back in the saddle...



I feel like I've been out of it for too long!  Between my daughter's MRSA infections, my bronchitis, Christmas, Reflections, etc. etc. I got a little behind on my blog and the projects that I have going on!  But, I think I'm back-- trying to get caught up on gifts that I want to make for little girls in my life.  Here is a picture of a doll that I finished las night.  She's pretty cute, but took quite a bit of time!
