Bit by Another Craft Bug

Looks like I have another craft obsession to deal with now!

Embroidery!

I finally got around to working on a vintage embroidery kit

that I got at the thrift store some time ago.

And, I'm already hooked on this craft!

My mom did this when I was young,

and I always thought it looked so hard.

Well, it's not that bad, just takes patience.

And, I love that it's something I can do while watching tv.

Sabrina has even been interested,

she did a few of the leaves.

I also have some fun finds from the thrift!

Check out this great vintage tunic!

And a yellow daisy sheet, a gob of colorful yarn, a My Little Pony,

more yarn, and two ponytail holders that look handmade.

What yummy colors! I can't wait to use that yarn! And hope to wear that new tunic this weekend! bye for now!

For Japan

With all the sadness for Japan,

I really wanted to do something special.

Actually, I had been thinking about a black haired doll

and this pretty pink felt that I'd found.

So I decided to create

"Cherry Blossom".

I also used some wonderful vintage venise lace

that looks like little flowers.

And some little vintage millinery pink blossoms at her ears.

But most of all,

I will be donating $5 of the purchase price

to the Japanese Red Cross.

Please check her out at my shop!

Spring is Coming!

It's getting a bit warmer here,

and spring is on it's way!

And, I have another Bunny Pose Doll named

April!

I gave her beautiful yellow braids!


And her dress is made partially from vintage fabric.

She definitely makes me smile,

and I hope she makes you smile too!

Check her out in my shop!

Bye for now!

Think Spring!

Ahhh, thoughts of spring!

With the snow still coming down,

I fight the winter blues

with spring time bunnies!

Meet Bonnie Bunny!

She is now available in my shop!

She has a sweet bunny outfit!

And cute bunny ears!


Check out that cotton tail!

She is ready to hop into your heart!



Check out my shop to see her!

bye for now!

Healty Eats

One of my favorite meals is this recipe for Pasta Primavera.

It's healthy, filling and and easy to make.

Here is the recipe:

PARMESAN PRIMAVERA

*1/2 pkg. whole wheat spaghetti, uncooked

* 2T olive oil

* 1 C broccoli florets (I use frozen )

*1 C sliced mushrooms

*1 T butter or margarine

* 1C chopped fresh tomatoes

*1/2 C grated parmesan cheese

* 1/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves

* 1/4 tsp. dried basil leaves

I also add a handful of fresh baby spinach if I have it.

Cook pasta, drain. Meanwhile, in large skillet over med. heat, heat olive oil. Add broccoli and mushrooms, cook just until tender.

Add hot pasta and remaining ingredients, heat thoroughly.

Enjoy!

Bye for now!

Is it Spring Yet?

Well, it may not be spring outside yet

(10" of snow outside!).

But this little doll says spring all over!

Meet Skye!
She is new at my Pretty Posh Posy shop!

I gave her sky blue hair!

And lots of pretty flowers on her dress!

She just loves to talk to the birdies!

Check her out at my shop!

Introducing....Pretty Posh Pose Dolls!

This is an exciting week for me, as I've just listed

some new dolls on Etsy!

But, these are not just any dolls, these are my absolute favorite so far!

That's because they are fashioned after my fav dolls of my childhood.

Bradley pose dolls!

They were very popular when I was a kid,

but I never had any.

So, I started collecting them recently,

and new I had to do my version someday.

But, it took a lot of trial and error.

And I decided to so my own version with a special twist.

I hope you like them!

The first two are Sweetheart and Ruby Red!

Sweetheart is all pink and pretty!


I'm having so much fun making the faces!

And Ruby Red is so sweet!

And coy!

I would love it if you could check them out at my store!

Bye for now!

The Big 1-0!

Wow! My little girl just turned 10 years old!

She decorated the cake herself this year!

And got oodles of presents!

And had all her best friends over!

And opened gifts, and opened gifts,

and opened gifts!

She had a wonderful day!

bye for now!
