Ok, I know I promised no more making dolls. At least until after the new year. Will someone please tell me what the hell IM supposed to do now??? I wake up, do all my chores… And then… Work on painting my babies for a couple hours. I save my rooting for at night when it’s 2 dark to paint. I said I wouldn’t start any more. Well… I can’t take it. I guess I’ll throw everything in my closet on the ground and hang it all up again. I hate being bored. I shouldn’t of agreed to this. And I have 2 months of this? I guess I’ll order netflixs.

I guess I see the problem with it. It is all I do with any spare time. Because I love it and I don’t have many other choices except clean. I’ll have the cleanest house in the world… But I do not like cleaning. I do understand the problem… I mean look at me… I’m freaking out over here! I need to come up with things to do with all my extra time which is 22 hours a day. Any ideas?
if you enjoy then …do your baby dolls…buy some more kits and get busy …

I can’t. I promised my husband no more painting. I don’t know why it bothers him, but it does. For some reason, he would rather have me sitting on the couch staring at the tv. I have plenty of kits. And everything else. Lol
The ban is on until after the new year. He supposedly has projects he needs my assistance on, that need my full attention. I had a list. I did it all this morning. Lololol

That is a good idea. He works from home, he is pretty much always here. Maybe I can take up singing? Create a rock band and make myself the lead singer. That is actually a great idea. I’m off to eBay, to buy a microphone. Seriously. What a great idea! Thank you!!! There is few things he hates more than me singing. Especially loudly. I will specialize in covers… From PINK, Gwen, and Alannis. Ooohhhh, let’s not leave out Kelly clarkson.

Maybe he’s like lots of other men Nik----He just doesn’t like the whole “Doll” thing, Or maybe he’s jealous of the time you spend with them? If he doesn’t really understand your love for the hobby it can be “embarrassing” for a man to admit his WIFE likes dolls!!! He may not want anyone to know about it. Men are weird—too bad cause you wouldn’t try to take away from a hobby of his!!! Can you work on them when he isn’t home? I would hate to sit and watch TV all the time unless it’s what I really wanted to do. Geez, good luck, I don’t think I could go that long without reborning.

No… He says I don’t get other things he wNts done because I work on my dolls. I think he likes me to be ready and available to him at all times. He doesn’t want to hear… Hold on, I need to finish this layer, or I need to get this head done so I can’t go to the gym with you. ( I hate going to the gym with him, its more of an excuse) I guess not doing dolls takes away every excuse because seriously… It’s the only thing I do because me household stuff. It really opens up my schedule!!!
Change all your babies clothes. Redecorate something. Change all the sheets. Exercise. Cook an amazing meal. Write to me snail mail. (I love getting snail mail) Do a grown up coloring page. Make something crafty. Do an online Bible study. Take an online class. Go to Khan academy and hone your math skills. Sew something. Knit or crochet or learn to knit or crochet. Call an old friend you haven’t seen for a long time and talk. Draw a picture. Make a list of dolls you want to make when you can find time. Need more ideas??? Read a great book or read one again. (I suggest “To Kill a Mockingbird”) Go to the Library. Buy a treat for the dogs. Bake a treat for the dogs. Cuddle the puppies and sniff them for me. Are you still bored? Imagine the power is out. (It was here) Then be really happy it isn’t and do something that uses lots of amazing electricity. (We are totally surrounded by magic!) Don’t be bored. It shows a lack of imagination and I know you have plenty of imagination.

Ok. I guess there is alot I can do. But I would still rather do my dolls! I am blaming this on the buyers! Or the non buyers!!! It’s there fault( of course not mine) that I can’t sell! In my house " if it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense". It could of went either way. Of course I hoped for things to go in my favor. Maybe my singing career with take off??? 
️ I have to only do things that don’t cost any money. But, I did have enough for that microphone!

I have my phone as my camera. I think photos of dolls is still under the doll rule. Rooting doesn’t count because he thinks I hate it! Lmao, and because I have to finish what I started! Thank you ladies, these are all good suggestions!
You can start watching all of the housewives shows and there are a lot of them. My hubby would rather me do anything else besides watch what he refers to as the angry womens hour. He hates them. lol Had to edit my post Whoops!

Oh! Lol I can practice my hand writing!!!
I hear ya Nikki, I’d be so bored without my reborning. My husband hates it… Ill be painting and he’ll go up to bed and text me, “dolls win again " or
"you love those dolls more than me” or if I’m looking at my phone he says “reading about dolls again?” blah blah blah. Before reborning I’d stay up all night and clean and organize stuff and I hated it. I still get done what I need to do now but I get it done so I can paint or root!
