SpRiNg Cleaning and Standing On My Head


Been SpRiNg ClEaNiNg!!! It's a work out.
Spring Cleaning CONTINUES and look what I found up in the spare room...a couple of my dolls that I made way back when. I boxed them up 3 years ago when we were moving out of the Farm House we rented and moved into our old stone house that's in an itty bitty prairie town.
I practically stood on my head to get this plastic box out of the SpArE rOoM JUNGLE. There was a great sense of satisfaction when I unwrapped my doll and displayed her in the oak china cabinet that's in my family room. The dishes that were in it are now getting boxed up until the kitchen is completed with cabinets that will hold them. The other doll sits up on top of the same cabinet.
It's like morph city around here. Things are continually moving from here to there to there again. Oh well...it keeps us in motion and we're getting our exercise. Alot of times it's like hide and seek around here. Keeps it interesting.

Do you collect dolls or have one? I'm glad to have these dollies out of their boxes and displayed about our home.
Sweet day to you,
~Deanna~

Do you make a lot of dolls Deanna? Do you sew their clothes or combine already made clothes and outfits?

I don't collect dolls, nor does my daughter or her daughters. However, my mother-in-law has an extensive collection and fortunately she has many great-granddaughters who will appreciate the dolls she is already beginning to hand down.

Prayers for you and yours~

Hi there! Happy Spring for sure.

Kathy, I haven't sewn any of my dolls clothing. They either come dressed or I find something for them. The doll in the cabinet clothes were purchased at a Texas Doll Shop. The seamstress did an awesome job on the dress, under garments and hat.

I've made maybe 8 dolls is all and it's been nearly 20 years since I did. Mercy time flies.

Blessings,

OH Dee, they are beautiful. I love dolls. Have a few in my guest bedroom for the grands to play with and have made clothes for their dolls. I do not have a collection. I am out of room for collections. Lots of fun to sew for them.

Deana,

I tell ya I don't understand either where all the believers went. What happened to being kind and doing unto others as you would want done to you? I guess the wallet thief wants this to happen to them as well. Life is just plain crazy sometimes.

Still keeping the faith strong.

Have a great week.

Hugs,
Heidi
PS. Thank you for your prayers they really do help.

Dd,

I had forgotten how stunning your large doll you made is until you managed to get her out and put her in the glass cabinet. Absolutely beautiful.

In fact your entire collection of dolls need to be on display. Hopefully we will have room for them in the near future.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
