Just thought I would share!

custom dollies

These little dark skinned dollies turned out pretty darn cute:)The middle one is becoming quite popular in the shop. I have to make a 3rd one this week:) I also want to make some darker skinned ones for the shop, what do you think?

The little dollies are now off new their new homes:)

I had a busy weekend of decorating the tree and house, wrapping presents, sewing and much more. Now I need to get my orders done to be shipped out tomorrow................another late night for me.

I am lovin Etsy right now!

This is my favorite ornament and it is in the "GIFT GUIDE" on Etsy!!

Super fun!!

My sister had me make this doll for one of her friend's daughter. She turned out adorable:)

I forgot to take pictures before I gave it to her, she was so nice to do it for me:) Thank you Stacy!!!

Tomorrow I will have pictures of the 3 custom dollies that will be mailed out today......................unless I forget:/

Have a great weekend!

Have a happy Thursday everyone!

Santa's workshop!

My studio definitely feels like Santa's workshop right now. It has been so hectic with everyone having the stomach flu. I am now the only one left to get the awful sickness:/ In the meantime this is what I have been busy doing.

There is really bad lighting on this side, so sorry for the bad picture.

The ornaments are selling so fast. Luckily I have a few of them already cut up and ready to sew. I hope I have some left to give as gifts:)

These ones are one of my favorites to make.

This one is waiting to be stuffed. I was crazy busy the other night making stuff for the shop. I made 13 owls, like 20 ornaments (can't remember exactly), 4 dolls and 5 mini owls!!!!! Some of the owls were bookends.

A few of them have sold already. I enjoy making these as well:)

More projects to finish. Dollies are the most work out of all the little creations in my shop, besides the quilts.

I am so grateful that I get to bring these to the post office twice a week and sometimes more:) LOVE what I do!

Here is a cute picture of Preston as Hockey:)

He is doing sooo much better this year. No laying on the ice yet:)

Today is another busy day of bringing Preston to school and working on the dollies while Jonathan takes his nap, only to be woken up in a couple of hours to go pick Preston up and then Corrina and Carmen from school and then back to the middle school to pick up Corrina!!! Lots of running around with all these little kids. What else would I be doing?

Have a great day!

I am Thankful for these special people:)

And for everyone being flu free for 24 hours and counting! I am so happy that the flu did not ruin our Thanksgiving. Wednesday I had 2 sick boys, so we were wondering who would be next...............no one yet:)Here are some high-lights of our thankful day!

A little nut cracking:)

2 pail but HEALTHY boys!

This little boy is getting ready for his nap so us big kids can play a HECTIC game of Pictionary.

Preston did so good at guessing what the pictures were and drawing them. He had a little help.

They almost won!! I know, a lot of pictures of Preston, but he looked so dang cute in his outfit I took the most pictures of him I realized.

Little Jonny-be-good, woke up from his nap in time to watch dad build a fire (his favorite....Jonathans too:)) Also it is one of my favorite times of the day for a few minutes of quiet at least.....................................................

MOVIE AND POPCORN TIME!!!!! Believe me, they do NOT sit through the entire movie:/

Time to eat!!!! We had a ridiculous amount of food!

We were going to have some of the family come over, but with the flu bug in our house we decided best not to infect anyone else. We will be eating turkey for days!!!

When I was loading up the pictures I realized that I did not take a picture of all the kids together:/ Holidays are a lot of work around here!! Maybe Christmas:)

I have added some new Christmas ornaments to the shop!!!!

These are 3 out of the 6 new ones. I also added these little minis:)
I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

My Christmas Elves

Ok, maybe they are not all helping, but they all like to try:)

I had to get out the big table so they all could help. As you can see some chose other places to sit. (don't mind the walls, it used to be my daughters bedroom) Matthew was hunting and I have soooo much stuff to work on, I thought I would include them in the fun.

Carmen filling the mini's with beans:) Corrina stuffing the mini's for a custom banner.

Here are some that got done that are now in the shop!

Sugar the Owl
Sweet Sugar the mini owl
Aren't they cute?:)

Christmas ornament. She is the only one with a belly. I have a lot more I need to get busy on!!!!! I should really get off the computer. Have a great rest of the weekend!
