Christmas Blessings

Wow....is Christmas already over?! All I know is I feel stuffed! Stuffed with the delicious food and abounding love that makes me grateful and humble all at once. :)
I hope you all enjoyed your day and were able to spend it with your loved ones or doing whatever makes you happy and content. I do truly love being together with family for the Holidays and enjoying the seasons with the little ones.
This is Eudora...my newest, little lady.
She has a very soft face and sweet countenance. Her body is an old salt/ pepper shaker and her little porcelain arms are movable.
Eudora holds a paper garland with little copper bells to hang in her tea garden for the many, many parties she hosts for her dear friends and family. She loves a celebration and so her little tiara seems quite fitting.
I enjoyed making this dress...it's hard to tell in this picture but there are many, many layers of material that shape the hem. She is in my shop now. :)
Here is a little Christmas snapshot of my mantle. I just love this red, tin Hoosier from some little child's play kitchen of long ago. The doll heads seem to finally have a place to belong and, now, it appears there is room for a couple more! ;-)
Well, I guess it's time to rest and be thankful for God's blessings. I hope the New Year brings you all peace and prosperity...or, at least, some renewed creativity. It seems as though each New Year brings a new creative path and I enjoy seeing the path you all are on as you always inspire me. Thank you for visiting!
