Finally listed yeah

   Finally got my doll listed on ebay.Heres the link if you'd like to see more of her and Charlie.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Primitive-Folk-Art-Cloth-Doll-Sarah-and-Friend-/180520400595?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Folk_Art&hash=item2a07dab6d3  Charlie is her best friend they are always together.Sarah talks to him as if he understands everything she's saying.I've sold a few dolls on ebay and would really like to get something going there.Also one day I would love to have a website just not sure how to go about that.I'll be listing another doll in a day or so.Just a little hint she's a pretty little girl in pink..


 Today was Jordans last day of school.Now he's going into the 7th grade can't believe how fast time is going by.We got a scare today when my hubby went to the bus stop to pick him up from school.The bus went on past him did'nt even slow down.He came back to the house all upset.I called the school to see if something happened that he might have missed the bus.They said no and that all the kids were gone.What a terrible feeling I started calling his friends.Finally I got hold of one that rides his bus.She said they had a new driver and missed some of the kids stops.About that time Jordan came walking in the door.What a relief there is to many things happening to children now adays.I have prayer with him every morning cause I know I can't be with him but the Lord can.Thank you Lord Jesus...
   Wishing everyone a great day.I have to get busy having a really slow day today just can't seem to get with it...

  Sorry I have been so long in posting.Getting all my flowers and seedlings planted was more work then I planned.Ended up with a pinched nerve in my neck causing me alot of pain all the way down my arm,but I am working it out.
  Now for the best part.I am finally able to move on with my dolls.I finally got a template for ebay got it figured out and ready to post in the next day or so.As I have said before I know little about computer stuff,but it was'nt as hard as I thought.I did have to ask for help,but did do most myself.
   So I would like you to meet * Sarah and her little friend Charlie * They are so sweet I love looking at them sitting here together.
I will post the ebay link once I get them listed.I have had my dolls done for some time,but did'nt want to list them till I had a template.
Well have to go and get supper going.Tonight we are making pork chops on the grill.I love grilling and would like to find some good grilling recipes.Anyone have any they'd like to share? Have  great day...

No green thumb here, but love of sunflowers

   I don't have a green thumb at all ,but have to show you my little project SUNFLOWERS I love them.I have only grown these once years ago,but now that we are settled I decided to try them again.It is so amazing to me to see the giant flowers that just start from a small seed.To me they are happy flowers and seem to make such a strong statement when you look at them.I started the mammoths,red velvets and some mixed colors.The mammoths are my favorite.The others are new to me so we will see how they turn out.Just the day before(day 6 since I started the seeds) you could just see some green popping thru the dirt,but look how they looked at day 7

Day 8 they are above the rim of the pot.The mammoth are in the round pot,and vevets are in the square pan.I already have the mixed colored ones planted,but it's just to hot today for me to plant these.Hopefully I'll get them done this weekend.....Now this is another project I have been working on thanks to my wonderful daughter.There's no way I could have done this without her.My hubby and I was sitting on the deck and we heard this noise coming up from her house.Here she came on her tractor and cart with rocks in one load then she got another load of tools .I have to take some more pics to show you,but I am so happy with it.She had got me a bunch of plants for mothers day and we had to get them planted soon so that really got us motivated in getting these things done.Tomorrow we are suppose to work on her pond and I'll get pics of that too.
  Soon as I get my planting done I plan on getting back to my dollies.I have so many running thru my head at times it's hard to think of anything else....Have a blessed day   HUGZ Diane

Surgery was a success

BEFOREAFTERHolding her flowers

  She was all dressed and had on her little hat and ready to have her pics taken.When I was posing her she got so sad.She wanted to hold her little bouquet of flowers and could'nt do it without support.So we had a little discussion and she talked me into putting some wire in her arms.SO I undressed her and with much care I removed her arms took out all the stuffing.Measured her for the wire added that and the stuffing sewed her arms back on and now she's so happy.She said I could show you pics of her little limp arms before and after,but we have to get her all dressed before I can show  her full view which I plan on doing later today.Hehe no I am not loosing it just enjoying what I do.Hope you are too...Have a blessed day......................

Toooo many things at one time

   I can't believe how fast time flies,I hoped to have some pics of a few of the dolls I have been working on,but I did'nt get them finished yet.I have been jumping all over the place.Made a witch hat the first I ever made.I think it looks pretty good just hav'nt figured what I am going to do with the bow so pinned it on till I make up my mind.Soon as I get her done I'll post pics of my 1st witch...
Then I cut out a little mouse I love them,but don't know if I can handle working with such small pieces.
I think he's cute so far.I pinned the pieces together to show you,but before I sew him all together I think I am going to put wire in his arms and tail to make him more posable....
         I've also been thinking about doing some frogs maybe some cats too.My mind just won't settle down enough to get anything totally done is this related to spring fever????? I don't like having all these unfinished projects waiting on me.I also have 3 other dolls just needing a little finishing touches to them too.I think I'd better stop here and get to finishing these all up.Boy by writing this all down I am starting to feel so overwhelmed and thats when I get myself into trouble.So as I get them finished I'll post the pics....Then I'll move on to my next little character....So guess I better get started and get something finished.Have a great day.........

Mom money does grow on trees !!!!! and G G babies

   This was his 12th birthday can't believe how fast time is flying by.He would'nt tell us what he wanted just surprise him.It use to be easy to get for him,but now he's at that age it's so much harder.It popped in my head to make him a money tree,but how was I going to do it that he would'nt see it before his party.So I started decorating it with easter eggs for Easter he was even helping.I told him we'd finish it later after his party so we covered it up.While him and his dad went to the market I attached the money.After he opened everyones presents I told him to uncover the tree.He gave me a funny look but did it.His eye's got big as saucers when he saw the money.We did'nt like just giving him money, but he said it was the best birthday present ever.He loved everything he got and had a wonderful time.I still can't believe he's 12.We are in no way in a hurry for him to grow up.There is times he wants to be grownup and others when he likes to be babied.I guess thats the tween stage as he calls it lol...
  Thought I'd share a couple pics of my great grandbabies.Kloton,Skylynn belong to my GD Tabby and the baby baby is Destiny she belongs to my other GD Ashlie.I feel very blessed to have such sweet and healthy G G babies...
Well have to get supper on the table.I am working on a few new dolls hope to have some pic on tomorrrow or next day....Have a great evening...Hugz Diane
