Tsk Tsk, shame shame!

O ver a month since my last post!!!??? How did this happen? Just busy with life really. Went to Florida for part of it, which was so lovely and oh so relaxing! Now preparing to leave this Monday for Missouri to pick up my son. He just finished basic training at Fort Leonard Wood and is coming home for a couple of weeks, than off to Fort Hood!!!! I'm so excited to see him and could not be more proud.




(Here's me looking off our balcony - quite the view, yes?)



But I have not neglected my doll-making entirely. I've been wanting to create another "Alice in Wonderland" for some time now.... and with the movie just out (which i still have not seen btw), was the much needed inspiration.



When we get back on the 8th of May I hope to get her finished and listed on Ebay.

Sure hope ya'll are having a beautiful and productive spring!!!!!
