A New Dress From an Old Book

At her picnic Charlotte was wearing a new dress and it has a story, so here it is... my Oma, great grandma, is also an artist.For many years she has inspired me and many others. She loves to sew and has tons of patterns. A few months ago she gave us a binder full of doll clothes patterns!


The dress Charlotte liked was for a ten inch doll so I had to shrink it but other than that it was perfect. Using silk and french lace I started to sew and found out that sewing things that tiny is REALLY hard, but also that I am better at it than I thought I would be.


It turned out wonderful and I learned a lot. I think could sew any thing after that. I also sewed a vest for her husband, it is way too hot here in Arizona to go around wearing a corduroy coat.

A Late Summer Picnic

School is back in and its hard to find time to just sit and relax. With all the hustle and bustle it's easy to lose myself, too busy to smell the roses, to hurried to notice the sunrise. Fortunately there are those fleeting moments I find to enjoy a late summer picnic.


Charlotte has pile of new acsessories from the Bits of Goodness fairy house swap. The quilt and pillows, basket of fruit, doily, dishes, and fairy baby were perfect for an afternoon outing.Thank you all for sharing your beautiful creations with me.
