Digging through my stash ~

I absolutely LOVE, love old doll clothes.

No, not those made overseas but those made by

mamas and grandmamas to please their little girls!!!

I have a teeny collection and thought I would go to it for inspiration

for a dress for my sweet art doll.

Guess what I found???

The tiniest pair of panties EVER!!! And they actually FIT

over the chubby belly that I gave my sweet girl dolly.

Then I went through all the doll dresses.

I wanted to find the perfect one that I could transform for her.

I found the most WONDERFUL antique pink one!!!

Now I have to try to make a dress for my small doll from this big dress...

but I think the color will be just beautiful on her!

Can you see it in your mind's eye? :)

Emily had a parent/teacher conference with Clara's kindergarten teacher and

brought our precious grandbabies by so she could go.

Murray and Clara BOTH flocked to Uncle Noah...and Murray just crashed!!!

Clara saw this and decided to lay down too!!

Uncle Noah?

He thinks he has the magic touch!!!!

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday my sweet, sweet friends!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

A little fall cleaning ~

I don't know why, but my studio can get in worst shape SO fast!!

I make piles upon piles and eventually,

you can't find a thing and it hurts your eyes!

Then I avoid it.

So it was time to do a little straightening....

It's still way too overcrowded but I'm going to be working on that....

 This is the pic that will hurt your eyes....there's way too much junk on those

little wire shelves by my desk. And don't you love the pretty duster in the foreground? :)

A pile of mending I need to get to ~

My sweet wax girl overlooking it all ~

I had this little cabinet in my antique space (which we've moved out of)

and started working on it ~ it needed a new paint job and maybe something

wonderful inside the door panel?

My fave little doll dress ever, hanging around to make me smile ~

I've always loved this old basket too ~ it looks like it could be a doll bed to me.

Another sweet mascot cheering me on:

"clean this dump up!"

Well, this weekend our son David is moving out of our house

and in with his brother, Brad ~

I've really enjoyed him living here with us

but it was only supposed to be temporary.

I'll be playing in his old room (now the guest room),

straightening up and cleaning it as well.

I hope to add a few more storage pieces in there for fabrics and such

to relieve some of the excess clutter in the studio!

I hope you're having a wonderful week sweet friends...

the weather here has been so nice, low 80's for the temps

soft breezes and I've noticed the sun setting earlier each day ~

Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday precious friends!!!
hugs and love,

Dawn
