GGGGOOOO BBBEEEAAARRRSSS!!!!!!

Whooo-hoo!!!!! I can't believe it! We're going to the Superbowl!! We're going to the Superbowl!!!

I hated to have to play New Orleans, cuz if the Bears couldn't make it they were gonna be my team!! And Reggie Bush-you rookie!! You shouldn't have taunted Urlacher and the boys, cuz once you pissed them off that changed the whole momentum of the game! But I will say thanks you cuz I think thats what got our defense riled up and after that they never gave up another thing the whole rest of the game!


GGGOOOO BEARS!!

OK, but I must say, even though I'm a Chicago girl, I'm feeling a little conflicted. My favorite player in the whole NFL, Peyton Manning is now the enemy! Oh the humanity!! I'm so happy to see Peyton finally get to the big show, but I'm sorry we'll have to kick his butt all over the field on Feb. 4th! hehehe! What a great bowl its gonna be this year!

OK, SORRY!!! I know this has nothing to do with dollmaking, but I couldn't help myself! Its a happy Monday here in Chicago!

Country Cottage Needleworks

Here is the ornament I did from the JCS magazine ornament issue. I am keeping it out on my dowel tree. I hope to fill this little tree up with other cute country smalls as a yearlong project.

Progress...

Here is my Home of a Needleworker WIP. This is a pleasure to stitch! I am working it on 32 ct overdyed Zweigart linen using 1 strand of DMC over 2. This is a Little House Needleworks design-love everything she does!! AND, I have just discovered the works of her daughter, Country Cottage Needleworks, which are a little more shabby chic in design, I love them!! I did an ornament from this designer and I love it so much I'm keeping it out all year!
