New books

As you may or may not know, I have a new-found love of my local library.  Our library is absolutely fantastic and I take my children there often...but not too long ago I realized I can check out magazines....AND my favorite thing is the discarded books..a bag for a buck!  I LOVE old books... I love  simple illustrations. I love pasting, cutting and doodling in them to make so as you can imagine, I had a field day!!!!!  
Here are my Favorites.....
(these are too precious for an altered book, though)


GREAT Quote...appropriate for the day.............




I love child-like doodles....this book is full of silly poems and equally as silly doodles....
I also checked out a copy of Country living magazine...so all in all...today was a goooooood day!

Its contagious.......

It must be something in the air.... I sell something and then someone else wants it.... This will be the third time this has happened.  However, I don't use a pattern...I just fly by the seat of my pants, so to speak. So tomorrow, I will be working on duplicating two of my adopted Dolly's. I hope it goes well.
Tonight, however, I worked on creating a sort-of custom Dolly for a friend of mine......If she doesn't dig her, she will be listed in my Etsy shop..... Here she is....she will remain nameless for now....


Now to clean up the thread and polyfil.....
Until tomorrow!

Supply and Demand

Before I start my busy Mommy day, I had to list little Monster Benicio...he has been sitting patiently on 'the dolly shelf' for his big unveiling to the world. Now he can breathe deep..he is listed in my Etsy shop...
Now, off to gather more supplies for more creating.......   =)

Fantastic day...

It's days like this that are my favorite of all.... My little guy slept late so that was a treat...me and my little men made up some hanging baskets and then headed over to the beach with our good friends! Top it off with ice cream and time outside with Dad...and our day was complete! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
Now that the kiddies are in bed my sewing machine is calling................
And I need to take this call...............

Holiday weekend....

With the Easter Holiday weekend quickly approaching.... I should be boiling eggs, stuffing tiny treasures into little plastic eggs and laying down that annoying plastic grass in two very special baskets...but instead I sit here on the interwebs sipping hot tea.....
I was fortunate enough to make a new dolly last night and list it in my Etsy store...
Her name is Rue and she makes me pucker with delight. I found some great treasures at Columbus Market yesterday and was anxious to use some of them...

Now, I just can't wait to get creating again....

Happy Holiday Weekend!
