I took one gagillion photos today. Scarily most of them were of myself. yikes!
And I have many many more pictures to take… had a great thrifting trip
today and have a ton of new-to-us kids books to click through. But
Boxcar’s awake now so I can just get this one up today – thrifted polka dot fabric,
finished mini quilt and cutie Polish Joli doll from Joy. I love her so much, thanks Joy!!
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
Love that mini quilt! It’s beautiful.
I love that doll, so sweet !! Clarice
Everything is just so cute. You find fantastic things.
Oh I remember those Polish dolls!! They used to have them at the camp shop at Loft Mountain Campground on the Skyline drive. Every summer my sister and I would buy at least one – they were so inexpensive (75 cents comes to mind, but that I almost can’t believe that myself – I’m not THAT old!). Anyway yours is adorable – enjoy!
well, if the rest of them are as good as this i cant wait until tomorrow! i am so into red right now.
That quilt is lovely! I have gone thrifting mad. You know it has happened when you look at a lovely piece of fabric and think maybe $2 is a little too much and you wish it were in the $1 bin instead. 🙂

Self-portraits? Very brave! I haven’t done those yet- still trying to build myself up for it : ) “um, I’m looking natural, camera… this is how I always look..” I have much to get over before I am there! HA! Love the polka dot fabric!
So beautiful!
The quilt, the fabric and the doll look beautiful! Glad you had a good day. Have fun looking at the new books. {I’m sure your photos are great}.
I have none of these dolls and need to change that very soon. I heart them and did so when my best friend growing up had them (a ton of them) and I didn’t. early jealousy! and the quilt is so very very sweet!
