Crochet Dolls, Different Blankets and More !

Sade Blake & Ada Belle

 The top photo is my doll my Mom made me,  now keep in 

mind, I was an adult.  I love her to pieces.  Just a couple of 

weeks ago I decided to make Sade Blake her own doll. And 

of course I named her Ada Belle.  What fun I had crocheting.

So now we come to the two dolls in the window. The one on the left is a Faery Doll.  She has wings all over her.  I tried to make her simple because she is so full of magic it's scary.  Scary in a good way.  Speaking of scary the one sitting beside her is really adorable but  lets face it, her eyes !  Yikes !  She is the all seer.  You know what I mean.  She knows and sees it all.  I do love to make the dolls.  Each time I try to do it a little different.

This next picture, I'm going to make me a quilt.  Not your usual one.  I will take pictures as I go along so you can see what I have in mind.  Right now I'm working on a square that has a pillow cover. The pillow itself is long gone but I have kept the cover as it was my poodles.  Her name  was Sade Blake and I loved her to pieces.  She would sleep with this pillow all the time.  I have made a big S in the center for both Sade and Sampson Drake.  He was also a  poodle.  I'm deciding whether I should put the red heart on it or not.  Haven't decided yet but do want to add ribbons and lace .   Now we come to the last photo.  On the right is a Shawl I made and I love how the yarn looks.  It's very soft as it's the baby yarn but it's even shiny too.  I had most of a skein of white left and most of a skein of green in baby yarn also.  So one side is white the other is green.  I, myself, think its a pretty combination but   maybe I should have made it more of stripes.  Oh well, it's made now.
The one on the left, I am making for my Daughter.  It's a Prayer Shawl.  I found the  pattern on the internet, of course.  It was such a  beautiful story about the shawls and  has meaning for you no matter your  choices in your spiritual life.  What would be better when your sad,  upset, or just deep thinking, you put the Prayer Shawl around you and it's like, who ever you believe in, is hugging you right now and telling you everything will be A-OK.  Now that's what I'm talking about.     Tootles

Sky View !

 I took these photos in Chico a couple           months ago.  I was really surprised how good they turned out.  It really did look like that but you know how it is, the picture doesn't do it justice.  Wanted to share.

 This photo of Welcome my Granddaughter took outside my front door.  Her Boyfriend edited it.  I love it.  I like to take pictures around my yard and of course of my animals.


As you can see my sweet Elviria has found a comfy spot to take her naps. Right in my crochet basket.  I watched her crawl in there, how careful she was, after all it is under a table.  What a kitty cat !  Tootles

Music and Travel !

an

 Piano keys, it reminds me of piano lessons when I was in 3rd Grade.  I would be  practicing my lessons trying my best and of course I would  hit the wrong key and from somewhere in my house I would hear, ah Oo.  My Mama.  To be honest it didn't really bother me that much.  I just kept on playing in a way I think I liked it that she was paying attention even though afar.

Several years ago she brought that up and apologized for doing that.  That is an example of what us Mothers do to  ourselves from raising our kids.  We go over different things and wish we made different  choices but you see I  was okay with her doing that.  So it just goes to show you, maybe you should look at it another way.

Now for the travel !  Paris would be my choice.  What a beautiful city and the History, well what can I say.

No, I have never been there, hey maybe someday but as I have said before a girl can dream.
