***updated to add a bit about the bear***
Yes! Sorry, I was in such a hurry yesterday... this Little Miss Bear is a new doll I just finished up. I'm so happy with her. I've been trying for a while now to make a cute little animal-in-dress toy and I count this little gal as my first real success. She's 8" tall and made from wool and sporting a frock made from a recent vintage fabric score. Did I ever blog that? I am so behind. I was going to take the week off since I'm babysitter-less and it's a holiday week and we have all these kids to keep entertained but I'm going to try instead to post a little something everyday. 1. to be able to clear the "post about.." emails out of my inbox and 2. to try to get some momentum going!

Congratulations Lily Bamboo! And although it would seem I chose the winner by cute name-ness, it was actually the random number generator that did the dirty work. Oh, and Tim of course, who had to do all the counting. This was fun! And a little crazy.
I'll have another few fairy themed freebies up here sometime soon and in the meantime there are always freebies here.
Ok, back outside with me. The weather today in Chicago is perfect. Write it down, I said it...Chicago, weather and perfect all in the same sentence!
