Food porn in the morning and unboxing Faceless lady

Hello. 
First of all I am feeling very tired today.
I don't think I've ever mentioned, that for the past couple of years I've been working night shifts only. I work from home, which has good and bad sides, but it was my choice, so I shouldn't complain.
Anyway, some mornings can be really hard, like today, when I feel exhausted, my eyes are closing and I would like to go bed and sleep for next 12 hours, but you know I can't do that, cause I have things to do.
So, on the gloomy, cloudy mornings like today I need my extra energy boosts, something to make me feel better, more energized...something to keep me going for another several hours.
And here's what I got today. A couple of days ago I bought a pack of tiny, spicy crackers and I completely forgot about them. I found them today and I made these little, hot snacks with peanut butter.
They taste so good!



Why can't I go to sleep yet? Here's the story...
She came to me yesterday and she arrived in pieces from the distant country, known as Netherlands.
Sadly, I was too busy to unbox her right away and welcome her properly, so she had to spend all night alone in the dark, cold box. 
But today, today I gave her all my time and attention, I put all the body parts together...
And here she is. My faceless, silent mannequin.
Someone who never complains, never has bad moods, a perfect model to work with.


Ok, enough poetic horror tales. A few facts. 
I needed (desperately) a mannequin for my crazy crochet creations, a full body, natural size female one to be precise.
I visited local shops, I checked some offers I found in online stores and I got to several conclusions.
First: Mannequins, in general, aren't cheap.
Second: Most mannequins are just weird.
Third: Majority of manneqins I saw has completely messed up body proportions. 
Fourth: All the female mannequins made in Germany look like porn stars (OMG the boobies! And OMG the nipples!)
At this point, my goal to find a cheap, natural looking female mannequin seemed impossible.
But hey, I found her! She's not flawless, but for my purposes she's ideal. 
I planned our first photo session for incoming weekend and I just can't wait!
