Chinese Opera Threater & Black & White Swaps

Where does the time go?

Last I recall it was autumn ...Halloween ...

Now it is almost December 1st! Christmas!

Gads....I thought I would get a head start on the shopping thingy....went into Lowe's ..what a waste of time. First, if you are a gal and have that look on your face that says....This is way beyond my knowledge...sales people run from you!

Actually, I was in the section for air guns, drivers and compressors....guess who wants a combo....well, after almost 40 minutes reading each and every descriptions...I was still in the dark!

I had picked up a block of seeds ... that's about all. The doves and quail who live in the side garden were assured a gift....Nope! went to check out in the garden department...I park there and go in....the gates were closed....and so I left the cart, with the block of seeds, jumped in my car...headed home to enjoy an espresso! No one thing purchased!!

That was 2 days ago! I did manage to finish several of the dolls for swaps. Pictured is my selection for my partner in Pin doll Alley of a Kabuki Clown ...and the little Kimono Bag that I

make for the pins to travel in and for storage.

Starting December....the theme is Santa or his Elf's....I worked on a the face one day....normally I have to do several faces before I am pleased....first one was a good one...today I worked on the

body, hands, and the beset parts...embellishments and hats....She turned out rather sparkling.

I cannot post till it is posted to my partner, speaking of which, this is my second month in a row I am still waiting for my partners to get off their butts and send me my little dolls.

Halloween pin and this month Black and White swap.

The partner I had before ....my pin arrived trashed out. Needless to say I am not getting good results from these three swaps. Mike suggested that I wait till I get one before I send one.

Sounds like a plan to me.....

It has turned winter while I turned my back. Cold, rain and very cold at night.

I wish someone would send me the Christmas Cheer as I am just not in the mood for Christmas!

On that note I will leave you....as always Silvery Moonbeams to Watch over you
