New Sewing Room!

Well I had to expand my space! New sewing room coming up! Yeah! Of course I am excited. Next it will be a true store. But alas I have a work assignment from February to June. But it's all good. Extra finances will go well with a new doll business. I am making my list! Starting with fixtures to hold my stuff. Shelves will be built. Curtains will be made. I have 2 wonderful windows with wonderful sunlight. I am so excited. Goals don't you love them? LOL!

Baby it's cold outside brrrrr!!!!

Well on this frosty tuesday in January nothing like re-arranging your sewing room to create bigger and better things. I had to go from one secret place to another. But a bigger secret place if there is such a thing. Hope to complete this tiny project by the weekend. Enjoy your day!!!

Creations

Finishing a prim for Saturday's big event! Day with Dolls is here! Finishing up a prim for show and tell. It takes the mind, body and soul. The idea starts in the mind, the body gets it into action. The soul produces the creation.
