“Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs
in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that
drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful
conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you will but remain
true to them, your world will at last be built.”

“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your Vision
is the promise of what you shall one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy
of what you shall at last unveil.”

***”Dreams are the seedlings of realities”***

–James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

I haven’t been doing many daily drawings. Okay, I haven’t done any.

But…I printed these and I’m really happy with them. My registration jig worked :)

I’m posting 10 of these in my shop. It’s a limited edition of 20.

a new seamstress with a house

Today was a big day for Brenna.

Here’s a new quilt and pillows for her doll house. She learned to sew on the sewing machine. Not only that, she had to measure and do math with fractions to figure out how big to cut her fabric allowing for seam allowances. She seemed like a natural. I think there will much more straight-line sewing in the days to come. She has patchwork plans for this little dollhouse, and wants to make a blankie for the new baby. We’ll see how interested she stays in this sewing thing. Using the machine was certainly a thrill. A girl after my own heart :)

After playing in the snow this afternoon she came up with something missing…

FINALLY.

Her top right front tooth has been hanging by a thread for days. That would have driven me crazy as a kid. I would have pulled it out a month ago. She just wanted to wait until it happened all on its own– “That’s the more natural way to do it, Mom.”

Well, she swallowed it, naturally.
