Lately, I have been working as a jewellery- and dress-designer for probably the richest doll on the Earth. She is the Barbie I gifted to my daughter last summer, she is named as Elsa (after the Disney princess, of course). Ever since then, I have been hard at making dresses suitable for her station in life.
Lately, my daughter requested my help for making jewellery for Lady Elsa based on her original designs.
Within a couple of hours, we had seven new sets of necklaces and earrings, along with a tiara, made out of buttons, fake pearls from my junk jewellery and metal wire, held together with a lot of love (because love is a magic and only magic can hold these fragile things together). That, of course, excludes the four previous jewellery sets that had been lost in the previous month.
My payment was ten-kisses-a-piece, which I consider quite generous.
It is rather nice working for those rich in love. 😀

I’m sure she already realises what a great mother you are, and one day she will write about all the wonderful things you did together when she was a child.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thank you, Beth! It is wonderful how children take after their parents. When I was 10, I had built my doll’s jewellery in exactly the same way. When my 7-year-old daughter came up with these designs, I was so surprised and proud 🙂 And I still love doing all this crazy stuff! No sweat for me 🙂
