Surprise in the mail

I was so excited to receive this unexpected package. Holly, from the wonderful blog Holly loves Art, sent me this wonderful piece of art as a thank you. I was touched by her generosity and thoughtfulness. Thanks Holly, not only will I enjoy this but so will Pearl.

Five Months later...

Done! I finally got the curtains done. I bought this fabric back in February at the Webster flea market and wanted to make curtains for Pearls room and finally got around to it. Lets see... Feb, March, April, May, June, July...Hmmm right on time.

Is it smiling at me?

I posted this on my other blog for friends and family Plaidpoppy's News and Updates and thought I would re-post it here as well.

Paige cam running into the house "Mom come see!" I know when words like that come out of her mouth that I need to grab my camera. This little guy was hanging out on out truck. They are not the easiest thing to take photos of, I am not ever sure where to try to focus. They are so delicate that I am never sure if I am in focus, so I take a million photos and hope that one is crisp.


The face on this guy is very cute. Looks like he is smiling and belongs in a Pixar film. Click the photos to enlarge them.

Icicle doll Swap ~ Lana

I am so excited to show what a wonderful Icicle doll I received from the very talented Lana. It was funny that we both sent Dolls that were created with the Sea/Ocean in mind, I love that.


The way she did her face is wonderful I love stitch work, and the shells she added to her tail is wonderful, how clever. I will treasure her. Thanks Lana I love her!

Ocean Icicle doll

I wanted to try to make this Icicle doll a little different. She had a hat made out of coral I found on the beach and I also added hair to her this time. I love using found objects when I make dolls and I thought this might be a nice thing to add. She is off to her new home and I hope she will be loved.

And now a little good news! Winner!

Congratulations to the winner!
