The Girls Are Almost Done

I have been working on these girls for some time. I plan on using a couple of them as swap dolls for a couple of up coming doll swaps that I have joined. I love making dolls they are all coming alive with thier own personallity's. More photos will come when they are all done.

One  on the left was the Hoffman Challenge 2009 doll that just got back from traveling around the counrty for the last year. She is the only one that finished. I have a night light fire fly doll, a box doll, troll, and old lady, and a fat fairy.

Dolls are so much fun.

Garden Fresh

Spencer is really proud of the things he grew in our garden. He really liked the differant colored corn. These are our chickens all grown up really wish they would start laying eggs though. I truely LOVE My life and My family I am so blessed:)

Dragons, Fairys

I love making soft dolls and dragons and now I giving trolls a try. The dragon mearsures 17" long from the nose to the end of the tail and is jointed. I sometomes put a fat fairy riding on the back.I love making these magical creatures come alive. I hope you enjoy them :)

School Is starting but I need to keep quilting.

This first grade thing is going to be great. I love the fact that I now have a part time job at JoAnn fabrics I could just hop my fence in the back yard and be at work. having just a part time job means that I can do a little sewing without Spencer wanting something or just talking my ear off. I have finished up three little quilts trying to get a queen size paper pieced quilt done for my sister.I am also trying to get a couple dolls done. Seem as if I have hit a wall and I just need to go away for the weekend alone or with a friend a sew. Here are a few things I have been working on. This is Paul my big brother walking down his driveway I took a photo of him last year and I plan on sending it to him for his birthday at the end of the month. Here is the photo to
A mini quilt for a swap that I am doing I'm calling this Humming bird in the garden I am hoping to get 4-5 things done this weekend so more to come.

Small Quilts for swaping

I have been working this weekend on a couple quilts for a couple small quilt swaps that I am involved in. I love them both the mermaid one is almost done have to finish the embellishments.

I truely live for times like this and my passion of making a piece of art work. Love it.

Spencer The Ring Barrier

Last weekend we went to our nieces wedding were Spencer was the ring barrier. He looked so cute and did such a great job. So we had to do the dinner the night before so this is what went on that night at the church. He and Magean really had a good time waiting for the whole thing to start.
The Wedding
We really had a great time and Spencer really out did himself. He and Derick were drinking beer's {Root beer's} Sitting back and relaxing getting dressed up and having a few laughs and then kicking it up on the dance floor and catching the grooms garter All in all it was a great weeknd in portland.

Some New Baby Chicks

I thought that voice said we were going to the pool? Where's the water it's a Hot day here in Seattle and it would be a great day to go to the pool. Oh that's right baby chicks don't like the water. These are our new baby chicks they are two weeks old still to little to to be in with the teens. But needed to be close.

Deanna's Sewing Room

This is a little quilt that I made for a guild member of the Needle and I the quilting guild that I belong to. We had a Brown Bag Challenge and this is the out come of 5 fat quarters I added my own backing. The cute sewing ladies were part of the bag. We had to make a small quilt for the person that put in the 5 fat quarters. Deanna has a new sewing room and she thought it would be fun to have something to hang up on the walls. I had a lot of fun with this little project. :)
I hope that Deanna likes this little piece.
