Another Resident on her way

Today was Tonner Tuesday once again. I sat patiently waiting and watching the computer clock tick the minutes til the email arrived. I bought Victoria from Twilight. She has been on my wish list since she first appeared on the market. She comes barefoot which I didn't realize. And she is flat footed. Hmm that will be a challenge for shoes. But she also comes with an extra pair of feet that can wear high heels. Man I wish I had two pair of feet sometimes. Wouldn't that be nice when your feet got sore or tired, you could just whip them off and put on a fresh pair LOL
Here's her promo pic. I already have her written into my Lofton Adventure story. Not sure what chapter she will appear in. I think I sent out 15 chapters and an epilogue. I will start it up again soon. Once this house is off the market.....9 more days to go.

I have decided to name my Wigged Tyler gal, Josie. She will either be a model or an actress. A reason to justify having so many different hair styles and colours.  Of course she could be a hairdresser too like Sam is. Now the burning question is....Is Josie related to Sam? I am sure that would be a good storyline to run.

Samantha

 Just to refresh your memory Samantha was a runaway (from Montreal). Sam was not her real name as we found out. And she was pregnant! I still have not revealed who the father is, but I do know who it is. Sometimes I let my stories take me along for the ride (like Barclay & Clarice, and the motorcycle gang story)  I like not knowing what is going to happen next or how it ends. I find the stories that I do know the ending hard to write as I have usuall lose interest in how it gets to it's ending when I already know it. Now some items you need to know ahead of time but most times I write it as it happens (or as I dream it). Yes I am still dreaming about my dolls, mostly the newer ones as I try to find ways of introducing them into Dolton or Lofton. Most of the dolls (except Victoria) don't have a pre made story. Although sometimes I look for specific dolls to fill a role that I have in mind. Just like in Dolton, Lofton is starting to fill in with occupations of everyday life. So finding doll characters for these roles is a fun and sometimes challenging part of my doll collecting. Some dolls (like Will Turner) just show up because I buy them on a whim or I get a good deal, then I have to figure out what that doll will be in my town. As we know Will fit in rather well. His job (he's a carpenter btw) made him become well known in town. And his projects enabled him to mix and get to know many of the residents. Another such character Hal Jordan, who's name is Al Jordan in Lofton will be the mail man. It not only gave him an occupation but a way of meeting almost everyone!

Because there are not enough male dolls made (in any size or brand) many of my ladies (in Lofton at least) are widowed or single. Slowly I am adding new males to the town, but I'm afraid these gals will always be short the men needed. I keep buying more gals LOL

Since today was the last day of Summer, the weather played nice and gave us another good day, although it was humid. We are expecting cooler temps and rain for the rest of the week. I'm sure it will be remnants of Igor that hit our east coast today. Provincial Government in Newfoundland has called a state of emergency so I gather it was pretty bad. I'm sure we will get the whole story tonight on the news. I rarely listen to the radio anymore, too many commercials.  I have all my discs downloaded on the computer and tons of vinyl if I really need music. Before doll collecting I was an avid record collector. Mostly 45's. At one time I had more records than dolls, but that changed this past decade.

I'm still crocheting squares. Last night I learned how to Knook! That is knitting with a crochet hook. It's much like Tunesian crochet except the hook has a cord on the end and the item looks knitted when finished. I will have to go to Micheals this week to buy a Knooking Hook and give it a try. They are expensive though. But I have a coupon *grin* 

The tutorials that they have on line (especially on UTube) are amazing. And unlike having a real person get exhasberated with you, you can replay the video over and over again until you learn it.

Well I guess that is all I have for you today. Hope your day was a pleasant one.
