New dolls

I have been having fun sewing and finished up some dolls... will start listing them on etsy today.

These are my favorite dolls to make lately but I am doing up a new doll pattern and I can't wait to show you. It is always fun to try something new.
Summer is winding down and we are getting ready for school to start Sept 1st.

I hope I have everything they need. We still need to label everything and I think one of the kids still needs gym shoes. Hope to finish it all up this weekend. Sometimes I wish that I could home school them but I know that I just could not do it. I stress and worry enough already!! :)
Hope you are all having a wonderful week.
Colleen

Keeping busy with garden, dolls,flowers and kiddo's

The garden has been keeping me busy , weeding, enjoying the fresh food, and canning these... I have been sewing up some dolls and hope to finish then sunday or monday.. The kids are enjoying the last couple of weeks of summer vacation. Have not done the school supplies shopping yet. I really dread doing it each year. You have this list of items and it just gets more each year it seems. So many color notebooks and folders, loose leaf paper, pens, pencils, markers, rulers , .... the money adds up fast, if you know what I mean. Someone left me a comment saying the sunflower background was not working and I checked it out and it is working for me. Not sure maybe it is there blog but I checked it out and know that it is working for anyone who wants it . It is back in my older post. Someday I plan to have a link to all backgrounds and buttons.....when I find a free minute or too!! :) I will leave you with a few of my flowers and a cute dragon fly that has been hanging out in our backyard for the last month or so.that
