yes..I'm freezing! And I hate freezing! Shoot...I'm cold at 80...so this is really hard for me! My house has alot of tile...which makes it colder! I'm ready for warmer weather!!!!!! I'm tired of shivering!
We had snow last week! LOVED it! of course it didn't stick for too long....but it was fun driving around looking at how pretty everything looked! And of course...Christopher making snowballs and throwing them!
And.....look at this awesome desk that I found at the thrift store!!! only $45.00!!!!
I NEEDED this bad! Since giving up my house in the divorce, that meant losing my sewing room...and that has been really hard for me! I was sewing on this lil tiny desk that was my grandmothers...and it just wasn't working for me! I didn't have a place to cut out dresses, trace dolls...or just plain "spread out and work". And now I do! I already had the white shelf that is sitting on top, I just added legs to it to raise it up a bit. And the baskets I had hanging on a wall in my old sewing room....it was perfect to hang them under the desk. I am trying to keep the top clear of clutter...for more working space! I plan to paint everything to match....maybe this spring..it's just too cold right now! But I'm really happy with it! And I love the room that it gives me! And thankfully the master bedroom in this rental is big enough to allow me to have it in there. And thankfully "yummy boyfriend" doesn't mind!
Thats a big pile of dolls huh? Well some are dressed...and already up for sale over on my Website!
I want to give a BIG HUGE shout out for Julie Miller of Polka Dot Pig Primitives (formally My Raggedy Kids). She has been away for a bit, but she is now back!!!! I am sooo happy to see her back! You can read all about her adventures in the last 4 years over on her website! And she's having a pattern sale....so all you pattern "collectors", be sure to check it out!
Off to run some errands now....and then back to make more dresses!
Happy Monday everyone!!!!!
Love...Nicole
Love the new desk. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH COUNTER SPACE. I'm dealing with that issue now. Thanks for sharing ~ Lisa
