Mannequins on the way!

My mannequins are in the mail! The guy I ordered them from is in California, but he sent them by FedEx so hopefully they’ll get here soon. In the meantime, I’m still making aprons.

Tonight, I made one that has a deep pleated pocket that would be perfect for clothespins. I don’t line-dry my clothes, but when my students were painting outside, we did hang up their pictures to dry on a line. And when I took them down after they had dried, I wished I had a big deep pocket in the apron I was wearing.

I have a question for you… I ordered a lady mannequin and a child one. They are basically just the front part of the torso, not full mannequin. What do you think I should name them? I want something cute, not too common. And the child’s name needs to be asexual. Any ideas?

For the lady how about Suzie (as in Suzie Q Homemaker)? For the child…hmmmmmmm Sam?

Also–I was thinking about aprons today– you know what market is totally missed–cute craft aprons. With pockets for scissors, pens, scraps, rotary cutter, etc. I am *always* setting stuff down and losing it mid-step. A half apron with like a million pockets would be perfect. Esp if it was cute! ^_^

Maybe call the child one ‘Jackie’? That’s ambiguous for both genders.

Hmm… my first thought for the child was Sam too, but I really like “Jackie.” It’s a little less obvious…

Still thinking on the lady’s name. I’ve never heard “Suzie Q Homemaker” before. Any other ideas?
