I MUST LEAVE.

Not for good of course - but I must take a few days off to complete some orders I have for my handmade dolls - pictured above. I thought I could do both if I worked out a schedule, but I find that I am staying longer on Mylot than planned - like I am addicted or something. So I must make a complete break and I will get back as soon as I can - probably around next Tuesday or Monday. Have you ever felt yourself been drawn to something -- like a moth to a flame? Well that is the way it is with Mylot and me. Anyway I'll be here until lunch time tomorrow.

That's why I took the break I did. I need to get my book finished and spending all my time here isn't accomplishing that. Your dolls are gorgeous. I hope you do well with them.

Thank you. It is difficult taking the time off but I must if I wish to keep my market. One of the orders I am supposed to deliver is already late.

You know I hear that all the time -- people tell me I look like my dolls - but believe me , the likeness is fading. I'll be back next week, and I'll be online for another hour or so.

@allknowing Seems like you aren't happy to see me back soon. Actually I didn't have to do anything from scratch - I added finishing touches and did my delivery this morning. However from now on I will be following a schedule to better manage my work and time.

Yes, I do feel that way to myLot, specially on weekends when I have to clean our bedroom, which is just once in a week. Yesterday was one of those days. Though , my determination to have all the pillows dried under the sun was stronger. So after lunch, I really dried each one of them , 30 minutes each, since the sun was shining so brightly. I was so happy, I was determined to do it. The pillows smelled so clean after that. I have to put them in new casings.

I need to take a break to mylot too to concentrate on my tutorial. Those are nice dolls. Are they toys or just for display?

@Kandae11 Same here if I want to make money with my art I have to focus at it and leave mylot for when I'm too tired to paint.

@Kandae11 I do the same, I come here thinking I will stay no more than one hour and then I get caught in discussions and I never go.

It could work if I would just stick to a schedule, But whenever I am on here, I find myself getting caught up and staying longer than planned. I am falling behind with my orders so I have one hour left here then I am off till next week.

Mylot the magnet. Thanks - like I mentioned before, making them was a hobby at first, then I was advised to take them to the tourist shops.
