from Russia with love.

Well almost.
I've been working on some more fabric nesting dolls, they were so fun to make, but I think the best part was picking their names. Meet, Zhanna, Anastasiya, Natalya and Renata.


 
   
  
  
  

I am kinda sad to let my new Russian friends go, but I am sure they will all find great homes. They are all up for sale in my Etsy shop, so head over to read about their favorite colors, hopes and dreams. 

We had another really warm, and beautiful day here today, it was in the 60's and I just couldn't justify staying inside studying and crafting, so I took the doggies for a long walk. I live across the street from the most adorable house ever, doesn't it just look like a real life ginger bread house?


 
  
  

Looks like spring is right around the corner! Otis and Cupcake were acting like weirdos today, they definitely look like they did something they weren't suppose to, and were crossing their paws I wouldn't find out what.

 

Cupcake had another check up on Saturday, and it is an ulcer after all. I noticed he is missing a chunk of his eyeball when I was in the waiting room, and he finally opened his eye. Yes, a chunk..missing. How horrible is that. So another week of never ending eye drops and medicine, and another check up on Thursday, hopefully he won't have to have surgery this time. Poor little monkey.
The medicine is making him super sleepy, and here he is sleeping on top of my clean clothes. Aww.

 

I finished up a few more pet portraits, I must say I love looking at the cute pictures you ladies email me of your pets, it never gets old, I swear. It is also making me want another puppy, however, I feel like I should concentrate on getting Cupcake back to his old self. <3

 
  

How cute are they! :) 
I also wanted to show you some rather embarrassing pictures of what I woke up to this morning. I am usually pretty good about cleaning up after myself since I don't have my own craft room anymore, and craft in the living room. Yikes. Lucky for me Josh finally got a job, and  I think he was too tired to notice when he got up this morning,


 
  

Looks like a tornado hit, huh? Hopefully sometime soon I'll have my own space to craft and be messy :)
I hope you all had a wonderful day <3

xoxo.

Hi, I've just discovered your blog and I absolutely love it! You are so incredibly talented! The matryoshka are beautiful, and your puppies are adorable. I'll definitely be stopping by again.

Love the nesting dolls. I collect different nesting dolls (or rather nesting dolls in different forms) and I'm definately going to check yours out. :) Thanks!

Poor Cupcake!! I hope he feels better soon.

My craft area is in the living room too. Unfortunately for me, we have a whole room dedicated to rafts, but I can't use it because Chris's stuff is so big (drums, easels, boxes upon boxes of paints and canvases). So I get the living room, and it pretty much looks like your pictures all the time. Lots of yarn + tiny apartment = constant mess.

Congratulations to Josh for finding work!!

xo,

I'd been doing my crafting in the living room too, and I got so fed up with the mess that I spent nearly a week to completely organize my craft space.
