My Living WillLast night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."So she got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine.




She's such a bitch.....
OK I had to put this here today. Got my laugh. Hope you do too!

Boy last week was long but ended great. Mom is the hospital over night on Sunday, had to take my Grandmother to the doctor out of town on Wednesday, and Cody had 2 dentist appointments, the doctor about his foot and his allergy shots on Thursday. He wasn't feeling well on Friday, but got better so we went on to the beach for my Birthday on Saturday. We had Beautiful weather down there. Now to get some dolls made and my house cleaned up. Hope everyone has a great week.

Well my Mom gave us kids a scare Sunday.
We got a call for her sister that mom had past out while eating breakfast. Jamie and I went to the hospital and waited until 3P.M when they transfered her to the hospital in our home town. They kept her over night and let her go home tonight about 5P.M. They believe it is just the meds she is on with her slepp apnea. They had her on sleeping pills with that! So now she has a new Doctor and we hope he gets her straightened out. After losing dad last year on Father's Day we can't lose mom too.
Well just wanted to get that off my chest. Thanks for reading.

Vicki's newest patterns. So beautiful and you get 4 dolls in one pattern.


My Twilight Dreams
It was upon a summer's night,
I fell asleep to dream Twilight.

Dreaming dreams of her it's clear
Twilights close and forever near.

She spoke a song of fanciful things,
Of angel's dust and purple wings.

Her star filled voice floated through the night
I feared for sure she would leave my sight.

With unspoken lips she heard my plea
Twilight answered, "Yes, it's me."

You've dreamed your dreams and made us four
Dream your dreams of us no more.




The Fantasy Four
This is my 50th pattern and I wanted to make it magical. Make four dolls or one with four costumes. Two eye styles and four hair styles to choose from. The costumes are simple and removable. Take the mermaids tail off and turn her into a ballerina, take the fairy sprites wings and put them on the princess, the magic and the fantasy is yours................



the Fantasy four.........comes with 1/2 yard of Windsor fabric to make all four 10 inch dolls....complete instructions with step by step color photos on CD in a PDF format. Paper pattern for dolls and clothes is included. (No special coupons or discounts can be used for this pattern.) This pattern will be mailed on Tuesday, September 11, 2007, by priority mail.

My son in 2002. This is one of my favorite photos of him.
I used the kit Enchanted by Elizabeth Lane at SOTB.
I love this kit because of the great blues and golds.

Wednesday, September 05, 2007

Into the night more dreams were found
Crowns and gowns and mystical sounds.

Lords and ladies they did visit
To view her beauty quite exquisite.


Her majesty shown untold riches
Dragons, kings and magical witches.

Who was this before me, must I bow?
Princess Lacy said "Not now"

With unspoken lips she heard my plea
The princess answered, "Yes, it's me."
Spin your dreams to make us four,
Tomorrow night dream us more
OK here is the third of four. Can you guess us ever more.
Boy Ms. Vicki has us all trying to guess who will be the last doll.
Any guesses. Read each poem and see if you can guess.
