Real or not real

It was cold and wind was blowing felt like it could snow any time.I really felt liked making a homemade pie.Instead of the apples from a can and crust you just roll out from the frig.So hubby and I went to the fruit market and bought some apples.He helped peel and core while I made the pie dough.Hate to say how long it's been since I did this, but it's been at least 30 years.Wow that sounds awful can't believe how fast time has gone by.I've also make the salt dough pies and they looked good enough to eat.Can you tell the difference from the pics?Yes I know you can.The fakes look better lol.I forgot to brush the tops so they would brown,but they sure did taste good.

Today I am going to do some sewing.I cut out a snowman or woman yesterday.It's sewed up and ready for stuffing .Thats when it will start speaking to me what it wants to be.I'll post some pics when I know more.

Have a great day...............Diane

Pity party is over

I am so sorry I made that last post.I tried to delete it but did'nt know how.I have so much to be thankful for and hate when I get in those horrible moods.Why is it so hard to do the things you know will help.For me it's getting my bible out and just start reading or just taking the time to spend a few mins talking to the Lord.
I had my birthday on the 25th.I have to take pics of my present from my son and hubby.Its one of the faux fireplaces.I love it.I wanted one for years but would'nt get one.With my hubbys health we can't have a real one any more so this works fine for us.It looks so real unbelieveable.The kids got me things for me and for my house.They know I love candles needless to say I got those a light up makeup mirror(eyes aren't what they use to be lol),and other things I was really surprised.I am so blessed to have such thoughtfull children and grands also a couple greats lol.
I got all my rooms cleaned and that was such a worry.It's something how things can work on your mind and you don't even realize it.Every time I thought of doing something I really wanted to do like dolls or crafts.First thing popped in my mind was these rooms I really needed to take care of.My bedroom, our sons ,and my doll room.I really did'nt finish them since we moved in 1 yr ago.Well they are done and what a relief feels like a ton off my shoulders.
I don't have pics this time but will post some in my next post.Have a great day and blessing to each of you...................((HUGS))

In a pit and can't get out

I know I am not the only one that feels like this at times but it's just lasting to long.I have all these thoughts of dolls I'd like to do but thats as far as I get.I just sit and do nothing about it.I did do some much needed cleaning yesterday and felt good about that.I thought maybe with that done I'd get into my dolls today.I hate being like this.Went to the Dr a couple weeks ago and he put me on depression meds and it has helped to a point.I am not having the panic attacks like I was but still can't seem to get into my dolls.I live making dolls and creating so whats wrong???????????? I've already missed out on Halloween and if I don't soon get moving I miss Thanksgiving and Christmas.Sorry for going on like this but just had to get it off my chest and wondered if anyone else was going thru this.What did you find to help or does it just take time ??????????

I am my own worest enemy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have procastanated halloween away and probablly will the rest of the holidays.I do this all the time and it makes me so mad at myself.I get all these ideas for dolls and I know they are good ones but thats as far as I get.I love looking at everyone's blogs and things.It even makes me feel like getting busy BUT when I get away from the puter I don't do anything.It would be so nice to have a friend that was into dolls or crafts but I don't.My mom and I did alot together but she's been gone since 93.I still misss her so much.

I have somethings started some finished that just need a little finishing touch.I thought maybe getting 1 out this evening and finishing it up would help me out of this awful pit I am in.

Finally listed a doll and pics of Kittens

I finally got my doll listed on ebay.She's here of you would like to see her......

I just loved making her she's so much prettier than the pics but the best I could do.

It is so cold and windy today a good day to stay in with a hot cup of coffee and work on dolls.This is the time of the year I love the most.The leaves are turning and starting to look so pretty.I'd like to start putting some decorations up by this weekend.Just seems like there's not enough time in a day to get everything done.

A cat thats been living under our house (she adopted us).Had 5 kittens and Ibrought them in and have been taking care of them.We are trying to find them a home.They are adorable and so playfull.I'd like to keep them but can't keep all.We are keeping the cream colored one.He's the odd ball of the bunch.

They are so comical and playfull.our little dog would chase them around playing with them.Now they turned it around and chase him they have a ball.We do too just watching them.I have a friend thats trying to help find homes for them.I sure hope she can cause they would be so much enjoyment for some one and deserve a good home.

Fall is in the air and I am glad !!!!

I am sorry I hav'nt posted before this but Aug.has been an awful month for me.Mostly the heat I just can't take it like I use to.It seems I am not alone in this others have said the samething so I don't feel to bad about it.

This is my favorite time of the year even into winter when all the snow is blowing you won't hear me complainning at all.It's cooling off and now you can see the shadows of fall.Soon the leaves will be turning and the mountains around here are beautiful.

I have a couple dolls finished that I will be listing on ebay soon.They are the ones I dyed the wool for and love how nice it came out.

First is the black I did into a bun......

This is the blonde I did into finger curls on top of her head....

I hope to get these listed soon so I can get on to others I have dancing in my head....Have a great day and I'll be posting more now that things are getting back to normal......
