Made me giggle. These two are endlessly entertaining.
That one piece of hose looks like mine… Plastic, impossible to neatly coil, and kinks ALL THE TIME. I hate it, but every once in a while I need that extra length. I should try to sell it and buy something different, but… (shrug)
A little bit at a time is a start. Then you can look at what you have done and it feels good to have accomplished something.

Yes, that hose has been problematic since the get-go, which has likely contributed to it being mistreated and ignored and left to decay in the sun.

Bratz with Wildflowers was a fun series. Captain Action is quite a dashing guy.

I love how realistic they always look. Like in the first picture, the poses are so natural.

I managed to catch a few wildflowers before the intense summer sun and a complete lack of rain finished them off.

For the most part, the Smart Dolls pose fairly well. The main challenge for me is that the elbows tend to look "pointy" and awkward in certain positions.

Yeah, they actually managed to wear out a DeWalt electric drill! This new one is "industrial grade" so it should last for a while. But... they spent the money I was intending to use for some doll and figure stuff.
Janie manages to save some money using a repurposed item rather than buying something new in our next exciting installment:

Oh dear... there are dolls lost in the Storage Shed Of Doom?
It's so fun to see their adventures; I would never get anything done if I stopped to take dolly pix in the middle of projects.
Reading through again, I imagined a joke shot where one of the girls is peering into the hose as the other turns the water on... but that might not be a safe or healthy kind of shot for them to do....

As long as they keep working while you're taking pictures, it doesn't slow things down too much.

Cosplay wings don't usually work very well for actual flying.
