Are you ready for that time of year when you need to wrap up something special for that some one special? It's too early to even think about it, but I don't want to find myself with so many unfinished dolls when I need them. So TADA - announcing the week long doll bee at Attic Window Quilt Shop starting Nov 28 and going thru Dec 1, 2011. The times are 10:30 am on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. For Tuesday, we'll meet after the regular Tuesday Bee...say 1:00 pm. The bee fee will be $5 for the entire marathon (4 days of classroom use).
Hope to see you there!
Bring whatever doll you wish to finish during the week. I hope to get several finished! Including these MYO dolls that should have been finished and posted on Etsy many months ago.
On another note: I have been looking for ways to "clean green". I find I am allergic (or something like that) to many of the green cleaning products you find at the grocery stores. I have been using Doctor Bronner's pepperment soap for many years and just found out that I could add some hydrogen peroxide to clean a spot on the carpet. This spot has been a thorn in my side for many years! Even the professional carpet cleaners couldn't get it....but good old Dr B and the hydrogen peroxide got it right out. I used the food grade stuff diluted down to disinfect my counter top and had a bit left over, so I added the soap and used the rest on the carper. Awesome stuff. Here's the link that gave me the idea: http://www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.com/. It's an enviromentaly safe cleaner that I plan on using a lot more.
While I am cleaning the kitchen, you go have some doll fun - so at least one of us has some fun today - Julie
PS - I found that the magic bullet glasses that I never use make a wonderfull shaker (use the lid with the larger holes) for my new green scour powder - borax.
