when Soap was a show and not something for the bath.
when Billy Crystal played the gay son (and not because he was happy).
when nighttime TV made me laugh out loud.
when a rich family and a poor family were related.
Do you remember, too?
The altered dominos and other altered game pieces group recently hosted a domino doll swap. I created Mary Poppins for this swap.
Blisstonex created this lovely birdie for me. I love her clock face wings, here bluebird head and her wiry legs. She is just perfect!
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
This lovely card was created by Renee for the MAMMA challenge using ordinary things to stamp backgrounds. You can see my creation here.
It was time to put Alice down for a winter’s nap and create a new purse for the fall and winter months. I went to my trusty Serendipity Tote pattern. It is the creation of Kate from Handmade Kate. which I adjusted to make it more Cindy friendly. I added a panel on the sides and the bottom so that it had some width. Inside I added a pocket to hold my keys along with several pockets for my glasses, sunglasses, pens, and other misc items (chapstick, notebook, mints, etc).
I added the buttons to cover up the fact that my corners do not match up. I also cut out some of the leaves from the upholstery fabric used for the handle and sides and top stitched them to the front and back of the bag. They sit where the 4th button would be. I truly love the finished bag!

The MAD MAMMA group is taking a break. For the last swap we created a ribbon doll. You can see the doll I created here.
This lovely doll was created by Capribluejeanie.
She is so pretty and I love the face, the hat and the colors she chose to use. She is one magnificent doll.
I returned home today from dog sitting since October 21st and need some time to get caught up and to regroup. I will be back starting on Monday, the 9th.
See you then!
