With this past Monday being a holiday it has made for a really short week! Yay! We couldnt get a camping site last weekend because it was full. This weekend we lucked up and got a waterfront so we may go for a small camping trip this weekend. Thats funny because the campground is like 15 minutes from our house. Would you still consider that a trip?



I've been really anxious and sad lately. My Decorah babies will be leaving the nest soon! They are neary ready to fly. I've watched them nearly every day since they hatched. To see them go will make me cry but my DH said that is a HAPPY event. Have you seen them?



Being retired at age 39 (now I'm 42) was not by choice. I cant blog about why I retired just know that I had to and it's impossible for me to work ever again. Anyway, its hard to not get down in a funk (oh, but I do) and that why I try to do as much as I can. I read ALL OF THE TIME. I read blogs, books, patterns, magazines, cookbooks, newspapers, you name it. I love working crossword puzzles! I get that from my Grandmama.

Lately I've fallen in love with doll making. I took two classes last fall and now I am expanding on what I learned then. I have made a dear friend in Mrs Patti Culea and I cannot wait for her DVD to come out in August! I am about to make one of her retired patterns. The doll is called My Fairie Godmother and she is soooo fat and cute! I am finishing a cloth doll today and her name is Bonnie Joy! I will post pics soon!



Speaking of dolls and patterns Dolls and Daydreams is doing a give-a-way! I've never won ANYTHING! I take that back. I won some stupid board game on the radio a long time ago. It wasn't worth my gas down to the station to get the thing. Just being honest. Anyway maybe my luck will change.



I hope you all have a wonderful week, what's left of it. I've noticed that my followers are only ELEVEN. I can't seem to get any followers! Am I boring? Do I offend? I think it should be mandatory that if you follow someone's blog they automatically follow yours in return. It's only fair! It makes me feel so unloved and unwanted that I don't have any follwers. :-( Wont you follow me??? I promise to post pics......some great pics..........very soon!



Here's a hint that related to an upcoming blog post: It has to do with a doll.
