we went to do just a bit of shopping this weekend. i got myself a tag punch so now i can make my own tags for the amigurumi and other softies. also got a steven king book to read..firstarter. this is the first one i've ever read..although my mom is an avid fan! also the newest selvedge magazine..an expensive treat! very interesting issue with alot about dolls!

new dolly!

here is my newest dolly! she is a petite blythe squiggly squirrel. i have repainted her lips already! they were very light pink..i like them much better now!

so cute wash cloths for mikey


somehow all of mikey's little washcloths eventually disappeared..so i got him these from etsy. they are cotton flannel..two sided..and super soft. sure i could have made some myself but i like to support other crafters as well. you can find the shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5512127
