What's its name


I would love to name this doll a boy/girl name, as I plan on dressing it as either, depending on what baby clothes I am sewing at the time.
So what do you think would be a good neutral name.

Older blankets remembered

I made 3 of these for the girls. They were 1 1/2 inch squares from all the blankets I made that year. They were not strip pieced, I sewed each one. You can't really tell, but the embroidery is Susie Zoo.


Isn't she the sweetest? Kev got the bottom cut for my newborn cradle. She looks so cute all snuggled up it.
This bandana quilt, I won the the hankies at a Linus sew in. It was one of the door prizes. We will use this for picnics if it is ever spring here. I do love how it came out.






This one is for Kevin, it is also all my 2 1/2" scraps, I love sewing these blankets, sigh, I just haven't got to sew them in a long time.



I love this peach quilt, I was making it for a friend, then a dear friend of mine, Katie, gave me some of the fabric set, shortly after I finished this quilt, Katie passed away, so I couldn't part with it. It now hangs in my hallway.






This was a hand appliqae class. I hated the hand work, so finished it off as a machine quilt. I do like the way it came out. It is my spring quilt that hangs up for Easter.

binding a quilt

Ahhhhhhhh, my chair is all fixed confy, I just slip under

the quilt, and start stitching. I need to finish it before the warm weather sets in.



















Hubby dear gave me chocolate covered strawberries for Valentines day. This is the box they came in, wasn't that sweet of him.

Tiff, don't eat the baby!!!!




She's finally here. Its my Berenger baby. No, she's not reborn, but I am really happy with her. I couldn't see spending $600 on something I would walk in and find my dog chewing on. Or from the picture, tiff chewing on. She is an old one with a cloth body, but she is weighted, and she feels real when you hold her. She will be great for trying on my newborn heirloom gowns I want to make. Tiff says she did indeed feel real in her arms. Isn't her face sweet? I love her cute little creases and wrinkles. I haven't named her, because I dress her as a boy or girl, hmmmmm, what name would be good for both? Sydney, ........




Do these lips make my face look small?

Ready for Spring



I finally finished this up. I never did a stacked name until this. I think it came out pretty well. Its on a little fleece blanket.
Well, here is our potato patch. I read as they grow, you add dirt, and more potatoes will grow. We are excited to see if we will get a pool full of potatoes.

A blue day

Our poor little Tupac, our large lizard, was feeling poorly. So we put him in his carrying cage to bring him to a guy who said he could nurse him back to health. Well, he looked terrible, so off to the vets, he did not make the trip. Poor little lizard, you will be missed.

Finally dressed

Didn't she come out darling?? This is my Christmas suprise from Kevin last year. He fished her out of a box of garbage realizing what she was, fixed her, and she has been standing in her cabinet waiting to be beautiful. Her hair curled really pretty. It does look big in the pic. Her suit is made out of old curtains from Sherri. I think it gives it just the right aged look. Doesn't look newer then the doll.
