We decided on a gingerbread church this year, complete with stained glass windows and it turned out pretty well š It looks great to the kids anyway and that’s the main thing!
I wish you all a beautiful, holy and peaceful Christmas. Happy Birthday to Jesus, King of the World!!
This one is for a little girl with big blue eyes. The cute fabric for her dress is from Retro Mummy.
I have to tell you about the hair. The customer requested a “deep honey” colour which was somewhat challenging to find. At The Craft Circle I found this handspun wool that has the most gorgeous
warm, earthy tones of brown and gold. It suits the doll’s warm skin most beautifully.
Alright, enough gushing about dolls!
On the home front I’ve had 2 sick children this week so not a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to next week doing Easter crafts and preparation. Easter is such a special time, I love the closing of Lent, the beautiful Masses of Holy Week and the joyous celebration of Our Lord’s resurrection.
Have a great weekend!
Today is the beginning of 40 days of fasting and penance for Lent to prepare for Easter. As Jesus went into the desert for 40 days before the crucifixion we try to imitate Him as we prepare to celebrate his Resurrection at Easter. It is a great time of “toughening up” mentally, physically and spiritually by challenging yourself to go without and denying yourself comforts and luxuries.
