My little sister, Brenna!

I had Brenna come over the other weekend. During the school months, she doesn't get to come very often. And now that she has a boyfriend, she would rather be with him. But, whenever she comes I enjoy it. She is only 14, but I bet one day, when she is older, we will be the best of friends. She comes to help out with my five children, she especially likes holding Jonathan:) This time we did a little fun make-over. I thought she looked great, she had another opinion.
Her purple make-up.

The new Brenna:)

Too cute:)

I need to get busy on some more inventory, so have a GREAT DAY!

A custom order

I finally finished these 2 little dollies for this sweet lady. Her daughter is in band, so she went and picked out the cute musical fabric and I did the rest. Now I just have to finish the pillow she wants:)

Have a great day!

UGLY wall paper is coming down.

After living here for almost 9 years, Matt and I finally tackled the job of taking down the ugly wall paper in our living room. Our living room is pretty big so the job just seemed too much, but it's actually not that bad. That is maybe because Matt is doing most of the work:) I did some and my shoulder started getting really sore, so I left it for Matt. I think he secretly likes doing it:)

The fireplace will also needs to be painted.

See the big long patch work going down the entire wall? From there, and all the way to the other side of the door by the wall sconce , that whole wall is going to be taken down, which will reveal the upstairs. Oooh, I can't wait.

Now we just have to decide what color to paint it. I have a hard time deciding when there are so many choices. Any ideas?

It's been too long!

I haven't blogged in awhile! I hurt my shoulder, which has effected my entire arm and hand. I finally finished 1 of the custom orders last night. I have to wear this ugly cast looking thing on my thumb and part of my hand. Luckly I can take it off. My shoulder always hurts and at night my hand goes numb, YIKES! But, I will be fine and it will heal, in about 3 weeks:( I have 3 other custom orders that I have to get busy on, but I thought I would show you the one I finished and will be shipped off to his new home today!

This is for a little boy, with his name embroidered on his back side.

Sophie will also be going to a new home today.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Finally finished!

These little dolls took me way longer then I thought. Those little boys are hard to make, I enjoy making the girls way better. I have a favorite boy and a favorite girl, which one do you think it is? Tell me your favorite.

Birthday Owl!

Here is the Owl I made for Carmen's friend. She is going to her birthday this Saturday. I hope Jordin likes it, I know I do:)

More pictures of the soon to be, "SUNSHINE KIDS"

Well, I did not finish these yet like I wanted to. I was so tired last night, we went to bed early, which we never do. We are night "owls". We can stay up until 2 and then have to get up with kids at 7 for school.........gee, and I wonder why I am so tired. I have been multi tasking today, more then usual. I am working on the dolls and Carmen's friend's owl. Tonight is movie night for Matt and I, so I like to have something I can sew by hand while "spending time" with Matt.

Here are some pics of the boys and a pic of all the little dollies waiting to be stuffed and a little sweet something added to each one:)

The boys, waiting for their legs and arms to be sewn in. These boys are so much work than the girls. They have more material, so sewing their arms and legs in, is like having a wrestling match:(

You can't see their little smiles in this pic, but they do have one:)

The "SUNSHINE KIDS" waiting to be stuffed. Sorry about the bad pics.
