Back to Work Tomorrow

Well, it is back to work tomorrow. Being off  10 days was soooo nice! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and looking forward to a NewYear.

 We (Mary, Debbie, Me) got up early on Christmas Eve and went shopping, hit Kohl's, Kirklands, and Michaels. My husband thought we were crazy to go, but the stores were almost empty, most of the Christmas items were gone.  I did pick up a few things though---like this lighted twig tree at Kirklands, half off, then I had a coupon for another 15 percent off.    It looks much better than in the picture.

I started working on cleaning out the craft room, it was a mess, well, it still is, but I'm slowly throwing out, consigning some things and rearranging.I think my big splurge will be some new storage cabinets for the craft room, I want to be able to close the doors and not see everything.

I also took down all of the Christmas decorations today, did some rearranging in other areas too.  As warm as it is here, I think spring cleaning has hit me already.

 I been working on so new dolls, these are from a Raggedy Smiles pattern, I am loving the wool yarn that I found. I have another almost finished, but she is for the show next year, (this year, I am going to start earlier and for every two I make, I will make a third for the shows, we'll see how that works) she is wearing a gingerbread skirt and holding a gingerbread man.

 A couple of the craft show dollies pattern by Sweet Meadows Farm, and another Penelope.  Getting started on Valentines Day dolls now, then some Easter and St. Paddy's Day.

 Another bagholdler, we had some time to kill before the cruise and stopped at a Joann's, they had lots of Christmas fabric left, found the white flannel with big red buttons.  So I used it for the apron.= on this bagholder.

 I also made a new mini Valentines Doll, from a Homespun from the Heart pattern, she has a little love letter and a felt heart.

I got a new cash register for Christmas, my other one died the day before the show, so we had to use a calculator, not fun! I really like this one, I was able to program within 5 minutes and it was ready to go.

 Another present,  a wireless printer, this works great, too.  The color is fantastic.

I hope everyone has a great week and Happy New Year's.  Cyndy
