Here't Tiffany's birthday cake, It took 10 hours. Yes, I am that slow. She was very suprised with it. I had told her I was making cupcakes.

Here's some little flat dolls from Sewing by Sarah. Always love her patterns. This one gave me a little problem, took me a couple of tries to figure out what I was doing.

what a find

I saw a really old handmade dollhouse decorated for christmas. I really wanted one, but the prices were really high. I found this for $8 at Carehelp. I haven't decided if I am going to fill it only with vintage, or if I will mix that with modern. Oh, the possibilities. I want to add windows and a door to the front, and a little fence area to put an outdoor Christmas tree. I think I will try to attach a Gazabo to one side. Do you know you can find marble flooring for the dollhouse. wow

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.
