"I Hate Turquoise!!"

Guess who said that? Yup. It only took a couple of days for Tessie to decide that she hated the new outfit. She started in with, "Suede is toooo hot for summer." Then it was, "I can't move around in this vest....". Lastly it was, "Cordelia's apron is much nicer than this one.....I want one like hers...Only different and nicer."

Tessie found the other half of the antique handkerchief that was the material for Cordelia's apron and insisted that I use it.

I caught her repeatedly sneaking up on Cordelia's front porch, ringing the bell and hiding in the bushes. Why? "I wanted to get a good look at her apron to make sure that you didn't copy it for mine. I need much more lace."

So, rather than argue with her, I went to work and made her new clothes.....I don't think that she really needs a Millinery and Apparel Shoppe. She has me.......

Poor Cordelia is being run ragged answering the door with nobody there.

Thank goodness, Cordelia is happy with her clothes. I have to keep her separated from Tessie. I don't want her picking up ideas. Would anybody like to bet on how long it is going to take Tessie to hate the new apron? And a bet on how long it will take her to influence Cordelia........?

Today is the witches mini meeting, so I am kind of coasting.
Before I go get ready, I have to show you Mookie's latest hideout.

For the past week this has been his favorite napping place. The cat has good taste. That is my miniature, Minutiae shop that he is using as a bed. We can't figure out why, all of a sudden, this is a cat bed. Oh well. At least he hasn't tried to get into the shop through the front door lately. He used to reach a paw in and drag minis out to play with. Better that he sleeps on top than I provide him with mini toys.

I have to go get ready to go now.

See you tomorrow.

I love your daily info.. so creative.. I was just wondering if you had the start of Tessies life in pictures? I would love to know how she came to be...
I finally found all of my naked dolls and want to get them started. I hope Tessie won't mind sharing info about herself.

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of Tessie before she moved into the glass case that she used to live in....She wormed her way into the blog in January of 2009. You can see that photo in the first blog entry about her...Here...
http://caseymini.blogspot.com/2009/01/movin-on-up.html From there on, she has played a pretty important part here. Have fun looking at her progress.LOL

Mookie looks very happy where he is.
Tessie's new clothes are really pretty. Love the apron! I really need to have a go at making some clothes for my dolls...

Tessie should be happy she has much more lace than Cordelia on her apron. And the bed looks wonderful, did you dress it. And puss has found a good spot, my cat doesn't come near my minis as they are in the 'dog's domain'.
