So tired...so tired...but I feel free!

I am one of those people that I will help out a complete stranger even if I don't have the means to do it.  That is exactly what I did.  About 6 months ago I welcomed an older lady and her 5 dogs and 4 cats into my home to stay until she could get on her feet.  I wasn't expecting that it would last 6 months - but hey, what can you do?

Today - she moved out - with ALL of those animals - and will be starting a new life.  Which means...so will I!  I feel like a free bird. 

I wanted to show you my newest creation.  I worked on this creation for days - sanding and painting, staining and baking, stuffing and sewing...and finally it has been created.

I was really proud of this piece because I made it not only a piece of art - but it is functional as well.  It is a jewelry box - the purchaser also has the option of having their name put on the heart.  I love the face on this doll...this was fun and I loved finding little things to decorate it with along the way.  This piece is almost 12" tall and 6" wide.

I really want to go to bed - but I have tons of cleaning to do - TONS - and laundry - oh how I despise laundry...
