Today (Saturday) is my birthday… yep, I’m getting older every day! I was only 63 yesterday! Oh well, I guess it happens to the best of us.
My hubby and Rebecca wanted to take me on a road trip, but we weren’t sure we could go with all the rain coming. We decided to chance it and did hit some rain but it wasn’t bad. We went to Cape Girardeau, MO…about 45 minutes from here.
They said it was my day and I could go wherever I wanted in Cape… so we went to the Goodwill, to The Golden Needle, to Dents Make Cents, to Spanish Street Mercantile…
…and this was the only picture I took in there… it’s a panoramic shot of one of the booths… very shabby chic… but nicely displayed…AND if you click on the picture, it will enlarge as big as your computer screen, letting you see lots of pretty things!
Then to Main Street Antiques, Teen Challenge Thrift Shop, Harbor Freight (gotta keep my driver happy!) El Torero Mexican Restaurant…
Hello Steak Fajitas…
…and I even ran in My Daddy’s Cheesecake and got 4 little Mexican Wedding Cake cookies (again 1 for my driver) before we headed home.
I found a couple of stretchy sparkly tank tops at Goodwill to make doll thigh highs or tights out of, didn’t find a thing on sale at The Golden Needle, we found some fun snacks at Dents Make Cents, my hubby found a clamp at the Spanish Street Mercantile and Rebecca bought this sweet little table and chairs set for me as “another” prop. It’s a Boyd’s table and chair set and will work for several of my girls… I might paint it but for now, here it is…
Here are a couple of girls who said they’d like to sit at it… ( I’m using my camera for my pictures tonight, not my phone, so they aren’t wonderful, but until I figure out how to get my pictures off my phone and loaded onto my computer, I’m going to use it. I’m hoping to see Kristoffer and maybe he can help me…)
Trixie Tonner is 10″…
Bailey is 11″…
…and Janie is 13″…
I managed to get a little more done on Nyssa’s dress but as I see my pictures now, I’m laughing. I never noticed how crooked her head was when I was taking the pictures… so just ignore how goofy she looks… AND how much she’s got that “deer in the headlights” look in her eyes. I should have taken my picture just slightly to the side of her face… not straight on!
I scrounged around in my silk ribbon and found one piece of navy just long enough to tie the neck bow…
Then I added 8 white buttons down the front…
This next picture is all weird in color and I’m not sure why, but it’s the only one I took so I had to use it…I had to redo one side of the lace… it wasn’t a mirror image of the other side and it was bugging me.
Here’s the other thing that’s kind of bugging me… I used the same sleeve pattern for the green sleeves, but I must have cut them longer because the ones in the blue dress seem way shorter… I’m not sure if I want to redo them, but just wondering…
Well, I’m off to see what my actual birthday holds for me… :o)
See you Monday,
Blessings, Jeanne
