I forgot to tell you that Sam did not find her forever home yet, and she is still staying with us. I loved having her here for the Holiday's but I wish she'd find a new Mom of her own. I know it makes her sad.
Love <3 and prayers for Sam,

2012
Well, 2012 is here!
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Mom and I have spent the Holiday's since Christmas knitting and crocheting some clothes for my sized dolls. She made crocheted bootie style slippers, a Knitted skirt, a knitted and crocheted wrap sweater, a knitted and crocheted purse, a crocheted headband and Crocheted UGG style boots. She is now working the second pair of Ugg's from the same ball of yarn, and this pair is a shorter pair than the first. The first pair went up to my knee, this pair is an ankle boot style. So, what is my actual job in this you ask? I am the mannequin she fits the stuff on, lol. I have to sit still for long periods of time and wait. It's ok, my clothes are cute that I have on. too bad om won't let me keep the outfit. If all goes well photos will be taken tomorrow of most of it.
My family has a second Etsy store now as well and we make and sell cross stitch patterns in that store. It is Blip 103 Patterns. yes, we use the 103 often, lol. It has no meaning, other than when Dad was making an email account a long time ago, that no longer exists, there was a comic book by him called Blip 103 and hence it stuck. Mom and Dad combine their email's into Lemonhead 103, since they both make the merchandise.
Well Mom told me she needs to finish a pattern for the pattern store so she wants her computer back.
Love <3,
Beth
PS.
This is Beth's Mom, she gets to keep a toasty cozy pair of Ugg style boots. I am not completely heartless. LOL and if I can get everything done, I'll try to work an outfit in too, no promises though. It took me 5 days t knit and crochet all that since I made my patterns as I went along, and I need to make her Doll cousins in PA sets for gifts first as we give to others before we satisfy our own desires.. I want to send them to the PA Doll Cousins for Valentine's Day since they are coozy winter styles.

Wow it's almost here
December flew by. It seems like it was just Thanksgiving. I am so looking forward to Christmas with my new family.
We have been a busy bunch. Mom made the boy's a set of bunk beds. It is so cool. I like to hang out on them as well. There is going to be an upcoming blog post about them in January and I will share the link to them.
I have been busy as well.I am learning to knit. I hope I can get the boys some blanket's finished before Christmas. I have half of one done and I did all of it in one day, so it might happen. I am making super soft fuzzy blankets. I hope the boys like them.
This is a short post, I need to finish the blankets and time is a ticking, so I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanzaa.
Love <3

This Christmas
Sorry that I have not posted much lately. I have been hanging out with Sam until she gets adopted. We've been watching Christmas specials and eating tons of popcorn and having so much fun. I am really giong to miss her when she goes to her new home. She is so much more fun to hang around with than Katie. Kendal and Andy are fine, but sometimes a girl needs a girl to hang with.
I hope everyone has been on their best behavior, Santa is watching... speaking of which, I think that mom is going to call Santa and report my human brother Ryan because he is not doing his homework. My mom text messages the elves when the 2 human brothers act up. She never has to report the doll kids, we behave. I think we are so happy to not be all beat up and in good will it helps us with our behavior. You can't list your people kids on Ebay or Etsy, but us doll kids can have happen, and when you are happy you need to show it by behaving.
(I still have nightmares about Goodwill...and the smell...and once again I have to say that I am greatful for the love and the repairs. Thanks Mom!)
We have the outsde decorated, Dad put up his little village and our doll kid tree is decorated, but the big tree is not up yet. I guess Mom and Dad will work on that this week. Mom doesn't like to rush into it. We leave the tree up until Russian Christmas is over. Russian Christmas is on January 7th. Our tree will not be touched until January 8th at the earliest. Mom's ancestors were of Russian Orthodox desent, so my Mom was raised to observe the Russian holiday as well. This means at our home we leave all the decorations up after New Years, and we don't light the outside until January7, and that night we light it all again. We don't do any more gifts, this is a more spiritual observance than a commerical one.
I am looking forward to my first christmas with my new family. I hope we have a great one.

Saying Goodbye to Sam
Well it is time to get ready to say good-bye to one of the foster kids. I hope Sam finds a family who will love her like mine does. Mom has her looking pretty and she is going to be a great friend to a new human, I just know it. I will miss her. Andy thinks that she is his twin, and I know he will be heart broken when she leaves.
Well she is up for adoption on etsy right now and we spent some time together this weekend.
Here is to you Sam, hope you end up happy where ever you go.

Christmas Tree
Yesterday, we decorated a tree! Well Kendall and Katie didn't want to help, so Andy and I decorated the tree together, just the two of us, and we had a good time. I really love Andy, he can be fun, he is absolutely more fun than Kendall and Katie, that is for sure. Kendall was working on his soccer dribble and Katie was...wait for it...reading.
We have a tiny tree, now if we only had a table our size to go with this. Oh well we can sit by it and it is our height.
Well I am super tired. I had a long day today, since no matter what I did, I messed up. I couldn't type a password right on the computer to save my life! I had to reset 3 different passwords!! Ugh I guess I have Christmas brain!
Love <3,

The last few days...
Life in this crazy house is busy busy busy. Thanksgiving was a beautiful warm sunny day. You could not have asked for better weather, and yesterday and today were more of the same, in the mid 60's until the sun starts to go down. Lovely though.
We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner. Poppa cooked, it's his thing. Then he complains about cooking for a week after...again, his thing. Mom would cook but she gets sent out of the kitchen, and it is not that Mom can't cook, he just has to be in control of the cooking. My Poppa watches Food network or the Cooking channel all the time. It is his hobby I guess.
He made the BEST stuffing in the world, Aunt Mary's stuffing. Yummy yummy in my tummy. He made green bean casserole as well so I was in heaven. I also like the cranberry sauce that comes from a can and looks like the can with no lumps in it. I could care less about the meat, lol.
We worked on listing all the jewelry Mom made while we were without internet. That is all listed now. We had nearly 200 items. not all for Dolls like me but more was for a doll than not. She has about 2 things left to make and she will be finished listing before the holidays. We will then restock before Valentines, if enough sells. Mom and I are always trying to think of new styles. I love to help.
Today she started to make the boys (Andy and Kendall, my doll brothers) a set of bunk beds for in the boy's room. After church tomorrow, she will sand and paint the wood parts. It is sooo cool! The 4 corner posts look like giant crayons. (They are crayon banks) One red, one yellow, one blue and one green.
I think mom will write up all of how we did it and send it with photo's to her friend Karen who has this cool blog that I have mentioned Karen Mom of 3 Craft Blog where everything is for a doll. We'll share a linkydooo...
