And then there were three...dolls that is




Meet the new addition, the first little boy. His skin is made from fabric that I died with some tea bags, his shirt and buttons are from Geoff's Hawaiian shirt he never wore, his jeans are an old pair that, well, didn't fit anymore and his shoes are a cool fern pattern that I found at Joanne's. Oh, his hair is corduroy from an olds jacket of Geoff's.

I really have no idea what I'm going to do with him or name him, any suggestions? You know, if I put some glasses on him, he'd look like my Dad!!

Freezing in Flip Flops

Proving once again that women are at the mercy of fashion, even in freezing weather, Nat sports the summer sandal and spurns the impending frost bite.
Annie's hopes for spring weather are evident in her whimsical floral ensemble and stunning matching bag.

Mom and Dad threw on something at the last minute and raced to take pictures in the flurry of Resurrection Sunday excitement.

A good time and much candy was had by all

Annie's Lilly

Evangeline

My first whirl at doll making. her dress and shoes are made out of an old dress of Nattie's and her hair is an old dress of Annie's. She's named after of of the actresses on 'Lost' because I was watching old episodes the whole time I put her together. I gave Evangeline or Evie to Nattie for an early birthday present, Annie's is almost done now and we're calling her Lilly. I have to say, it's been a lot of fun, but man I want a sewing machine!!

She's a tapper at heart

Yes, she's ready for tap and she's sporting the side ponytail. And notice, she's old enough to opt for the less-than-authentic half smile. How will the world keep turning without her open mouthed exuberance?

One donut a day, and everything's gonna be OK...


I don't know what's posessed me to post this, but I just love the photo. UMMMM.

Sock Monkeys and Leg Warmers

I found this handmade doll maker online and I just fell in love with the color and personality of them. I'm going to try my hand at it eventually, once I learn to use a sewing machine.**sigh**. There's just only so much I can do with knitting unless I want to make sock puppets (no,you're right Matt, it's sock MONKEYS) which I'm not too crazy about. I was thinking I could design something that included little knitted leg warmers in various colors. Wouldn't little tiny leg warmers just be crazy cute?

Monkeyshine on the move

With doll and cuddle blankie, Monkeyshine is on the move! By the way, that's what I call her. She is a prankster at heart:) just like her daddy. She's been wearing her hair in these Minney Mouse ears, and she just is so precious, I had to share.

Which Lost Character are YOU?

Which Lost Character Are You?

More on Lost. Created by BuddyTV

I got Locke the first time, but then went back when Geoff took it and I realized that I'd read some of the quesions wrong. So, Geoff is Jack and I'm Juliet. Sweet.
