This past weekend was a good one.
...have you ever had days just 'come together' for you?
meaning, everything that you planned on doing or finishing, got done or finished?
then, unexpected pleasantries followed by having someone get in touch with you about something that just filled your heart?
This past weekend was just that for me.
Wonderful!

Your doll with the needlepunch pocket is just beyond wonderful! Glad you had such a great weekend. It sure is nice to hear some positive comments in this world of doom and gloom. Good for you!!! Dawn
Lori, it's Emily from Hootin Annies...I don't know if you're familiar with my dolls, but I know of you...where are you located? If I can remember right, it's the east coast, right? I'd be interested in stopping in your shop and taking a class, but unfortunately, I think I'm too far away.
I've added you to my blog roll. Hope to hear from you!

That classroom looks fun! I so wish I could join you. :D That sampler class sounds really interesting. I love dyeing and staining fabric. I've done a handful of times and each time I've been happy with the results.
Btw, I forgot to mention from your previous post that I love ticking too. :D I have a whole yard of blue and white ticking.
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. I love it when things come together like that.
Love your doll and the sewing pocket.
Wish I was closer to sign up for your class and the show.
Many blessings, Doreen
Love the doll & the pocket!
I know what you mean about things comin' together as you hope! I've been very lucky to have some days like that myself of late! I hope today is one of those days... working at home today!
Have a GREAT day Lori!
When I read these notes, I know how lucky I am to be so close to Not Forgotten Farm!! See you on Sat.
