Can't wait for Christmas!

I am so looking forward to going to Sandy's house in a few days and spending Christmas with my dearest and best friend.This will be mine and Sandy's first Christmas to spend together, usually I go visit a week or so b/f and come home for Christmas. My baby girl Celena and I have done this since she was little. But, My baby is back in California with her hubby in their new home, he is back from Afghanistan since a week b/f Thanksgiving. They spent Thanksgiving with me so I was truly blessed. I am so happy for them to be together. It is so painful not being with her for Christmas but unfortunately as most of us know, they do grow up and leave the nest and mamma bird finds her self all alone one day. But on the upside, my dear friend Sandy and I have some baking and goofing off plans in place for when I get to her house. I am so much looking forward to it. Sandy has put up a little tree in the guest bedroom for me for when I get there. How sweet!
Well I have a pkg to get to the post so I better get going! Sooner I get done with all these things here the sooner I can plan a day to head to Sandy's! If I could have one thing for Christmas, it would be for my dear friend to be healed of her lymphoma, and I am going to believe God for that Miracle! Please continue to pray for Sandy. Merry Christmas everyone!

Have a safe trip and lots of fun
with Sandy. It's not fun to be alone
for Christmas, my hubby and I have
had Christmas alone for 7 years, now.
Merry Christmas!

My precious Kitty, Miley.

It is very wet and rainy. I have been sitting in the living room on the couch with my furry doggies and just listening to the rain fall and starring at my Christmas decorations. It is peaceful. Have the TV on mute and waiting for the College FootBall game to start. What a nice quiet, peaceful and beautiful December evening. Can't remember the last time I sat alone and just listened to the rain fall and not feel stressed or anything, just peaceful. Just a beautiful and unusual feeling December night.

Thank You Jesus!

My dear son in law, Michael.. (Celena's husband)...., arrived back in the states today to his home base in Port Hueneme California, he has been in Afganistn for the past 8 months. Michael will be here at my house in less than a week so he and Celena wil be spending ThanksGiving with me. We are very excited and so glad he is back in the homeland. It will be so hard for me when they leave to go back to California , I will miss them and especially my baby girl soo much. But glad for her that her hubby is home and she is happy!

E-pattern available! Click paypal button above to purchse e-pattern,mailed pattern or finished doll

Several people asked about printing the feedsack. This is an image from ewenmeprintables. I included the directions for printing onto fabric in the pattern. You can order pre cut freezer paper sheets to do this or just use wax paper from the local store. Iron the shiny side of freezer paper to dyed fabric, trace off a regualr size sheet of printer paper on back of freeser sheet, cut out to size of your piece of printer paper that you just traced (8.5x11), run through printer making sure it is free of strings hanging and flattened. Some printers are fussy about taking it, use one at a time, make sure you do this fabric side up or how ever your printer takes it so it will be ready to print on fabric side. All you are doing is giving the fabric enough body to go through your printer.

Visiting Sandy Yesterday

Got to stop and see Sandy for most of the day yesterday, came on home late in the afternoon. We got to go to a new Thrift Shop and do a few things while I was there, had a great time. saw her new pattern doll models and they are wonderful!!! Her pics just do not do her items justice, they look amazing! I saw the new Annie with the frog, her new pattern, and it is great! Here is my grandson enjoying my box of stuffing, he loves the way it feels. Dustin sat in it the whole time he watched his favorite Disney show.
