Happy baby

This is Darcy!

Occasional Issues, Still

With all the meds and oxygen etc. I have been in good shape for quite awhile. Consequently finding myself starting to have breathing issues took me by suprise.  I quickly sat down and started the oxygen and then did a neb treatment.  Both helped and then DH called and said, “Stop what you are doing and watch a movie.” He knows how to nudge me to stay put and do nothing.

I am working on another sweet baby named Darcy.  Photos of her will come tomorrow.  She needs to have a couple more items of clothing.

Off to Texas

Oh no, not me, just this sweet dolly.  She has been waiting awhile for a new home.  I know she will be loved and cared for.

Today I did a bit of this and a bit of that.  I really wanted to get started on another doll but just could seem to muster the energy for it. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

She’s Got Clothes

Here’s Miss Carly ready for a new home. I love her diaper with the heart…just in time for Valentine’s Day.

She is for sale on Etsy.

In the sunshine…

Yippee. The sun is shining today!

Clean…Oh My!

I just spent an important 20 minutes in the sewing room.  Cleaned, swept and put away everything I had pulled out working on the new baby doll.  I am wondering how long it will take to mess it up again.  

It snowed a bit this morning but right now the sun is shining.  The bitter cold has past and we is going to be in the 20s today.  A heat wave!

Painful

This weather change and bitterly cold temps (below zero) have created painful shoulder joints.  I am pushing the Advil and it has helped.

I was delighted to have a baby doll go to her new home today.  It inspired me to get going on another.  I am pleased with how far I was able to go.

Another Bitterly Cold Day

It’s February.

It’s very cold.

It’s going to get colder!

No matter. I have lots to do this month.  I know because I am making lists of things I need to get done!  Sort, clean, recycle, remove and do it all over again.  We surely have too much “stuff” and I am determined to whittle it down.  I want to take care of less!

Today I mailed out three packages that have been waiting to be sent.  Watch your mailbox…  Amity, Gabriel and Maxim.  I finished up and mailed the taxes, yippee!  I made yummy cookies.  And I took lots of breaks!

Supper is ready to be put in the oven and I am wearing a smile.

Life is good.

Saturday Outing

DH treated me to Chinese in Calais and then let me shop!

It’s been awhile since I have been able to get out to do any kind of shopping and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I had a good list and when the items on the list were purchased I hit the fabric dept in Mardens.

They had some new fabric in and I saw several that would work with the dolls. I bought several 1/2 yard pieces and came home smiling!

Of course, today I am quite worn out but it was worth it!

Swirling snow

It snowed in the night and today there is a lot of wind.  It is picking up the snow ans swirling it around making it look like a blizzard.  So much for spring!  The wind chill is pretty bad as well.

I am glad to be in a warm cozy house.
