| Adorable and not Barbie-proportioned! |
These arrived in the mail today—presents from my friend Cathy. Aren’t they adorable? The dressform part is about 3 ½ inches high. Cathy said she saw them and thought of me! I WILL find ways to display them all year around. They are just too fabulous.

| I kind of want one for myself. |
Today, I made buttonholes again. I made this nightshirt at least a year ago, but meant to make it about 3 years ago. I made one just like it for my friend Laura’s baby shower. I thought with the buttons down the front, it would make life easier for the new mommy. Our friend Jacqui mentioned that she loved it and I decided to make another for her. So here it is 3 or 4 years later. Jacqui has 2 kids and probably no intention of any more, but I finally have buttonholes in this thing. So I just have to sew on the buttons and this will finally be on its way.
The fabric hanging behind the nightshirt is a little preview, by the way. I plan to recover my couch with it. I am still trying to decide whether to use it vertically or horizontally. And I am still ambivalent about whether to reupholster or to make a slipcover. Tune in again in January when I start on that project.
Maybe tomorrow will finally be the cookie-thon. I was just jonesing to make buttonholes today. I guess this is what happens after getting past the phobia. I have moved on to philia.
I also need to make a recon into Center City to check out this year’s Christmas Village and this charming Victorian candy shoppe. And laundry. There’s always laundry, isn’t there?
