This could be fun if you are bored or avoiding the things you know you should be doing…or you are on the forum trying to avoid that lovely BB pink page with all the sale babies on it.
You know you are a reborn artist when:
Your 3 year old says “oh look that is such a pretty dolly did you make her” to a mommy with a real baby.
Your bed has glass beads in it (from your feet). This may also mean you need to sweep more often but there are babies to be made.
Your vacuum needs repair because it is full of mohair.
You have more clothing for your reborns then you do yourself!
You see a baby at the grocery store and start thinking I wonder if that’s more of a yellow ochre or burnt umber skin tone… (I always do this) Then you stare so long trying to figure out the shades and colors just right the mom thinks your a psycho lol.
You spend more money on doll kits,then you do for your own kids.
You take more photos of your reborns then your own kids haha.
You know you’re a reborn artist when you find yourself booking your hotel for next year’s ROSE right after you got home from this years. (@lynn LOL GREEN BANANAS, YEAH!)
You know you are a reborn artist when you have a random doll head sitting on a chair (makeshift table) next to your bed waiting for you to finish rooting it…
You know you are a reborn artist when there are random doll limbs strewn about your apartment waiting to test that new brilliant idea you have.
You know you are a reborn artist when instead of bottles on your BOTTLE drying rack, you have doll limbs…
You know your a reborn artist …
When your in the nursery at church taking photos of the babies swirl.
When your talking to a perspective parent (daycare) and you run into the house and grab a head or limb (you just painted last night) to compare coloring and mottling. It’s a good thing my sister warned her that I make dolls, except she left out the part where I try to make them look Real.
When your 12 yr old son tells his friends, “don’t worry it only takes 8 minutes to make a baby and then we can go to the pool!” ( in front of their parents). I needed to bake one more time!
You know you are a reborn artist when you are trying to come up with a good exclamation when the cashier ask about the newborn clothes, shoes, diapers, bottles, ect…
you are purchasing.
“Aww how old is your baby?”
“Umm… 16 and 12…
"Baby shower?”
“Nope”
When you get called in to your daughters school because they asked her what her mommy does and she says “my mom just makes babies all day” yea try explaining that one
My problem too, @Ahairrell!! And one more reason to lose the weight from my last baby (who is almost 3 now, I’m ashamed to say lol)… I will be super awkward if one of these cashiers asks me when I’m due.
