Here is a picture of small wallhanging I recently finished. This was my very first RR. The theme was "Pink and Cream". While I'm not a big fan of pink I thought the color combination was pretty. That was why I signed up. And it did turn out to be very pretty, I think!
I have more completed RR blocks that I have to do something with. One of these days. ha ha I am a very good procrastinator.
It is a hot and humid day here today, so I'll be indoors in the air conditioning again. And back to the doll that I'm currently working on. I should say struggling with!! It is my own fault though, it is an advanced pattern. I am a lot of things, but advanced certainly isn't one of them! It is a pattern from an older Soft Dolls Magazine and I just had to try it. Pictures will be posted soon.

I haven't blogged in quite some time again.... I seem to do computer time in spurts. At least I have finished some things while not sitting here!

This is a picture of a second Under the Sea block that I made. This one is for me though. It is August 21 and I took down a Christmas decoration to hang this up. How sad is that? Apparently I don't look at the walls in my own home! In my own defense these are hanging on the same wall as the stairs so it is only a partial wall. And next to them is a clock that I never look at. There is still another decoration above this wallhanging too. They are the size of postcards. It would be nice if I made something to hang above this and take the other one down. We shall see.

Nice Matters Award

Wow, I've been nominated for the "Nice Matters Award" by Pat and Jo.
Thank you ladies, you have really made my day. I have to go back and re-read the posts. I think I'm supposed to nominate more people? If so, I'll be back tomorrow with some names.

These 2 dolls will be on their way to Pat. I found the charms in Walmart and thought they were perfect additions.

A New Doll

Here is a picture of my lastest doll. Can you tell I am having fun with these dolls? I never would have guessed. Anyway, here she is in her current state of undoneness. And unfortunately, here she will sit/stand for a while. I am the proud owner of three broken sewing machines. Yup, all three broken at the same time.

It is a good thing that I like hand work or I think I'd go batty. So, tonight I'll be working on my under the sea block. The mermaid is almost done. I'll post some more pictures as I get more done.

Here is another finished doll. I didn't do any crazy quilting on this one. I used a piece of lace and added pearly beads. I think it is a softer look.
I will be sending this doll to one of my Aunts for Christmas. I'm not sure which one though. Lets see, 1 done, at least 6 to go!!
