It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood....

Wow...I woke up this morning to overcast skies and thought for sure we would be getting rain. To my surprise (and enjoyment) the sun has decided to break through the clouds and shine, shine, shine!

We had the most wonderful surprise yesterday. Our grandbaby came to visit for a few hours. Of course, Mom and Dad had to drive him, so we got to hug their necks too, but those baby snuggles....mmmmmm! Sawyerbug sure is growing up fast...it's such a miracle to see how much he changes in just a few short weeks. Here's my snugglebug sleeping on my shoulder...oh yeah...I've still got the Mama touch. Two seconds on Gramma's shoulder and he's out! haha



Look at my little bichon baby, Prissy! She snuggled up with us and took a little nap too. :-)

I did get through most of my list yesterday...I think I might need to make a to-do list every day to keep myself on track. How about you? What do you use to help you stay on track?

Today's to-do list:

sew and stuff new dollie
sign up for Dixie Redmond's Izannah Walker Workshop YEAH!!
Package and ship my lovely Ellie to her new forever home
more laundry (ugh)
work on my new valentine pin idea - not sure about the logistics of this project yet.

That's enough for one day, right? Wishing you a happy and blessed day today...Susan

Monday, January 18, 2010

Okay, I admit it...I've typed and written 2009 about 1,000 times in the past 18 days!! How about you? I'm sure it will become second nature to write 2010 at some point, but for now... #@!()&*@#&@*&@((#! :-)

I need a to-do list today to get all my projects finished, so here goes:

-call Mom and Dad
-clean up studio (a definite must - and I think I might need the shop vac this time)
-give the rest of the house a good cleaning (I've been 'living' in the studio these past two weeks and it's been totally ignored.)
-dig out the book with the basketweave stitch for my friend
-get my sketchbook out and begin thinking about my next dollie
-journal, journal, journal
-figure out something for dinner - Grandbaby Sawyer is coming over tonight - :-)

Okay..that's enough for now...there are only so many hours in the day, right? haha

I have a new dollie on Ebay this week. Bella is the next Valentine dollie in my Spring series. I'm loving the colors in her dress...not your traditional pink or red, but definitely romantic. :-) What do you think?



Have a wonderfully, blessed day today...Hugs..Susan
