First Doll!!

I taught Rhi to sew today , at first she had problems controlling the needles but a few tries later she look like and ole pro!!Her stitches are great for a 4year old..I can see her as the next generation of doll making..Scarlett modeled for me but was not too thrilled with the apron idea so we just made one..

Rhi learns to sew!!

Finished Tree!!

The girls Rhi and Scarlett finished decorating my tree..never have I let the little ones play with my ornaments but this year was an exception :} They redo every time they are here.
Scarlett likes to hold certain ones and Rhi seems not satisfied with the location of the ornaments so she redecorates!I think they did a great job overlooking a few spots that is overloaded LOL

Two of my dear friends sent me a surprise ornament..I just love them and wanted to share..
Mary O sent the egg shape and Karen Becker sent the little square.Thank you both!

Quilt Til You Wilt!

Sherry and I went to a quilting retreat back in Nov. three days of bliss.I never had so much fun, I think some of our doll retreats should try this.We stayed in cabins or the lodge if you like ( a little more expensive)
No teacher just bring you supplies and do what ever you like, some stayed up all night.Some of the ladies made thier Christmas gifts..All meals were furnished, so we didn't have to leave the building except to sleep..
I finished a quilt ,first ever and I don't even know how to use a machine, or did not until this retreat..Here are a few pic's!

Quilting fun!
