Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)
Dark Forest Girls sounds like it could be a cool band, with those three as the members. Your pictures are honestly looking fine.

Again: stay safe!

The Spring Equinox doodle is cute.

And the Dark Forest girls are a nice grouping.

Another vote for Dark Forest Girls as a band name! And Cerise, Ginger, and Faybelle are total rock band member names – I envision something like a cross between the Spice Girls and the Bangles!

Cerise looks so cool. She's definitely the bass player, because bass players are always the coolest cats in any group.

"...but the weather is always absolutely not dolly photo-firendly." – I'm all too familiar with this! When I saw your reference to International Day of Forests I looked outside and... rain mixed with snow, and windy. So no forest pics today here, either.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

That also looks like a good band publicity shot.

Thanks guys! I'm afraid that this music band isn't going to happen, Cerise is rather shy and Faybelle can't forgive Ginger for not becoming an evil witch.


Day 82

Sewing more surgical masks. Everyone in family has one, but it would be better to have two or three, as they need to be boiled after every use. So I'm making more.

What it looks like:

Sui's new name is May. Not a diminutive of Mary or Margaret, just May.


As of this writing, Czech Republic has 1047 cases of COVID-19, 19 serious ones (they didn't all happen overnight, they just weren't reported right away), no deaths, six people have fully recovered. The chaos in organizing everything continues, but still in the same way, so it's becoming the new standard and mass panic and riots don't seem to be imminent. I'm always so happy when I open the news website in the morning and learn that nobody died here. I'm afraid it's inevitable, but I'm glad that it didn't happen so far.


And more Ghostbusters dancing, this time from cops from Pardubice. (I don't have a twitter account, so I'm using my COVID-19 reports here to save the links)

Appropriately post-apocalyptic processing on the second pic.

Your sewing set up looks comfortable

Aw, how can you not love the idea of Dark Forest Girls as a band? LOL
Nice that the cops have a sense of humour & are trying to lighten spirits.
Glad you have something constructive & helpful to do.... I hear there are volunteer networks in the USA doing this for medical people.

That’s a great and useful way to put skills to work.

I do, they don't LOL

In Czech Republic, volunteers were supplying surgical masks for some hospitals, cops, firefighters, but mostly for other civilians. Almost half of the nation is wearing homemade masks. I'm not being figurative. I don't have exact numbers, but it really is about a half of us. The few masks the state had went to 'front lines', to docs and such, so filthy commoners had to make do with what they had home. Luckilly, sewing is quite common here, so most people were able to sew their own mask or knew someone who could make it for them. One person could make masks for their family and neighbors, and these little networks covered quite a lot. We could do a lot more if we didn't run out of cotton! I made masks for my family, now I'm making spares for myself, but once I'm done with those, I'll be out of fabric, so I can't make masks to donate. Plus I'm still painfully slow, as I'm still pretty much new to this.

Thank you! For me, it's also a way to build up skills, as I'm still lacking in that area.



Day 83

More sewing. I'm tired today, so I only have a crappy snapshot, but it features the most gorgeous model ever. She's not afraid of the noise the machine's making at all. She's very curious.

Yesterday evening, the first person with COVID-19 died. But they were 95 years old, had several terminal illnesses (including very weak heart), and they had only a few months left at best, so nobody knows whether they really died because of the coronavirus.

As of this writing, we have 1236 cases of COVID-19, I don't know how many serious ones, but still around 20, one death, six people are fully recovered. And not a yard of cotton!!!

Adorable model in the background. Looks so soft & plushy.

You are going to be quite an accomplished seamstress... or tailor... or sewing person... gah! Sewing language is rampant with gender sterotype terminology.

Anyway, you're gonnna be pretty handy with the needle and thread by the time this is over.

(You'll notice I'm pretending that I believe this may someday be over.)

Aw, beautiful kitty.
We need more cat photos and videos these days. You can feel your blood pressure going down as you watch happy cats. smile
(May I recommend www.tinykittens.com? A wonderful rescue organization with live-stream & other Youtube videos.)
Sorry to hear someone has died... it is hitting the elderly and already-sick folks hard sad
