Fingerless Gloves

I have wanted these gloves for a year now.  I thought they'd be great for when I'm embroidering, weaving or had stitching seams closed.  My hands can get pretty cold and all though my finger tips would still be exposed it is more coverage than if I didn't wear any.

And for Christmas Taylor surprised me with them!  I really had no idea, didn't expect it in the least!  And I love them! The gloves and my children :).  They are the greatest bunch a mom could have. The gloves do in fact help my hands and fingers from being as cold.  I'm trying to talk Taylor into gloves that do have finger holes, but not tips for when she's playing the piano.  She said she'd feel like a hobo or something, lol.  Although she did agree to give some with no fingers holes a try.

Basket Making

Taylor has really gotten into basket making.  When she graduated in June we took her to Suzanne Moore's place in Vass, NC.  She is extremely nice and helpful.

Here are a couple of the basket's Taylor has made...
(This one Eva helped with.)

This second basket is in the shop.  She will be adding more soon.

Doll Clothes

I wanted to share a few pictures of the dresses Taylor made.

She had been praying about her missions giving when the Lord provided the oppertunity to sell doll items in a store downtown.  It has gone really well for her.

I love my cork board.  I got the idea years ago from my MIL's sewing room.

Taylor made a little rack for hanging the clothes on her side of the sewing table.

I need to do a little bit of work in there.  Like, repaint the walls!!  I like the green but it just really doesn't flow with my green girl dress form I got in Canton, TX or my green shelf.
