Lulu

a little 12” hand knit dolly I just finished, the pattern is designed by “Dollytime”

I made her a little Christmas dress too.  Both dresses were supposed to have the picot hem, as in the Christmas dress but I liked the way the one she is wearing rolled up on the edge so I left it.  I will add  white ribbons to the dress below.

 

I don’t know whether to trim her pig tails or leave them long….

This is an adorable pattern an so easy to knit.

I used wool for her clothes and a wool/silk blend for her body.  I added a little rosette as a wristlet.

She even has little panties   ~too cute~

And Mary Janes  with a tiny black button on her strap, white socks with a little blue stripe at the top.

Thanks Wendy !

Veterans Day 2009

On February 8th 2006 at Arlington National Cemetery my parents arrived at their final destination in this life. My Dad was entitled to a ceremony with Full Honors. The military life was a good one, I learned a lot from it.

This was a sad ending to a happy life and I have many, many wonderful memories of times spent with my parents.

I miss you two……………..

Happy October Memories

Roxy and Riley are not in jail anymore, they broke out the same day, these pups keep me hoppin!

I finished a couple Raggedy Anns .

All of my Wool Garden blocks are pieced together and the border on. I will hand quilt outlining everything since the rest of the quilt is all stitched by hand. It’s working up pretty fast and I love this BOM from Farmhouse Woolens.

We had some pretty sunrises here this month.

And colorful foliage too

Dogwood berries

Pretty grasses

Winterberry, soon all the leaves will fall off and just the berries will be left.

Now it’s time to bake cupcakes (lemon cupcakes with strawberry frosting are a pretty yummy combination),

and pies,

and apple dumplings, I'm ready for the cool weather!

Sometimes we have two, sometimes we have four, sometimes we have six, but usually not more.

I love my family,
