big blue eyes

I can't believe March is almost over already. I lost about 3/4 of it to allergies. I'm looking forward to April just because it won't be March! Today the mail brought a pretty blue-green floral dress from princess51. I have another blue floral dress from her that I bought last year, and I love it! When I went to grab her URL just now I and I saw an apricot floral dress. Snatched!! April is quite...

Middie window shopping

Do you ever see a dress and think, "Oh, that's totally my girl!" Aury can wear anything by virtue of being a blonde who has an all around fun and sweet personality, there's nothing she does not love. And my blue-haired Drew is very amenable to lots of different looks. But Miss Beatrix just has a more librarian feel about her and prefers to look suitably vintage and/or polished. Plummery wears...

I spy a picture of Amy as Jerri...

I love a good March frock, which to me is just a nice springy dress for those first pleasant days of warmer weather,...

I suppose I've actually been in the mood for these colors for a while -- I designed my current blog layout around pink, orange, and mustard, and I'm crocheting a blanket with those colors, as you probably know!! I am just satiating my color compulsion all over the place... I picked up some t-shirts on sale...

goodbye, February; hello, March

Still ripplin'! Here is what I accomplished during the month of February. I would say it's about 18 inches in height right now. If you're a Blyther, here's Plummery as a height reference. I have discovered that this is no longer a throw. It's a full-fledged blanket, son. It may only be a foot and a half tall, but it's six feet and four inches wide. That's the entire length of my mattress...
