hi blog

Thanks to all the people who have emailed me wondering if I was ok! Thanks, yes, sorry! I guess I ended up taking an unplanned blog sabbatical there. I’ve been so busy with family, end of the year school stuff, the kids’ sports and activities and life that I’ve had no time to read blogs, pin pins, take photos, make anything. But two weeks til Summer break and I have big plans. Big plans to schedule nothing and do less. Hopefully then I can attach the doll limbs that have fallen under the desk and sew faces on poor dolls who have been abandoned at the side of the sofa. I also am dying to hit a used book sale, an estate sale, garage sale, anything! Also many garden projects I can’t wait to tackle. All of which are excellently bloggable activities. So I will see you all soon!

hi

It will not get warm and Spring is crawling along. I can’t even look at those Portland blogs because I’m so envious of their Spring. We have had a few warmish days and used the opportunity to clean up the yard a bit. My kids will wear summer clothes when it’s 50 like all good Chicagoland children.

And on the craft front.. here is April’s doll. I’ll get her all put together and up for a giveaway soon.

skip dance

Phoebe does not walk anywhere. She skips or dances or leaps. I envy her energy. I'm willing myself to get up from my coffee and do some Spring clean up in the yard. Maybe if I skip out of here. Maybe the skipping creates the energy, not the other way around?

March doll giveaway

Ok, I snapped into action and made up this green haired girl for this month's giveaway. I love how her hair turned out. Wasn't sure about the green but I dig it. And I wanted to do a more elaborate outfit but in the end I just wanted to have something made, done, accomplished. I love this fabric I used for her skirt. I feel like I've had it ever since I started blogging, and every time I pull it out I want to use it. So, anyhoo, if you're interested in having Miss Cheerful Spring here come and live with you just leave a comment. And US only please, because of the shipping costs. Thanks!

*** Sadie, you're my winner! Thanks everyone, I'll get started on April's doll this week. ***
