full of hope . . .

I have to take better photos of her for the giveaway, but I 

wanted to share a picture of my little earthy flower child doll.

Hello Spring!

made with love . . .

I was invited to be part of a doll giveaway on Instagram.

The theme is "floral fantasy".  I actually had a doll started that I could make work for that.  

That not only saved me some time as far as getting a doll finished by the deadline . . . 

but it also worked to get myself busy finishing a doll that I started awhile ago,

but had never finished.   (What that is all about - I don't know.)  

Anyway . . . I am glad I finally had the motivation to get her done.  

I think she has more of an Earth Day look to her . . . so I am working on the "floral fantasy" part.  

Either way . . . she will be part of the giveaway.

I will have complete pictures of her soon. 

Happy Friday!

unicorn photo frame . . .

I haven't posted in so long . . . and I am not really sure why, other than I am busy, 

but I'm almost always busy - so that is no excuse.

So time to get back to posting . . . 

I had forgotten that I hadn't posted pictures of Avery's birthday . . . or of the photo frame that I made for her 1st birthday party.  In case it isn't obvious . . . the party had a unicorn theme.  

The frame was really fun to make . . . except for using glitter spray paint to paint he main part of the frame . . . the cans kept clogging.  I think they need to design a better nozzle for glitter paint.

Three weeks later . . . and I am still seeing glitter in my house.

Happy Birthday Avery!
