Doll disaster

I've finished my girl doll, and the results are disastrous. It isn't just quirky like the boy one was, it's downright ugly and bizarre. I'm very disappointed; I've worked on this doll for weeks, and yesterday I still thought it would turn out... acceptable, at the very least, but when I put it together today I saw that it was horrible. Simply horrible. The only cute features are its shoes, but those aren't enough to save it. If you're really brave (or suicidally curious) you can take a look at it here.

That is it. I won't ever make a doll again, unless I get a pattern that actually works. Clearly, I don't have the skill to make up a pattern on my own. Of course, the fact that I've sewn on the various body parts instead of using a hot glue gun like the original poster on YouTube only made things worse. But I wanted a doll that was child-safe. I didn't know the sewing would lead to a misshapen one, at least with this (badly reverse-engineered) pattern.

Anyway, that took up nearly all the me-time today, and for what? I did a tiny bit of writing on my private smutty piece (it's like comfort food, only for the troubled mind), did a bit of transcribing for EMV II, talked to two friends on the phone and watched some telly with Mum - and that was basically it. We didn't even have to cook, and yet the whole day went down the toilet due to the doll disaster.

Tomorrow I'll have to bake something to overcome my melancholy.
