FINALLY!!! I have a body double!!!

I won’t go into the 2-month saga that went into her acquisition, or the complete halt it put on my sewing… all I’ll say is now that she’s in my life, life is SOOOOO much better!!! 🙂

So what shall I call her? ^_^

  You are the sweetest, Mrs M – and really on to something too, I think; there’s something really eye opening about seeing yourself from a 360 degree perspective for the first time – it’s like I can truly separate my body from my body image and personal feelings, and just see it for its form – pretty neato!! 🙂

So impressed. Cant imagine the hours it took to perfect. I haven’t found the patience to make one of these yet. Maybe she is called Patience! As a reminder that all wonderful things are created with a little bit of that stuff and a lotta love!! x

  Great thinking Janene! 🙂 She’s actually padded out to my body shape/measurements from a standard dress form but it still did take a lot of patience, as does the process of fitting, which is what she’s here for so definitely appropriate! 🙂

Cool! I vacillate about whether I want a body double or not! I’d probably be awful and call it ‘Hey, you!’ So I have no good name ideas for you…

Sounds like you really powered through on this!
Maybe call her something like “Sasha” a name I always think is saucy and who doesn’t want a saucy body double?
