The doily and things

I can't believe I almost cut up this doily...it's been sitting in front of my sewing face for months and several times I reached for it. Today I really noticed it's beauty for just what it was.
Also I must have read some of John Bellairs books as a kid but I can't remember! I know I knew of him. Anyway my daughter brought home a discarded book from the school library, The Chessmen of Doom, by John Bellairs and I started reading it one day because I was stuck somewhere with nothing to do and oh wow! He's wonderful! He is completely the kind of writer I would have read back when I was a kid but for whatever reason I just can't remember the stories, just the covers...whatever the case, I am happy to be reading them now :)

My workroom today

I love red and pink. This is a new girl that is waiting to be finished. Tomorrow probs.
 Life is busier lately, the kids have more to attend and I am the driver. Besides that if they catch a cold they catch them back to back so I have had a constant companion home for 12 days now, sheesh :D
It's life.
Spring is officially here! The sun is out like mad. The gardens around the city are just bursting with color. The color is beautiful and energizing :)

Beautiful weather

The weather was perfect here today in Portland :) Dolls are still hanging around waiting to be finished. I have a few more things to finish up around here and I can get back to a regular doll making schedule! I miss it but the break has been needed, you know how that goes :D
