Getting so forgetful these days

I meant to add a few sweet things i have to my last post. I love vintage nursery planters and have a couple that i love a lot. I also made a Scarlet Ohara Saftey Pin doll, which is not complete yet. I do not know about hair and a face yet.. But here are my photos.



Cold, Icey, White,brrrrrrrrrrrrr


Good morning all, hope this day finds each of you in good health and happiness. I am trying a new color for my blog, I am so in love with pink and aqua right now. I have some old sheets that are aqua with pink, yellow, cream and pale green on them. I took my sheet with me to wal-mart and had them scan the aqua color on the sheet to get some paint that exact color.. I am saving it for when we get moved , to paint something with.. lol,i have no clue yet what it will be. Attached is the sheet i scanned for you to see..
Well most of the north part of arkansas has been without power for two days now. They are talking that it could be at least a week for some rual parts of the state to have power restored. There was a bad ice storm here in 2000, but they say this one has that one beat . Red cross has set up places for people to go,to at least stay warm and have warm food to eat. Weather man said this morning we will have highs in teh 50's today for most part of the state, and sunny conditions for a few days, so at least that is a big step to getting things back to normal.

Made some changes

Well i made some changes to my blog and it took away all my comments.. Sorry yall, i had no idea that would happen.. Any way, i may change it a few more times too. I am getting very unsatisfied with things lately. I don't know why, except for the fact that i am packing away a lot of pretty things i love to look at each day, and my life has somewhat become bland in my home.. OH well, never fear, i can always come and look at each of your pretties.. I do not know waht i am going through, but i find myself saying, i think i will just delete my websites and my blog and be done with it all, since i am moving.. you know kinda like whipe the slate clean.. But I can't.. I say to my self.. "Self, you would be sorry if you do that" haha well it is all still here for right now. I may get a wild hair.. One never knows about a woman with hormones and about to turn 50 in a week.. WOW.. Where did time go.. Yall have a great day.. We are iced in here in arkansas...

One more for today


I have this sweet statue that i am going to paint and put out in my rose garden at our new property. I need some suggestions from you ladies that have an eye for this kind of thing. How would you paint this, and would you put a bowl of some kind on top where the candle holder is , to put bird seed in? Or would you just leave it for a candle? Or What would you do with it? Love to get your ideas.. Here is a nice cap for you to wear..
you know a thinking cap...haha Have a great day.. Sheila

Just a few Of my Favorite Dolls









Well it is not all dolls. I have a few stuffed toys i like simply because i liked the movie or because they are pink... I have a lullaby doll from the 1979 that has the pull string and the doll plays music and it's head moves.. I remember the thumbalina doll from when i was a baby, well a toddler. I did not like it at all, my mom said..

I have a sweet, pink, blue eyed doll i found at the thrift store. Those blue eyes got me.. But she was only 1 dollar.. I also have a porclein doll that has the same blue eys, she is in my collection as well.. Ty babies, yes i have one. My Ty, is Isabella, she is dressed up in a sweet animal print fur coat. Then i have a Macdonalds Chenille Kitty cat, from the talking animals collections. I have a verry pretty musical clown. This clown is dressed in a beautiful roses print and has gold pointed toe shoes on. This clown plays "A TIME FOR US" I also have a pink cat in the hat fish, and of course Piglett .. I do have a very old Whinnie Pooh bear ,and a very old stuffed pony, but they are already packed up for the move.. A few things that sit on my bed that make me smile..
