I used to try to share in the hobbies of my dear Woman. She really liked to sew, so I once tried to stitch together little dolls that looked like us. Though, honestly, I can't do much more than attach my own buttons to my shirts, I still managed somehow--it was a labor of love!
Abdomens-->new, white cotton socks filled with cotton balls.
Arms and Legs-->fingers cut-off from a white gardening glove (also filled with cotton).
Heads-->a couple of those tomato pin cushions with some of the sand let out; then covered in the same white cotton sock material.
Eyes-->the rollie type you can glue on (brown for her, blue for me).
Mouths-->a single dolls eyelash each (for a happy smile).
Clothes-->gray felt pants for me, and a dress for her (same color, so we matched that way); also a little felt necktie for me, and a hat for her (she always wore her hat, and I usually wear a tie).
Velcro-->for the palms (so that the dolls could hold hands).
idiosyncratic accoutrements-->wire frame eyeglasses for each of us; a notebook for me (because I like to make notes), and a newspaper for her with the headline "Francis Loves Jayne" (because she always read the newspaper, and I worried she would ignore me). You can buy these sorts of things at a art supply store, and then personalize them, like I did.
Thank-you. She really was perfect to me.
sorry to hear that, man. I'm so sorry.
