Isn't this a lovely piece of artwork. So delicate and I love the hairline..it looks so real and the complexion and colors so lovely. I haven't posted for a while and thought I'd put a post up this morning before I get started on my Wed. collage challenge which is 'hats'. I've had a good week, and gotten lots of housecleaning done which is one of the most satisfying accomplishments in the world. Instead of feeling the weight of the 'to-do's on my mind I have given myself the gift of the 'look what I did!' s. My 4 library books have all been picked up now. 3 are about spinning and knitting that I sort of previewed at Barnes & Nobles Bookstore and then borrowed from our library. The other is a novel, an old classic that I will pass on now that I have had the opportunity to read the back cover. rats! It looked good in the store. Anyway I'm off to do the collage challenge and see what I come up with. My craft/sewing room needs re-cleaned. I started those soldered necklaces and needed some jewelry 'fixins' for them...so there they lay. And, I am really going to do some sewing today, just for a while, and take in the shoulder and underarm seams of some dresses from Good Will that are too big. Maybe hem my bedroom sheers while I'm at it. They have polka dots on them...my word, I could have scanned them for the polka dot collage challenge the other week! These sheers were dirt cheap....under $5. a pair from Ikea. They say something to me...like 'homey'. I made valances from an old quilt and these are perfect underneath. Hope you are having a good day. I think I'm going to challenge myself to see how many things I can get done today, it will be fun. "Having someone who understands is a great blessing for ourselves.
