Does this picture conjure up longing memories of a warm day at an island beach? In fact, this picture could have been easily taken on a tropical beach.<\/p>\n

This is Lake Ontario, yesterday. If only the water was clean and warm…<\/p>\n

So February turned out not to be so cold after all. We broke records with 17.7 Celsius on February 23rd. Between writing projects and work, I spruced up February with an unexpected project.<\/p>\n

When I was little I asked my mum for a rag doll but she gave up sewing it half way.<\/p>\n

I never did get my rag doll. I didn’t plan on it but got a book from the library, which turned into a head scratcher. It lacked instructions on certain sewing\u00a0stages so I have to put on my problem-solving cap and find a solution using the right side of my brain. I know I am a creative person and a good story teller but sewing a doll was a surprise in its entirety. \u00a0You never know until you try it and I tried it.<\/p>\n

This is my fortuitous fruition. A rag doll made from leftover scraps. The blonde is mine with her tube dress. Now my dear friend Lili’s handmade doll has a friend.<\/p>\n

We’re chillin’.<\/p>\n
