making two sizes: ten inch and dollhouse size. I probably won't get back there in awhile as my next plans are for The 1777 Americana Inn in Ephrata. I want to stay in the Garden Room. TTYL... 🎕
