Dripping Off my Tongue......

.........are thoughts and words of gratitude. Sipping hot coffee as I look out the kitchen window, "Good morning Creative Spirit. How are we going to play?" The weather conditions are not my ideal but I know the Creative Spirit will undoubtedly find a way to dissolve the clouds and rain away.  It's rainy, windy and cold so I'll put on my thick green garden boots and my green fishing cap to brave the elements. Remember the colorform boards where we would dress the boy or girl creating a scene with that plastic that stuck to the board? That was fun! I think I will be one of those. Have to go out and feed my herd of goat (nope didn't forget the "s"- I only have one and she is precious).
This is Molly


 Hey Creative Spirit, we had such fun drawing "Elsie the Cow". I went on to select another project. This one I am not having as much fun with. It has to much "me" in it. What would You like to do with it? If it were left up to me I would have tossed it in the trash several times. (Good thing I don't listen to "me"). Every time I think of getting rid of it You tell me "no, be patient". So patience it is, and I continue to look for areas I'm missing. Maybe, when it's all done I'll call it "Fine Wine" because the longer it sits the better it gets (the wine that is).

in progress
 I've just ordered a drawing tablet to expand my talents. I've shied away from exploring the capabilities of digital tools for some time now. I'm anxious and excited to see what we can do with this new toy. It should arrive some time next week. In the meantime, dear Creative Spirit, I know You are with me as we explore all the fun and interesting things each day brings.

The finished size of this doll is 6 inches without the hat and 10 inches with the hat. Size is dependent on the yarn and hook used.  So, let's get started.
