Face Embroidered


Not bad for my first freehand embroidered face! And, I haven't done much embroidery since Candace was a baby and I hand stitched little outfits for her.
Not bad for being so terribly out of practice, if I do say so myself.

What Sort of Mouth...?


Well, I'm at the point where I need to design her mouth. I sort of want a cute little old fashioned pucker, but am a bit unsure how to achieve this.
Well, here goes...!

Caleigh's Birthday Present


Well, I've started Caleigh's dolly for her Birthday in November. The dolly's body has been cut out and I've begun stitching on the little facial features.

This one was originally in the front parkway, but now sits happily along a new pond.

Time to Get Comfy?


No, not really.
Time to have Matt remake his bed he stripped earlier.
Time to comb out my hair before it dries completely with the knots in it.
Time to pull together the pattern for Caleigh's dolly (for her birthday).

Eliminate 10 Challenge


Hi! Are you doing this super-easy challenge?! It is too fun!!! All you have to do is eliminate 10 items from your home every day. Tonight I have already eliminated four (4) bath towels, six (6) hand towels and five (5) wash cloths. These will go to the 'free pile' tomorrow at work to bless someone. Some of these are still very usable as bath items while others really only qualify as cleaning rags. Regardless, I'm pretty sure someone will put each to good use!

Even after eliminating so much, I obviously have more bath towels than I can comfortably store in the space I have allotted.
So...
down the road I will eliminate more!
