My shop is filling up again with the most charming of ladies. They are all gaily dressed and are in the best of spirits.
They are all bright and cheery as can be.
Oh, but one, Fru (Mrs.) Elvenes is resting her eyes. She might be a bit sleepy but she is already a wee bit famous - just spotted at Chelsea Ann's blog.
I snapped this shot the other day after one of our big snow storms. My husband got a good workout lifting all those shovelfulls of snow! Now we are wondering two things, what the rest of the winter has in store for us and when spring is going to come? I suppose it really is too early to start counting the days... I am so enjoying all the guilt-free time indoors knitting, sewing, playing cards with the family or reading to the children.
They all are just lovely and that is a lot of snow!

Oh, such lovely ladies, indeed. Please tell Fru Elvenes that beauty sleep is unnecessary. She has already arrived.

We have a similar amount of snow "back home," and I am really enjoy the snow while I sip on tea and gaze out the window while Ollie does the heavy lifting/shoveling/cleaning off of cars.
And I love your new dolls! I especially love how you use larger prints in smaller-scale projects. A lot of people are so afraid to do that but I always admire the result: especially that feathery red bit on Fru Calson's tummy!
XO,
Rhea
