~ A Quick Visit ~


 Just thought I would practice with my camera since I haven't in such a long while. So a few quick pix from around my home..... Trying to take my mind off the coming ice storm.....


 Some inspirations in my studio...


                                    
A small collection on my bedroom dresser....

  
A doll I made many years ago that sits in my kitchen. At the time, I had no idea how to apply hair, so I made all these tiny braids of wool and stuck holes on her head with an awl and glued each one in! She's wearing an old christening gown and I love her.....


 I spy a touch of green even if it's dried ... Spring?  (Pllleeease???)

                        
 Top of  my $ 3.00 jelly cupboard. Yes, many years ago at a garage sale, a gal had it priced at $5.00 because the two top drawers were missing (hence the piece of homespun).  Well, I had to get the price down, (if just for the principal of being a good bargain hunter) cause I already had a washstand with many layers of paint in the truck and I wasn't sure what my husband was going to say when I brought home more work for him.... Now, of course it has been on my "Honey-Do" list for years, because I know if he can build gate leg tables and corner cupboards etc, he can make two simple dovetailed drawers..... Time, never enough..... someday..... AHHh,  hope you keep warm and dry,
