Are you ready for Valentines Day?



Well, I'm not! lol! I never am. I don't need the chocolate and hubby can't have the chocolate, unless it is sugar free. Plus I am just too tired to do anything for it. Not that I don't love him. I must. Or I still wouldn't be married to him after 36 years.

But I am worn out. I figured I haven't slowed down since Thanksgiving. Holidays and working on the rental property has just about finished me off. I hardly have any time to myself or for my love of the arts. I have to say we have knocked out the majority of the remodeling and am down to finishing touches. We had carpet laid last week. They did three bedrooms and the living room. Gorgeous stuff! Makes me want to work on my house! NOT!

But here are a few of the things I have down in the last few weeks besides home repairs. I like them. Hope you do.

I am so aggravated!



Well, I had started out saying good morning, good morning! But that all changed after I had written for a half hour, posted a pic and was getting ready to write some more when Netscape kicked me to the curb. Lost it all! Sigh! So now I get to start all over again. Great! My memory, not being what it use to be, has already forgotten what I said! lol! Oh well, here we go! I am waiting for the sun to pop out today. Drinking coffee, looking out the window between the slats of my dirty blinds. I should be cleaning my own house, but noooooooooooo! I get to go work on the rental property later. We have spend two weekends now scraping, sanding cleaning, repairing and probably will spend another month in there. We have yet to pull up carpet and tiles and do floors. I'm hoping it all works out soon. I am so tired. I don't know if it is this crappy weather or this crappy cold. Probably both!


So yesterday, while I am patiently waiting for my work crew to show up, I decided to take some pics of my lovely Blythe dresses. I had made these months ago. No clue why I never put these on my Etsy store. Of course lately, I just think I have no clue period! lol! I put a few new ones out and low and behold! Two of them sold within 15 minutes. I just regret to say, I lost the pattern for the purple outfit. Seems my 22 month old granddaughter has happy fingers lately and everything disappears. So I think this will be a ooak. Have a look, and enjoy!

Lets make Doll Clothes!


I have been working on making my own patterns for the Blythe dolls! I have some half crocheted and with skirts. Some are all crocheted. I am hoping to improve on this line and take better photos. Here are just a few. If you find anything you like, let me know. You can reach me at www.everlastingcraftycre.etsy.com.
