I love the look on H's face.

Today

I got mad at the hair today. (Wow, what a sentence. Who knew?) I decided to rip it all out and start anew. Again no picture. You'll just have to wait.

They started on our chimney today. We're having it rebuilt. The mason has finished his work so now we have a spectacular looking chimney jutting up to the sky. I'm impressed with their brick matching. flawless. Tomorrow, weather permitting, they will install the liner and stove. Then I'll really be ready for Fall.

Yes. I know. I promised. But she's just not ready yet. Tomorrow. really.

for sure

I intended to have pictures for you dear internets of my first doll but I'm having quite a time with her hair. It's just not going as planned. You know when you think you have a great idea and well, it's not living up to expectations? This is where I'm living currently. Oh, in the end I think it will look good but it's very time consuming and tedious. You'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what I'm talking about. I did get a thumbs up from the MIL so I always have that. She likes the fabric. The fabric. The fabric. You see, I have this fabric. And well, it's someone else's throw aways. And it's not just a little. All donated to me. Cheapskate Thrifty recycler that I am I just can't bring myself to buy new fabric when I have all this perfectly good fabric on hand. Let me give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Think late 80's early 90's.
Bodaciously awesome. It's phat, NOT. (I am so so sorry.)

Wow! 3 posts about nothing in one day!

This is my desk. One half finished Westie doggie for my Mommy. An almost finished sock bunny for a certain friend who was with me when I bought the socks. Not in the photo which I'm working on downstairs is The Doll. She's my first doll. She looks a little like Tootie. We'll see. I've learned alot through the process as always.

My loving husband flew over the house tonight. He was supposed to call first but didn't. Instead he flew so low that the windows rattled. We went running outside and he performed quite the show. I've never seen one of these bank so tight.
Show off.
He does make my heart go pitterpat.

Self-portrait Tuesday

I'm still here!

I'm having some computer problems and serious withdrawl. I've been sewing like mad and will post pictures later today. really. Thanks for your patience.

back

I'm home and cleaning like mad. I don't know what's gotten into me. I've cleaned out the fridge and all the kitchen cabinets. I want to clean everything. I suppose I'm getting ready for fall and the holidays. Or maybe not. This is a very exciting post! Cleaning! I was tempted to show you a picture of my now clean and organized foodstuffs but it would only confirm that I, indeed, am OCD.

And now a reward for reading that dreadfully boring paragraph. A photo! of me and Toots in the wilds of Canada.


I promise to arting soon. I've been farting enough already.

Oh Canada!

We're off on some well needed r&r. Be back in a week.

This is what I've been busy doing thanks to the instructions on Not Martha. I'm still haven't quite got the technique down consistantly. I've got glue smears distorting the image on a couple of them. Maybe it's the glue I'm using. Tootie loves these but who wouldn't they look like candy.
