And as you may remember, Santa took it further and equipped said doll with a pod and dexcom receiver.
Of course, Bean is your typical seven year old who is never completely satisfied with anything and felt that Bean (the doll) was missing a few critical items...a PDM to control her pod and a Wilma (what we call the dexcom receiver) for her dexcom sensor.
Being the diplomat that I am, I told her that Santa would probably be dropping off those items at a later date as he was most likely swamped with the Christmas rush and would then need some down time to recover from the festivities.
While we were waiting on Santa, Donna, the amazing T1Mom behind Tallygear, was working in her own little workshop creating the most awesome doll sized belt and headband. Yeah, she TOTALLY rocks like that! So, Bean was tided over by their arrival to a certain extent, but was still patiently (kinda!) waiting for Santa to come, again.
Today, the magic that is Santa struck again!
the matching Beans!
close up of doll sized 'dexcom reciever' and 'PDM'
FYI, all the items were made from oven baked modeling clay. The 'dexcom reciever' and 'PDM' were then painted with 'regular' crafter's acrylic paint and then sealed with clear nail polish...didn't have any polyurethane and wasn't going to go get any for two little items. Even Santa has her limits!! ;)
YOU ARE A GENIOUS!!!! I must make my daughter a pump and Dexcom ASAP....or....you could start yourself a little business.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin' :)
Coming back because I just looked that detail...you must do this...open an Etsy shop. Between your song renditions and these babies, the possibilities are endless!

ReplyDeleteMeagan, Kaitlyn, and me think that's pretty cool! chatted with your husband last night. Sounds like maybe next time we're in town, could make a play date. We'll be in touch. Trying to stay warm here in Nome.
ReplyDeleteOh, Denise..those are AWESOME!! Mary Claire's doll has diabetes too, and a site, but the tubing leads to her pump pouch (but there is nothing on the other end!!) I have to make one. That is too cool! Yep, I agree with Wendy, you need an Etsy store!! : )
