Christmas is Coming!

Look what Michelle set up on the coffee table today! She made the little angel on the tree top & it has crystal ball ornaments that don't show up well in the picture. The little purple bear is a new born bear named Royal. Royal is very small and is currently staying with me. More Christmas stuff is coming, and I get my December outfit tomorrow!

Letter to Santa

Michelle says that Santa will be coming soon. I decided I better get busy and write him a letter letting him know that I've been a good little bear this year. I'm hoping I get to meet him soon. Michelle says maybe I will get to meet him, we'll just have to see.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Cornhusk Swap Doll has Arrived!!

Well, Michelle was right. The cornhusk doll we got back in the swap is very cute! Look how detailed & fancy she is. We are going to have to study her to try to figure out how to make one so fancy.

Puppy Update!!

Baby girls are coming up on a month old. They are pretty active now & love to play. Fortunately for me, still lacking teeth!

Look how ferocious they can be with each other!

Mailing out a swap

Isn't this little raffia doll cute? Michelle made her for a swap on Hittygirls. She is being mailed out today. I wanted to keep her, but Michelle assures me we will get another one & it will probably be even cuter than this one. We'll see about that.

Craft Sale Today

Today, Michelle, had a craft sale table at Curves. She had bears, dolls, a couple of turkeys, and lots of fuzzy scarves for sale. She sold alot of the fuzzy scarves.

Don't panic I wasn't for sale, I was just checking on the merchandise!

A Gaggle of Turkeys

Or is a flock of turkeys...maybe a herd of turkeys. Anyway I met these turkeys while they are in the process of fleeing. They go into hiding this time every year & don't come out until after Christmas. Apparently, this is a dangerous time of year to be a turkey.

Time for Lunch!

MMMMM, time for lunch. Two types of honey and some apples sound just right for a little blue bear.

Uh oh, do you supposed this clown bear will want some of my lunch? He is a cute little guy & I do have more than enough apples & two jars of honey. Guess I'll be polite & offer to share.

Lunch is more fun w/a friend. Clown bear is apparently just passing through. He's enroute to Michelle's mom's house to live. She collects clowns & he feels he'll be appreciated there.

Michelle Finishes Projects weekend

Michelle was trying to organize all her craft stuff & found some of the yarn from the yarn store gift certificate. Introducing my new sister Rose, who was made from some of that yarn. She's very soft & smaller than me even when she's standing up.

The two dolls on the end were bodies that Michelle made a long time ago. She decided to finish the poor dears. She calls them "art" dolls. The doll next to me started out as a porcelain shoulder head & hands. Michelle made her a body & the arms are jointed. She'll either become an angel for Christmas, or Maria Poppet for an upcoming book project for an online group Michelle belongs to. I think she'd make a lovely angel personally.

Ashleigh Meets Winnie the Pooh

I was walking along & there he was, Winnie the Pooh! I was so excited, I love his books & movies! He's very handsome in person.

He graciously agreed to a picture with me.

Michelle had introduced me to my two new brothers earlier. The tall one is Evergreen. He wants to be a Christmas tree. Boys are sometimes beyond my comprehension. Little Red is just slightly bigger than me & is a very cheerful bear. He's waiting for his star...whatever that means.

Mr. Pooh even agreed to a picture with all of us! What a gracious, silly, old bear!

Pixie opens an eye! My new dress!

Look at how big the girls are getting! Here they are hard at nursing.

Gracie Lou is such a good mommy dog!

Look how cute Elf is. She is very close to getting her eyes open, you can see she can almost open the right one.

Pixie her left eye open & is working on the right. It's so cute, looks like she is winking at us.

Here is my new dress for November. Michelle felt it was very Thanksgivingy. I like the sparkly bow best!
