I mean I do have heaps of fun with it when I'm OK, but right now, I'm incredibly weak and tired and my head is trying to split in two 24/7 and I can't even see what I'm doing half of the time, because migraine affects my sight...
...
And the handles are sanded and, uh, stained? Like a polish, but it's semi-transparent and it soaks to the wood more?

The thing is... if this makes sense... you weren't here before you were here, so you have no way of realizing how much less active the forum was before you joined. Seriously... and this is not "effusive praise" or flattery or anything other than a statement of fact... your joining this forum almost single-handedly revitalized the place! Some of us were limping along last year with our Doll A Day / Week things, but after you joined, and posted your "catch-up" photos, and started sharing daily photos and commenting, the activity level here increased significantly. Previously quiet members reappeared, and new members began joining.
Like, werepuppy joined us from another forum, and Lejays brought in elfy, kanrabat found us, the seemingly shy tasuke began posting more often and responding to comments, and Dolly Market is now exhibiting a much more dynamic and lively sense of activity and fun than it has in ages!
So, like, no pressure or anything, but... we need you! Your presence has become a primary catalyst for the "humor and delightful nonsense" and overall liveliness of the forum!
(I really hope this recent string of migraines winds down for you soon!)
Oh, and yes, "stain" is the correct term for the wood finish you describe.
Also, as Alliecat says, "random snapshots do count." Hey, you've seen some of my photos. I know you set high standards for yourself, but sneaking in a sloppy shot of your dolls piled on your work table or the peg toys at the local market is totally acceptable, and would actually be kind of fun to see!
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
