A New Favorite : :

The Owl parade continues today with the kids favorite one yet! If you didn't see yesterday's post - I mentioned that I decided to cut the giveaway a little early, to end right on Earth Day. As much as I love creating these little dolls, making them is usually slow, quiet work, and at this speed seems something better suited for late fall, early winter. Where I can sit peacefully, knitting their pieces and sewing there seams and details by hand. So, I plan on doing this again when the cold comes back around. And, after the giveaway, I will be sharing lots of other new things, many new dolls and felted goodness, and no doubt - new pillows!

There are only two days left until the winner of the giveaway will be announced and I appreciate everyone who has visited and commented. After listening to Haila play peek-a-boo with this owl, under the dining room table, I was inspired to take these photos.
The kids are always eager to help with choosing the yarns and the fabrics, and so it's only fair that they get to name them. Haila named this Owl - Molly Owl :


Thank you again for all the nice, funny, encouraging comments these last two weeks, honestly.

Today my son Jacob turns six - Happy birthday to my sweet boy!

  19. HOW MIKE LARRY LOAN FIRM GRANTED ME A BUSINESS LOAN!!!
    Hello everyone, I am Evans Torttor from USA and want to use this medium to express gratitude to MIKE LARRY for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, i was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, i was introduced by a friend named Esther to MIKE LARRY LOAN FIRM and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Esther said, i was also granted a loan of $387,000.00 USD; So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 3% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact MIKE LARRY LOAN FIRM. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, i'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on {mikelarryloanfirmworldwide@yahoo.com}
