Here it is - the Saturday after Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a grand time on Thursday and you are still able to find a few leftovers of turkey and dressing in your refrigerator - they are always the best!

This particular day will be spent taking down all the autumn decorations (including the friendly scarecrow welcoming friends to my front door and oh by the way, he did a great job this year!) and then begin the slow journey of putting up Christmas decorations and lights! I already have the Christmas candles lighted in my kitchen and dining room this morning - it smells festive!

Our Little Wooden Doll is definitely excited about the new season, too! In the next few days, we will have postings of three new outfits:
  • Noel
  • Christmas Dinner with Mr. Darcy
  • Birding Girl

They are pretty cute and definitely one of a kind! Hope you like them too!

Got The 'Catitude'?

Got The ‘Catitude'?

Our Little Wooden Doll has it in super strength! The University of Cincinnati is dear to her heart and what a football season they are having! Undefeated with only two games to go (but one of those games will be quite the challenge).

Cheer on, Little Wooden Doll! Go Bearcats Go!

Ohio State University

Ohio State University

Our Little Wooden Doll has several favorite college football teams that she follows and one of them is OSU! Except when they play University of Cincinnati!

Making the trip up north to the “horse shoe or shoe as we call it” is also fun – lots of tailgating along Woody Hayes Drive with fabulous food. Everyone is wearing the “scarlet and gray” even our Little Wooden Doll! Sometimes we even get to see Brutus strolling about before the game begins! And remember Woody’s saying: “Success – it’s what you do with what you’ve got!” Believe it!

Go Buckeyes!

What a week I have had! And because of it, life as we happily knew it, was altered greatly. Probably making this sound more dramatic and traumatic than it actually was, but a couple of broken ribs sent me into some kind of creative funk! Took a nasty fall at work and the final verdict at the ER was "you will be in pain for at least four to six weeks". Are you kidding me?Who has time for that?

Luckily, I have a great boss and so I could crawl into my office for about three or four hours a day and tackle the ubiquitous paperwork in an attempt to keep caught up. After that, it was home for the drugs!

Yesterday I finally sat down and looked at my Little Wooden Dolls - they all stared back at me accusingly as so to say "where have you been?" Even Madison, my sweet little favorite, looked aghast at my neglect of them.

And so on this sunny November day, I went to task and worked on the fashions (some I have been working on, but haven't finished and some that are brand new for the Christmas season). Thinking also of something beautifully blue for Hanuka and something in earthy tones for Kwanzaa. But this morning, it was all about sports uniform. Sometime later today, we will post my Ohio State University's outfit - a little cheerleader of a sorts. Have a great little University of Cincinnati outfit and hope to have it posted by tomorrow or Wednesday (UC is my Alma Mater as well as still undefeated for this season!)

Going to make some Candy Cane tea and then sit down to watch and listen to Joel Osteen. I just bought his latest book and am putting faith in the theme of the first chapter -"You are closer than you think." Later.

Happy New Year's Eve-Red Glitter

Our Little Wooden Doll will be wearing this spectacular red sequin long dress with a matching cowl neckline. Of course, we envision her going off to a gala event with all of her friends to bring in the new year of 2010! Not only will she look beautiful, but she will be able to dance the night away!  Click here to see more of her...Happy New Year's Eve-Red Glitter

Going To The Tournament

Our Little Wooden Doll doesn’t want to sit on the bench today! She will give it all she has to help make her team take home the trophy. Dressed in a bright yellow top with royal blue shorts, bordered with white panels, she will be easy to spot on the field!  Click here to see more of her...Going To The Tournament

Yellow Bird

Don’t get our Little Wooden Doll confused with a sweet little yellow bird flitting through the woods on this beautiful autumn day! Borrowing a little sunshine from the universe, we find her dressed in lovely golden crushed velour with sparkly brown beads. A couple of bold feathers add a little extra merriment to her dress!  Click here to see more of her...Yellow Bird
