Finally going to sew!!!

Amazingly I am done moving boxes and unpacking boxes!! I swear I walked up and down so many stairs my legs should look pretty darn good.. LOL well its a good thought anyways. Seriously though... my daughter lives upstairs and with all the stairs in our house and then all those stairs getting stuff in the apartment whew... just glad its over! Her place is adorable, and when all the stuff is on the walls etc it will feel like home to her. I will take pictures once that part is done. After moving all her stuff I had to come home to moving my sons stuff into my daughters old room upstairs... YEP more stairs to climb!! Now I know why I woke up so sore!!

Now for the part I havent done!!! SEW. Today without fail I am working on finishing up a order and then onto all the naked bodies that lay on the floor.

So now I hope I have some good news that something here in either pictures is completed today!! I will be back to update!!!

Wow I'm Still tired!!

Well I'm up early this morning... it's moving day for my daughter!! Not sure if I am sad or happy. Since she is only moving into town in a small one bedroom apartment she will be close by. Of course I will see her often due to me cat sitting during the day so that little guy isn't bored. I think what I will miss the most is walking into her room to just talk.
Not only are we moving her furniture I am moving my son from downstairs into her old room. ( Bad thing I still have to paint the room and now will have to do it moving his furniture around ) Yep more work ahead when I need to be sewing!
Lemon Poppy Seed is updated with a couple Christmas items and later this week the new WSOAPP website to sell under is opening, Sept. 7th!!! I am looking forward to the new venture and hope everyone does very well. Nice small group and very well managed. So thats my day so far this early morning. Maybe later I will have pictures to show of the move!!! Until then....

Finally back home!!!

So happy to be back home!! Steve and I were treated to a weekend getaway with several other couples on a trip to San Diego and Catalina island this last weekend. My husband does advertising through TBS broadcasting and this was a way of saying thank you to some of their customers. So friday we boarded a plane for San Diego, all expenses paid, airfare, food, limos, hotel etc. The hotel we were in was in the 300.00 dollar a night range. Beautiful old historic U.S.Grant. Where a bag of M&Ms go for 8.00 a bag (thats the normal bag we buy for 50cents). Expensive! A picture of their headboard in the room tells it all.... Care to guess how much this so called piece of art sells for? $12,000 dollars!!! Yes above each bed is this piece of padded fabric for a headboard and what looks to be a drawing with a sharpie pen! My husband and I laughed at it, looks like if you made a mistake you just darken it in and move on. There are tiny dots for the fine lines and big blotchy black thick marks for dark outlines. Heck I think I could do this and be rich!!!

We spent saturday on Catalina island. Pretty island but nothing I want to return to anytime in the near future. Very touristy. Lots of small bars, restaurants and shops. Tons of people on the beaches!!! You couldn't even see the sand between the people is how crowded it was!!! Alot of people proud to show off their bodies, some deserving to and some well lets just say I didn't need to see!!!

Golf carts were rented for us and we toured the little bit of the island you can view by driving them. I was excited to see the botanical gardens... LOL. I invisioned beautiful flowers, LOL... much to my surprise I got to see CACTUS and more CACTUS!!! Dry ugly sage brush!!! I did happen to catch one of these cactus blooming!!! Wow a site to see....lol. The highlight of the trip for my husband and I was touring the U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier. If anyone truly knows me they know I am totally infatuated with history and war memorabilia. Sit me down with a good war story or movie and I am hooked. Steve and I spent over 3 hours aboard the ship and enjoyed every minute of it. It's amazing to see what small cramped quarters our servicemen live in for months at a time so that we may be free.... Overlooking the ship there is this wonderful statue which Im sure greets sailors that come into dock with memories of their loved ones. So now its back to reality and my sewing and cleaning. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some progress to share!

Welcome Esmeranda!!! My newest doll offered on ebay. I have been so busy making dolls, and filling orders I hardly have time to fold clothes, vaccum etc.....BUT my family sure thinks I do nothing all day. What is it with staying at home? Do they seriously think I sit here on the computer all day long and then whip up a doll real quick and list her??? I made more trips to town today to do stupid things others wanted me to do... made me so mad!!! Here I thought for sure I could stay home all day.. Peace and Quiet no trips to town, no Walmart etc. LOL nope I think an alarm went off in heads and it said... CALL HER, ASK HER, she will do it!!! Yeah... good ole mom!!! Anyways... I am hoping tomorrow will be a day I can do all I wanted to do today and didn't get to do!

I keep looking at our lawn outside... hmmm lets see its been a week since its been mowed and IM ON STRIKE... as much as I want to go out there and mow it IM not going to. I think the person that comes home from work and sits all day can do it.... Im tired of doing it all... Im not superwoman like someone seems to think I am!!! Until tomorrow......

GEt in on the Giveaway!!

I know I probably shouldnt send anyone over to view this because I want to win it myself... but to be fair... here is the link to Soft in the Head....She is giving away some wonderful items in a drawing!!! http://www.softinthehead.blogspot.com/......

YES MISS DOTTIE SAD EYES!!!

Meet Miss Dottie...... "sad eyes".. thats a perception you can judge for yourself. Anyways... with all that my day had in store for me I managed to finish her and get her listed tonight. At one point today she sat on my lap.. no lips, no hair just eyes and a dress on her. I didn't even think I wanted to finish her. She is lucky to be here tonight!

As for my earlier complaints... I am over it... Im sure if she decides to email me again she will get under my skin but I won't grace her with my words of thank you for her wise interpretations of my dolls.... I will have to keep my real feelings inside... she can say whatever she wants... Im not changing my dolls eyes for her.... these are MY babies!!! So on to the next creation.. I have so much I need to do before the 15th !!! Time is getting away!!! Now tomorrow I plan to wake up on the RIGHT side of the bed!!!
