Almost finished...

I just gave out of steam!

I've been working on a few special orders and almost, almost finished

them but finally had to call it quits for the night...

A few precious babies I've given to you in the past

to use in your artwork

click a couple of times to save the largest size:

My pile of sweetness that I almost finished ~

several lavender sachets and even one needle book (not pictured)

These just need a teeny bit more embellishment and

they will be ready to go!

I just love using the wonderful old lace that I've collected over the years...

it's so beautiful and deserves to be enjoyed.

Wishing you a beautiful Wednesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

A few lovely, old things...just what I love ~

Hello dear friends!!

I guess you can tell I've been taking it easy this week...

but I do have to get back into my creative groove very soon ~

I scanned in this precious baby for you (a gift from sweet Lisa)

and blushed her cheeks ever so slightly too!!

I just have to share some wonderful gifts I recently received from Linda of Willow Nest ~

She said she had some things that she knew I'd love and

of course you know I DO!!!

She was able to bit TONS of  wonderful treasures in this little 9 x 16" pillow slip...

let me give you a little peek:

I unloaded it all and carefully laundered all of the precious fabric goodies,

French baby dresses, shirts, bibs....

I'm so in love with those two blue and white dresses!!!!

Beautiful old French ephemera and photographs ~

She told me that the bibs are from a French friend of hers when she was a baby!

All laundered, all pressed...what to do with them?

I've got to think of something ~

And just look at the teeny doll hangers...

Yes, this is the smallest, most precious doll pillow case!

Now I've GOT to make a pillow for it.

Look at the old fabric measuring tape, it's beautiful to me.

I so love this, I'll be sure to scan it and share it with you!

And I so love this red striped thingie with button holes...

it has them on each end like it was a cuff or something.

Wouldn't it be beautiful foundation for a collage???

I hope you enjoyed seeing the sweet treasures she gifted me,

you really couldn't even see them all!

Thank you so much precious Linda,

you are such an angel for thinking of me!!!

Wishing you wonderful weekend precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Sweet smiles for you ~

I thought it was high time I scanned a few goodies to give you!

Just a few babies...some I found while junkin' and some are gifts from friends ~

Just click to enlarge them and the right click to save them to your own computer...

I'm a little under the weather right now,

hope to be better soon...
it's tummy troubles again, diverticulitis is awful.

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Life is always, always changing...

We may want it to stop.

Stand still.

But it will not....

Our lives are constantly changing,

always evolving into something new!

Change can be scary but on the other hand

change can be EXCITING too!!

This will be my last post until I meet my little grandson Murray...

I've found a ton of photos to share with you too ~

We will be heading to the hospital early this morning to

cheer our son Brent and daughter-in-law Emily on...

I do pray her labor is swift, easy and that her and Murray

will both be healthy and good.

The photo below is our precious Clara when she was a newborn!

She is staying with Dennis' mom and dad (her great-grandparents) right now...

and they will bring her to the hospital as soon as Murray is born!

I couldn't help myself and made little Murray a little Mimi gift ~

a nut-brown hare....

just for him,

because I love him so, already ~

SO....

I hope and pray that the next post I give you

will be filled with precious baby photos!!!

Thank you all so much for being there and

for caring about what's going on in my life ~

Happy Wednesday dear friends!

hugs and love,

Dawn

A little baby update!

I have a baby Murray update for you sweet friends!

This little angel is now officially one week late!

Emily goes to the doctor tomorrow afternoon and it will be determined then

if they will be sent straight to the hospital for her to be induced

or they may schedule it sometime this week...

her ob only wanted her to go a week past her due date

and that week is over!!!!

So I'm thinking

it's almost SHOWTIME!!!

Thank you always, always for stopping by to see what I'm up to ~

I cherish your comments and love hearing from you!

I hope you have a wonderful Monday sweet friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
