Setting up my Manni - i am clueless

he has a gorgeous built-in audience!

hee hee

we unfortunately have no basement (nobody here does).

My office is in the first room in the house. its the third bedroom but has the french doors so it could be a bedroom or a den. So because i didn't have the drapes up, you see her from the front porch.

I think that it is because he is one of those people that doesn't like dolls. Barbies are okay. Children's baby dolls are okay, but those porcelain dolls that stare right at you he has always not liked.

We reached a compromise though. He didn't want her in the house at all, but I have agreed to put her away when I wasn't using her until I have the funds to work from a seperate facility so I get to keep her but he doesn't get freaked out.
 
Chris, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, did you figure it out yet?

I'm curious as to what that other part is for.

Your hubby will get used to her, mine did and we now own 8 and he likes them as much as I do.
 
I am going to have to fiddle with her again on monday when I take her out of the closet again. I am famous for putting things together without a critical piece, but as of yesterday, I could not get it going quite right. The bolt goes in her leg like the wingnut on yours, but that tube thing i just don't know!

He truly is terrified of her. I think it will take him a long time. When we went to visit my parents, we slept in my sister's old room. They did it over as a guest room, but they did put a porcelain doll that she had displayed on the dresser in the room that she wasn't going to move with her until she was more settled and didn't want her to break. Tom had to turn the doll to face the wall when we slept. I guess I don't understand it at all. Its not like a fear of an animal that attacked you as a kid. It looks like a dead person to him too. It puzzles me because he doesn't have any other sort of phobia, etc. He is not afraid of any creepy crawley thing either.

He also was nervous about the guy that came in to do our carpets would think we were weirdos.

Wasn't there an edgar allen poe story where someone was kept in the closet or the attic for years and no one knew that the person existed? i think they did it in Jane Eyre too. reminded me of that hee hee

It was a compromise, he wanted me to get a storage space to work at or send her back, but there was no way!!! Maybe the storage space someday when i need more space for inventory.

I hope to get him used to her more and more but its going to take some doing.
