Art of Mine

Hi Dear Friends, Hoping you are enjoying this glorious day!! My Mom who lives with me and hubby has a Patsy doll. My Mom will be 92 in February and when she was a little girl in the 1920's a doll came out called Patsy! My mother wanted a Patsy doll so much but never was given one. I remember through the years my mom would tell me her sad story how much she had wanted Patsy and that her friend Norma across the street had one with lots of clothes. Ahh well years later ummmm like 80 plus years later....I looked up Patsy Dolls and found a lady who sold them. This little Patsy is a newer Patsy doll of course but is an authentic Patsy never the less.  I bought Patsy for my Mom about 4 years ago. Mom was sooo surprised and happy to finally have her!! The little blue coat I made for Patsy about three years ago with wool felt. I think it came out so cute for her.

I think I was around 6 years old here.. many moons ago! :) My mother had a very vivid imagination and would tell me all about Santa and his elves. I truly believed in Jolly old St. Nicholas back then. I always had a few things I wanted to tell him like I had been a good girl all year and that I wanted a certain doll or toy or game. I remember one year I received a toy dishes set with small size silver ware to match. I had a small square table in my bedroom and I would arrange all my little chairs around it with all my dolls sitting there waiting to be served. Our last Christmas in Florida I received The Three Bears....they came in a cute card board house...Papa bear was about three feet high and Mama bear a bit smaller an ba...

Hi Dear Friends, I don't know about you but this Christmas my energy level is so low. I have been trying to get things accomplished but I seem to go in slow motion. Miss Daisy my little Persian kitty looks like she is a bit lost....so many things twinkling, and blinking!! She is such a sweetie and loves to sit under the Christmas tree..I think she thinks it's her newest toy!!!! :) I am working on some cute little Yoyo pins with my ribbon roses and a touch of lace. There is a little crystal in the center of the rose. When completed will be mailed out to a dear family member.                                                            Peaceful Christmas Wishes    ...

Hello Dear Friends, What a wonderful time of year.... There are projects to finish up, gifts to wrap, cards to write and cookies to make. My hubby and I trimmed our tree last night and today I am putting the finishing touches of Christmas around the house. This morning I trimmed the little tree for our kitchen. My Mom sits there to have her breakfast and lunch and it is nice to have her enjoy the little tree and figurines that she loves to look at. I created a couple of tins with the help of Nancy Maxwell James tutorials that she is doing for us. I had so much fun making these adorable tins!! They are so easy to make and to give to some special people in your life as well.  Please visit Nancy over at http://sugarlumpstudios.blogspot.com/ This is our cute little kitchen Christmas tree...:) Wishing you All Joy and Blessings, Love to All, Susan xxoo
