Good Sunny morning all!

I am so excited today! It could be a manic, but I think it is the sunshine!

I am going to share two things with you today! A fabric that I absolutely fell in love and it haunted me until I bought some, I have always bought 3 yards when I didn't have a project in mind, but I am finding that is not enough for most projects for my granddaughter, so I am going to switch to 4 yards. Do you ever do that? I saw this fabric and the colors just popped, I immediately decided what I was going to make out of it, an Easter dress for my granddaughter. I controlled myself for a week and a half and then I broke down and bought it

It is so pretty in person, the colors don't come through as true in this photo, it has lime green, (my favorite for now), with darker green accents and yellow with orange and white accents. I love, love, love it. Oh and did I mention it is seersucker? Love it even more. All you people out there, my age and older, remember seersucker? My daughter hates it, but it just screams Spring and Summer to me.

These are the two patterns I have to pick from,

I like the dress overlay with the contrasting slip dress, but I am going with the little girl dress not only because it is cute, but also because it has a matching doll dress and the cute, cute, cute floppy hat too! What do you think?

I had already done all of this in my mind when I asked my baby girl for a birthday list, she is so sweet she never asks for anything. So this is what she sent me;

"Hi gramma!
I would like some extra fancy and old fashioned doll dresses and hats. That would make me sooo

happy!

Also a red and white "Gone with the Wind " kind of dress with a stick-out petticoat, if you can

even find (or make) one.

A booklight is something i've been wanting for a while.
Well, if i think about anything else i'll let you know.

Love you too!
Jessie"

How perfect is that? I have the "Gone With the Wind" pattern and some fabric, but that will be a future post.

Did I tell you I have a bad habit of buying fabric and crafting projects and never doing them? Well I do. So I have a collection of 40 years of fabric, etc. on hand, but I will have to buy some doll dress patterns. My favorite shopping place for patterns is garage sales in season and Thrift shops in the fall and winter, and my home away from home JoAnn's fabrics has the best sales on patterns a few times a year, all patterns $1.99 normally $13.95-$25.95. But that all will be for another post.

So keep your fingers crossed for me to get started (always the hardest part for me) and for finishing (another issue for me). Say a prayer for me too, please.

I want to try to ask you a question on every post, so here is todays!

Where in the world would you most like to travel?

Thought for the day:

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

Have a great day! See you soon.

Here we go again!

Good morning, well I have so far survived the winter, although just barely! How about you? Today is gloomy, as Spring days usually start out! I can't wait for the Sunshine, the flowers and the green, green grass! I want to start to post more regularly, so pray for me! I love my daughter's blog which is Nikki's Nifty Knacks, and her friend Rachel's, alohaknitter.blogspot.com,. They are both so clever and wonderful crafter's, I admire their wit, energy, and imagination. So as of now I don't have a direction~ I am thinking talking about getting old! There is a new revelation on aging almost each and every day! Any suggestions would be welcomed, just stop by and say HI!

good morning

Hello, another Sonshiny day here, how about you? I bought some floor paint yesterday, I am in the process of priming and painting my hardwood floors, I know, oh the horror, painting hardwood floors! Well in my defense, I don't have the money to have them redone; they are bare and stained, dried out, and curled up! I have a lot of pets, so I am doing it in small sections and it is time consuming, but I am excited to update my home. I will post pictures as I go along! What are you doing today?

Sunshine=HAPPY

Good morning, It is a beautiful sun shiny day, although a bit windy in my neck of the woods! How about yours, how's your weather? I have been very productive (note picture of my productivity, a pond for all my outside creatures, I had stopped caring for it a few years back and needed to start all over, I dug it deeper and wider and redid it just in time for winter, a biggy for me) for the last few days! I suffer and I do mean suffer from ADHD, and bipolar, and hoarding(to an extent, it has gotten better) so being productive in anyway is a big deal. Today however I am going to my daughters to help her. I for some reason can help other people, just not myself. We are going to craft, love it. I have 30-some years of crafting supplies in my craft/junk room and can never seem to get started. Talk at you later. Have a SON-shiny day where ever you are.

Something new

Gonna try to start a new blog format, keep your fingers crossed, and keep checking me out! Any suggestions will be appreciated.
