what I'm reading....

I've been inspired....watching reels and tiktoks of people doing cool shit.

cutting up a book and making it into a spooky library. making displays of tiny treasures. turning ordinary clothes into bohemian clothes. patchwork pillows. caftans from thrifted chenille bedspreads. turning an old thrift store miniature granddaddy clock into a circus. making tiny rooms for tiny characters. a birdcage of doll heads. cutting doll head in half and making into rooms....weird crazy creative greatness.

picked up construction trash at farm, mowed, weed-eated, and chopped/loaded scrap.

It’s the last day of school! We will now have a 5th grader, a 3rd grader, and a 1st grader (and Millie will be in preschool for one more year!)

Growing up my siblings and I often heard "Dammit, Janet" whenever dad would get frustrated with mom. I honestly think he just said it as it rhymed. 😅 Regardless mom got John a dammit doll he kept at work. I decided ALL of us (Brenda , Deb , and Janet ) need our own dolls. So when I saw these tonight I snatched them up!

I've been watching tons of Bigfoot stuff on tubi. literally TONS.

ran out of stuffing on Violets snake, so sewed Coralie and Millie's, and Izzy's head before I got bored with it.

each one is even more adorable than the last. Izzy's has velvet from Katie's Madonna dance outfit. Violet's velvet is from a Princess Hulk dress I made Zerelda. the head on Millie's snake is my old well worn tie dye t-shirt. they all have the same eyes, but positioned differently. Cora's has big cat prints from some of Zerelda's outgrown clothes. they really are like quilts. each has a story to tell. I hope the kids feel all the love put into them.

this brought tears to my eyes.
