Tea Time

This is a lovely girl.
I try to infuse tea time with a few little "proper things to do" statements. Sometimes Miss Priss is too quick for me.

A piece of fabric from my stash. Autumn pitted the dates and filled them with peanut butter. She discovered the apricots in the snack cupboard , "Sweets, sweets, sweets." They joined the date plate. Mikey prided himself on the fact that he drank "Five cups of tea."Oh, the delights of tea time.



A Few Years Ago

Mikey took this picture . Mary, Larisa & I.
I like this picture because I can kinda see myself in Larisa. A little bit anyway. Please don't tell me I already posted this.

Michael, Liz, Mikey, Mary & Autumn.

Tinsley's B'day Present -







I made this for Tinsley's AG doll. This doll modeling it is one I bought over at Walmart for $20. She's a good model! LOL I hope Tins likes this.....you never know about these modern girls! The muff and baret are made from fake rabbit fur. I wanted to use a red wool for the coat but didn't have time to order any so I used this material I had laying around. It's nice to be able to use up some of my stash!
