THINKING OF RETIRING ! & IT IS TIRING!

Yes, we are thinking of retiring and are downsizing our inventory on eBay with lots of things on Sale.  Also you will find lots of patterns, supplies, etc. of the articles that I have continually made for dolls that are for sale now.    It is hard to decide what to part with first, but we just must do this.   We are not getting any younger and we want to do this rather than leave it to our children to have to do it later.  

If you have questions, be sure to email us.    clind22077@aol.com is the email we use for our eBay business.  

Thanks so much to all of you who have been customers of ours and hope to do more business with you yet!  Enjoy the markdowns!

FINALLY BACK TO MY BLOG

I JUST HAD TOO MUCH GOING FOR AWHILE AND THIS BLOG IS ONE THING THAT I HAD TO SKIP. HOPEFULLY, I WILL GET BACK TO THIS AND IT WILL BE MORE INTERESTING.

WE ARE VERY BUSY WITH EBAY, FOR WHICH WE SAY "THANKS" TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS. FOR SOME REASON, LATELY, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SPECIAL ORDERS OF DOLL THINGS TO MAKE FOR SOME OF YOU. I REALLY LIKE TO DO THIS, BUT AS OF LATE, TIME HAS NOT BEEN KIND TO ME. WE ARE GETTING OLDER AND IT SEEMS OUR HEALTH IS TAKING IT'S TOLL ON BOTH OF US, AS WELL AS TOM'S 90 YR. OLD MOTHER. WE THINK NOW, THAT THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER FOR ALL OF US.

I NOW HAVE A NEW LAPTOP BUT OF COURSE IT DOESN'T HAVE ALL OUR PICTURES AND EBAY LISTINGS ON IT. SO THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE ALSO. I AM USING IT UPSTAIRS AND HOPE I CAN KEEP UP A LITTLE BETTER. OUR MAIN COMPUTERS ARE DOWNSTAIRS AND SO IS MY SEWING ROOM WHERE I REALLY SPEND A LOT OF TIME. BUT IT IS NICE TO LEAVE IT ALL DOWN THERE AND COME UP TO OUR REGULAR AREA.

BY FOR NOW, HOPEFULLY I'LL BE BACK ONLINE SOON.

Large Christmas pillow I am making for our fireplace

As you can see, I'm barely started, but with all these neckties I am running over with ideas!! These are ones that represented Christmas!

The size now is about 27" x 13", however I intend to add a 4" border all around it with ruched fabric and beads in the seam. Then I will add a 2" border of fabric with beads in that seam and then bind the pillow. This will be size of a bed pillow that can be removed when the pillow top is stored away until next Christmas time.

We will use it in front of our fireplace (that we have never used. We have our flat screen t.v. in front of it placed on an antique wooden desk like box that is on 3" wooden ball legs. The top lifts up like a desk, but right now it is a t.v. stand!! The pillow will just fit in front of the t.v. against the box, and will be festive for the holidays. I hastilly took these pictures and they looked wrinkled, but it is not. I intend to embellish it heavily.

Bead RR with a group

We, in the Bead RR group have decided to not mail on the last block (which I have received now) until after the holidays. That is great in 2 ways. I will have more time to work on it, and hopefully the blocks will arrive safely with the block owner. I will take a picture of it later and post it here.
