RaeLynn

I've been working for two days on a new doll. My first Prim Doll.  Sherrie has been my inspiration. Sherrie also heads up the Prim department at Cloth Doll Artistry (found on my page at the top). Without her tips and tricks, I would not have completed such a beautiful baby. I did use Patti Culea's pattern for the blouse and jumper. Thank you Sherrie.
Blessings, Janet

Wonderful Family Day

Thanksgiving has always been a time for family gatherings.  There are many memories in my head from past Thanksgivings. . . but not as many people around the table as years gone by.  It was a wonderful and Blessed day. Beginning of the line - um, see pups patiently waiting? Mom (daughter) and dad are serving.  This isn't quite the end of the line, don't forget the picture taker.
Blessings, Janet

Happy Thanksgiving

My 93 year old Daddy is having his very favorite drink - a milk shake. Bonnie, my sister and her husband took him to his favorite place. He's looking good.  Look at that cap, backward, too cool. God Bless and a most Happy Thanksgiving for all of you.
Blessings,
Janet

Angels

Thanksgiving is coming up too quickly.  Aprons aren't started - been cleaning and rearranging. It's a tiresome chore so when I am tired of it, I have to go to the sewing room and I have come up with a new Angel.  I want to take something to my daughters tree Thursday.  Not sure what it will be.
Blessings,
Janet

NASCAR Weekend in FL

This weekend is the last weekend of Nascar.  They will be running at Homestead and the Championship will be decided.  This evening my daughter Deb, husband Tom and the Grands went to a special autograph signing in Hollywood (FL). YAY!  Looks like great fun.  Blessings, Janet

ASG Project at meeting

Monday afternoon was the American Sewing Guild meeting at Laura's Sewing and Vac.  The project was, by Design by Dawn the crystal embroidery design, a lavender sachet.  This is a quick and easy present that can be done right before you go out the door.  It is fun, easy and brilliant. The sewing guild is fun, friendly and a learning experience.  Find one in your area and go see.  Blessings, Janet

My Three Girls

You know about Susie (I operated and her cataracts are now gone). When I went to a show at the fair grounds, I now also have another little one but w/o an arm.  She will be repaired.  Two nights ago my daughter found an old doll of her sisters. . . she was cold (she had put her in the trunk). . . AND she was bare butt naked. YIKES!  Is that a way to treat a doll???  I think not.  I found some 'make do' clothes and a towel until I could finish cleaning all the doll clothes I had recently found for Susie.  Now I have three girls.  No, I am NOT collecting dolls - is that what you all say?  Circumstances are such that I happen to have three dolls. As you can see, I have plenty of work to do.  Her fingernails are painted courtesy of the older sister. Don't know how to take (what looks like ink) dirt off her face.  She is rubber and she makes noises, oh, I guess we don't have to be made of rubber to make noises.  Enjoy, Blessing, Janet
