thursday is better than wednesday
Here we are on update day yet again, with less than I anticipated. An unexpected Royally Crappy Day® fell upon us yesterday, and instead of finishing up the last Simple Bird and sewing some wintry Little Girlie Purses assembly line style, we (N and I) spent the morning, the entire morning, in the pediatrician's office. No worries though. She's fine- She really is. Other than the coughing, you wouldn't even know the kid has a bug. Happy as a lark, this one. I'm taking my cues from her. I'm turning it around today: coffee. baking pumpkin bread. tidying up. music. I'll just add the last bird painting and the little bags sometime soon. (I'll let you know.)
But, please go check out the Shop after 11 am anyway. There are Baby Dolls to order, two Simple Birds (Emily gets dibs on the cardinal), and one remaining Artist Tote. I hope you see something you like. Any holiday gift contenders in there? If you have any questions, please email me. Pricing this handmade stuff is such a pickle- especially these dolls. I need them to be worth my time, but not seem too expensive. I know if you've ever sold any art or craft, you know what I'm talking about.
And you know what? My sweet mother-in-law is coming this weekend to wrangle children so Brian and I can finally paint our bedroom. It's been in-process for at least 6 months now. Then I'll finally get to hang my new photographs. I'll be taking a little blog break until Tuesday to scrape, spackle, sand and paint, decorate and hang. Weeeee!
Thank you in advance if purchase something. And have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs to you all.

Katrina's cough sounds like croup so we're going to the Dr today too. We go to a family Dr so I'll have him just take a listen to all of us. Can you have croup when you're 4?

Your dolls look worth every penny, Alicia. Every single cent. They are gorgeous! Happy painting!

Your dolls are awesome! I love to read your blog.

Alicia, your dolls are so cute. I cannot believe that you can make 5 before Dec 1. There is no way that I could reach that speed with mine. Nope, not possible.
I'm so sorry to hear about spending the morning at the phycisian's office with N. Poor little pumpkin. I feel like I am about to cough my own lung up. Darn it.
She's awfully cute, too, btw.
And, dear Mama Urchin, yes, it is possible to have croup at 4. My Elle is living proof.

Aw, so sorry about little N. :( Get all better babe.
And did someone say PAINTING? I heart painting. I'd come and paint your room FOR you if I could. :) I'd forgotten about those photos too! Hope you have a healthy and productive weekend.

Sorry about your little girl. A poorly one throws everything off kilter and you just have to down tools and go with it. Glad she's feeling better.
By the way your dolls are the loveliest things I've seen in a long time! I agree, pricing is so hard, but these things take such a lot of time,concentration,love - and that mustn't be undervalued.
