Happiness is found when you stop comparing yourself to other people.
I promise I will not show off about being on holidays once
again. My holidays start with caring for my sons girlfriend who yesterday sat
in the dentist chair and had 4 wisdom teeth extracted. Bravo Emma! Such a
strong girl to face what I would consider terrifying. Today she is recovering
well and I am so proud of her.π
I am also proud of my sonπ for his support of Emma and going
in the room with her while the procedure went on. All my suffering was.....π
So one of my latest orders was to knit a pretty doll and some clothing and accessories to go with her. Here she is....how beautiful! This little treasure is knitted in 8 ply yarn with very bright colours. I am so very happy with how she turned out.
Here I demonstrate how the mitt fits.
While on holidays I have already planned my main projects.
One will be to clean out my wardrobe of old clothing and those not suiting my
body right now. I also plan to re arrange my storage system in the sewing shed.
Emma has offered me these glass jars and of course I will find something to put
in them.
One thing I am thankful for is finding wonderful friends in
blog land as their creations and craft inspire me. Even if I don't get to make
everything I see, I can get ideas. Recently I visited a favourite blog and
found some crochet blocks. I looked at the drawn instructions and decided to
give the pattern a go. I was pretty sure I would not be able to make this but I
did. Visit this beautiful blog...click here.π
Sprung Milo!!!!!! Got you!!!!
That
beautiful face!
Not
when you dig up my garden naughty boy
Well, if you can't beat them join them. I will be naughty
too. πWithout saying too much.....only could I find such a book with this
title. For my Italian friends when you translate "Fuzzy doodle".
A good Sunday to you all.
Ciao, Anita. ...

Good to see you making the most of your holidays. And well done to Emma. No fun but hopes she is a quick healer.
Your doll and clothing are totally gorgeous. That is a delightful collection.
And well done with your crochet pattern. i can see you using those little flowers everywhere.
It still looks warm for you.Have you had any rain for the garden?
Anita, you have a beautiful and nice face.
Have a good week.
The doll is soooo sweet and cute! I love her! And Milo too! That quote you shared at the beginning of your post is something I struggle with. Esp. comparing myself to Russell's ex wife, esp. as it relates to the grandsons. I always feel like a nobody and will be pushed aside and maybe he'd get back together with her. My logical self knows it's not true.....he's told me over and over that 1. He can't stand the woman and 2. I've done more for the kids than she has, and actions speak louder than words.
Best of luck to Emma as she recovers. Love the doll you knit Anita, what a great gift that will make. Enjoy your week.
Ciao mia cara Anita, anche oggi post veramente ricco! leggere i tuoi articoli mi piace sempre tanto, la tua intelligente ironia Γ¨ unica! Ora voglio dirti, che anch'io vorrei supportare la coraggiosa Emma (che bel nome Emma!) per aver tolto 4 denti tutti in un solo giorno....complimenti ad Emma di cuore! la bambola Γ¨ bellissima e tutto il suo guardaroba di completi, altrettanto. Sei un vulcano di idee e sei veramente instancabile. Finisco con un pensiero per il mio tenero Milo, ho capito che ama fare buche nel giardino (hi hi hi) lascialo divertirsi un po'.......dopo Anita sistema tutto.
Ti abbraccio cara e ti auguro buon W.E.
Laura
