The Nina Doll

This is a doll that I want to make for my little Violet. I have a whole book of different styles, but I think it would be a fun hobby in all my free time. The instructions are all in Japanese, but, no matter, the drawings are quite detailed. Maybe if I get started I can show you pics as I go.

You are probably wondering where I have been. ........It was a very busy Christmas time because I work at the Kristmas Kringle Shoppe. I love, love, love all the sparkly, pretty things. I mainly do personalizing on the ornaments, but, working with the product is also something I really enjoy.

The show applications have been pouring in. We have made a decision to cut way back this year. It will look something like this:

Minocqu- June 3
St. Germain June 9
Arbor Vitae July 7
Artarama July 14
Land O Lakes July 22
St. Germain July 31
Mercer August 1
Minocqua August 2
St. Germain August 6
Green Lake August 11-12
Eagle River August 15
Wales August 18
All these are tentative, and I will re-affirm them as I get them out. I have significantly cut back on shows. I will not be doing as many Flea Markets in St. Germain as I have the past couple of years. Things just are not what they used to be, and I must pick the very best to go to this year.

I need to take some time to play with my new grand-daughter, Violet.
