~forever friends~


I listed this sweet set on Ebay last night, the auction will last for a week. Hope you find time to check it out.

I've been very busy sewing and have more to do so no time to chat.


Hope all is well with each of you.

~Signs of Spring???~

I know it's way too soon but do you ever find yourself, in this cold first month of the year, starting to look for that first sign, any sign at all, of Spring? I find myself walking by my flower beds everyday looking for the blades of daffodils pushing their way up through the frozen ground. When I see them it gives me hope that Spring is finally around the corner.


As I was making this Bunny thoughts of Spring kept popping into my head. Afterall, what says Spring more than bunnies or the birds starting to look for twigs, string and other soft fluffy things to build and line their nests with? So this sweet bunny, dressed in blues and creams with vintage buttons and carrying a small clay flower pot filled with grass and three blue eggs, was brought to life.

I hope she gives you hope that the warmer, softer days of Spring are on the not too distant horizon.

~Valentine & Cupid~

Things have been relatively quiet here the last few days. I've been sewing and today I finished this set. I'll be listing them on Ebay tonight.


You can click on my Ebay link to the right and it will take you to my Ebay listings. Hope you enjoy Valentine and Cupid, they were fun to make. As always, if you have any questions feel free to email me. My email address is at the top of the page.

I'm off to make some dinner and then get back to my sewing. Wishing you each a relaxing evening.

How's your week going?

It's been a busy, very cold week here in Virginia. Of course, it's been alot colder and definitely snowier in other parts of the country. Thankfully, by the upcoming weekend, our weather is supposed to be a little warmer and sunny. I say bring it on, I'm more than ready for some warmer weather!

One thing I did this week was to tweak and slightly rework my Snow Bunny. I listed her on Ebay last night. Her auction will end Wednesday the 19th. Now, I'm working on another doll for Ebay and some for a friend's shop.


Tomorrow is my Dad's 81st birthday. I'm making lunch for him, his lady friend and a couple of his cousins. So there'll be no sewing tomorrow, hopefully I'll get back to it on Saturday.

I'll let you know when I finish and list my next doll, possibly by Sunday evening. Wishing you all a great weekend.

~A Snowbunny~

This Snowbunny will be my offering for the January update on PFATT Marketplace, the clickable link is to the right or you can email me for info. The update occurs around midnight tonight, Pacific time.



I've finally gotten my Christmas things down, boxed up and put away till next year. This seems to take me so long and also seems to be more of a chore than the pre-Christmas decorating. But I finally have my house back in order.

This week promises to be another busy one but hopefully I'll find time for a bit of sewing. Now I'm off to watch Downton Abbey on PBS, hope it's as good as the preview.

~what I've been working on~

Sometimes after the holidays I'm in a real creative slump and have no idea what I want to work on. Thankfully this year seems to be different. I don't know if it's because I took a longer break before the holidays or what but I've really enjoyed working on the two snowdolls I've made so far. And wonder of wonders, I have a couple of more ideas I'm working on. At least one of them will be for the PFATT Marketplace update.

This picture is of a Snow Angel I listed on Ebay tonight, hope you enjoy her.



Back to my sewing.
