I've got literally one minute (probably) to post... Typing with my left hand while I nurse Lola to sleep. Then once she's down it's back to the grind. Georgia's birthday is this weekend and I am amidst piles off cooking, cleaning and crafting in preparation for her party. I might have over-estimated what I can accomplish before then. I thought I had everything planned, but life (and a bit of procrastination has gotten in the way, and I find myself pairing down my "to-dos" to absolute essentials.
I'm bummed that a few things will go undone. Like actually mailing out invitations. I guess it's too late now. But, the big disappointment tis that her birthday doll looks like this:
Above, is all I could manage to write here last week. Now I find myself on the other side of Georgia's third birthday. With a little bit of time, a little bit of peace, and a whole lot of mess. But, the mess is kind of beautiful in that way that the piles can build up a bit as there are no guests expected to see them, and they aren't doing anyone any harm. In fact, if we don't bother them they won't bother us...Really, in the morning light the clutter ALMOST looks beautiful.

it iS beautiful! - great doll!
Way to go on the hair cap for the doll! You are an expert crocheter!
Sometimes I can't stand toys all over the place, and other times I think, someday there won't be cars, super heros, dinosaurs, and doll house furniture to step on that makes me curse under my breath. Then I'll be sad wishing those little people still were little leaving traces of their presence around the house. I suppose it may just change forms from toys to laundry. :-) In any case, one day it will be all gone and we'll find ourselves wishing for those times again.
