ABC Wednesday -- D

Dancing would be an obvious hobby for me to do on “D” week! But I actually don’t have any good pictures of hubby and I dancing. Boo hoo. Instead I give you:
D is for Doll making
Jenn made these two dolls while we were with hubby on a 6 month business trip in another state. She had to make them both by hand as we didn’t have a sewing machine with us. I believe she gave them to her young cousins for Christmas that year. I was really proud of the work she did.
Had to include this pic, even though it’s not very clear, because Jenn was always making dolls out of sticks and leaves when playing outside. Both our kids have always been imaginative and clever. Awwww.

Many ladies I know make dolls…quite impressive to me. I love the story behind this friend’s doll....read about it on her blog. I wonder if she used to make dolls when she was a little girl? :)

Be sure to read about the “Comfort Doll Project”. I love this.

Check out ABC Wednesday for more blogs participating. It’s fun!

Just so you know, I'm gonna have to be there on a Sunday when you dance so I can photograph and video your dancing. We should do it before "S" week so you can do "Scottish Dancing"!!!
