Look for this as a class soon,she is all cloth and will be loads of fun
to embellish her the way you want to. I had a blast using all sorts of items.

I Am Still Creating

Hello Everyone! I am sorry I haven't been able to tend to my blog much this year, but that will soon change. I am recuperating from my knee surgery and doing well. I have a physical therapist visit me three times a week to help exercise the leg. I am swimming a little every other day which helps the knee tremendously.

Even though the first part of this year I was plagued with illnesses and knee surgery, my creative genes did not abandon me. I kept at my side my trusty notebook/sketchbook. I have been secretly designing several doll patterns that I can't wait to share them with you when they are ready. But you will love them!

With my knee getting better I have been able to sit at my sewing table or at my computer table a few minutes a day. I want to say thank you to everyone who sent me well wishes. They were appreciated more than you know.

Love to each and everyone one of you,
Kat

Hand Painted Cabinet

I have been a very busy lady. My daughter has a gift shop here in Florida in our town. Her shop is going on three years young.....she is holding her own as they say. She just moved to a larger building with 8 rooms.
She asked me to paint this old sewing machine cabinet........and here is the results. I am very happy with the way this turned out.......what do you all think? Hugs, Kat

FRIENDSHIPS

What does friendship mean to each you? Do you value your girl friends?

I love the Victorian era and all that is represents. I especially enjoy the old antique photographs. There are so many wonderful collections available today. We are so lucky to be able to look into the past and cherish a time that meant family, love and loyalty. This is one of my favorite photos in my growing collection of a bygone era. This photo to me represents what friendship is all about. We can achieve many materials items in this lifetime, but they are just that things that make us comfortable and inflate our egos.................BUT, to have the love, respect and friendship of others is far more important than anything we can purchase. So to all my Friends old and new, this photo is for you all..........Love and Hugs, Kat Lees
