Happy New Year To You...

Prims Magazine

and she ask if I would submit my 
 "Lilly" 
 for their publication. 

And I did of course... and she made it into their Winter 2012 Issue!!!
Oh, Happy Joy!
I didn't know this was going to feel so good to see
one of my dollies in print, in one of my favorite magazines.
But it does, it feels real good to be among the other Artist in this Magazine, 
I am so very grateful.

and so proud of
my Lilly.

Happy Thanksgiving...

Well, I'm a day late, but I had a good reason, spending time with those I love enjoying our Holiday.

A little cooking, a little sewing, a bit of this and a bit of that.

 I just want to wish everyone a 

Happy Thanksgiving Holiday.

Hope you enjoyed yours as much as I did. 

Family, great food and good fun.

 I've got a lot of Santas to make still, and enjoying every minute of it. I love this time of year. 

You can also find a collection of my Santa's at 

~The Cottage~ 

 in Historic Leesburg VA.

So, back to sewing again for me. 

Enjoy your Holiday weekend.

Around the Corner...

Yep,Everything is just around the corner. Most especially the Holidays that we all love so much.  

Time is running and it isn't waiting for me.

It really feels like yesterday I was on Vacation, driving to Hilton Head, South Carolina and the Temps were at 104 degrees. 

And now the chill of Fall, and there is a Rainbow of Autumn colors in the trees outside my window. 

 I am working on Santa dolls all day, everyday. It's a good thing I love what I do and love Creating new things.

A collection of my OOAK Santa creations can be found at 

The Cottage 

in Historic Leesburg Virginia.

Also, my new November offerings for 

PfattMarketplace 

will be added soon, November 10th, at 1pm Eastern.

So I'm off to create more...

Santa Fall...

Where Oh Where as all my Blogging Time Gone...

Where Oh Where can it be?

 My sewing room smells of Sweet Annie and Cinnamon.

It's Autumn and I'm all wrapped up in it.

I had a great Summer, 

but am so looking forward to this Fall Season.
But like usual, I'm already behind.

I'll be sharing a lot more soon here on my blog and can't wait to do so.

Before & After...

I've had my hands to work on a few of those things
that ya always say 
"I gotta get to that"

Well, I'm getting to it. HA!

I have wanted to redo this cabinet for quite some time. 

Before...

From this.

( Believe it or not, I got this in the mid 90's...looked 70's-ish, ya?.)

After...

To This.

Just a little paint, and sanding.

A fresh piece of glass for the front and a bit of 

Hand dyed paper from Netty LaCroix.

 Strange, I wanted to up dated it, to make it look older.

 Re-Purposed, Well done.

Great Vacation...

Don't you just love 

those Vacations that really do 

what they are supposed to do, 

Chill you out?

Well, that is what we had. 
I hardly even pick up my Camera. 

Just Relaxed and Enjoyed.

I did take a few pictures when we first arrived at Hilton Head Island.

 But this is about it. 

Very Chill, I think I want my Vacation Back.

Now time to get back to this...

Making Fall and Holiday Goodies.

Yep, its that time of year.

past work...

Oh how I love Vacations...

and My Job.

It's Summer Time...

Keeps us busy, 

 

 off and playing. 

Enjoying these beautiful Summer days, and evenings...

Hope you are too.
