davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

Yay, it's growing!

The mangrove pods can be slow to get started. The one that is growing I actually picked up on the beach a year ago! I stuck it in a jar of water, hauled it back to Utah, and just before leaving Utah a few weeks ago it was beginning to put out a small shoot. They put out roots first. I'll try to get  pictures of the roots if any of the new ones begin to root.

You can find these for sale on eBay, but I imagine shipping them internationally would be problematic.

4 December - A Doll A Day 2023:

Doll Boots

I paid actual money (twelve bucks!)  to replace one set of plastic doll boots with another set of plastic doll boots. I'm feeling pretty stupid for having done so. I mean, what difference does it make?

The shiny ones were too tight to fit on the figure's feet, and too flimsy to support the figure when it was standing. The less shiny pair have slightly stiffer soles, although they're still not really adequate to provide good balance.

I gotta stop flushing money down the... drain... for stuff like this. I mean... I'm not really enjoying it anymore, I guess.
