Wow - whoever said don't piss off the Fairies, meant it.  When I politely asked Ivy to model as a Christmas elf (I mean with those ears, it just stands to reason) she was livid.  Wouldn't smile or stand still for anything.  She was insulted that I would ask her to be an elf.  I can't wait to see what she thinks when I get out the sleigh.  If she thinks being an elf is insulting, wait until she sees what I have planned for St. Patrick's Day. 

We're off again this week.  We leave on Friday for Strongsville, Ohio.  I've never been to Strongsville, I hear it's outside of Cleveland.  Bonnie and I mapped it out last week and it looks like we may have quite a few quilt shops to hit on the trip.  Like I need more fabric. 

I'm impatiently waiting on my new Kaye Wiggs to arrive.  I have preordered Miki and she is due September/October.  I can't wait.  She's quite tall - 45 centimeters.  I guess that comes out to 18 inches or so.  I haven't sewed for something that tall in quite some time. 

The picture to the left is of Tulah in her new Christmas dress, she wanted to stand next to an elf.  And still, Ivy doesn't look really happy to be called an elf.  She'll get over it.  I really need to get some shoes for these girls.
