I can't forget any of you. Thank you all for your faithfulness to me as followers of this blog and as dear friends. I pray this day is filled with much love for each one of you. I am having surgery Monday morning and will be in the hospital part of the week, but will return asap to let you all know how it went. I'm feeling positive and trusting God that all goes well. I've created a new blog as there have been so many changes in my life since I created this one that I just feel I needed to began fresh . When I have it completed I will leave a link to it here on this blog. Many blessings, Shelley ♡<br />

I may be absent from my blog for awhile. My life is sorta tipsy turvy right now. Nothing feels fun or exciting. My family is facing yet another battle. I cannot understand why, but I still must trust in the one who has brought us through every other battle we've faced , and survived. I know in whom I believe, and know he is able. I pray you are all happy and blessed.....Shelley ♡ Until I return!<br />

Look what I have found, its about five feet at the point. A shelf converted dollhouse. I'm going to have some fun with this, and my granddaughters will too. I still had some credit from the antique shop in town so for $25.00 I brought it home. </div>

These are some examples of Izannah Walker dolls. I'm sure some of you are familiar with these wonderful dolls of long ago, but for those that aren't, go visit <a href="http://www.izannahwalkerchronicles.com/p/who-is-izannah-walker.html">here</a> for some history on them. Aren't they just lovely?<br />
Well, you know awhile back I posted about my reborning dolls, well I'm at it again, but this time I'll call what I'm doing as " Doll Altering" Taking dolls rescued from the thrift stores , cleaning them up and altering them into becoming a total new doll!<br />

The doll in this picture below is the one I just started transforming. Basically , all I've done at this point is bathed her , painted hair and eyebrows on her. Do you see where I'm going with her? I hope it's fairly evident that I'm fashioning her into an Izannah Walker look alike, if you will :)<div>

Of course, there is still much work to do on this little one until her makeover is complete, but I just couldn't keep myself from sharing with you. I'll share her again once she is complete. I'll be adding her to my Esty shop and see if someone may be interested in adopting her for a reasonable fee, of course. <br />
I am also going to have a couple of my crocheted lap blankets to offer and a few vintage items as well. I'm trying to keep my hands busy, and make a little extra income too, which is needed. Hope you all have a fun, very blessed weekend ♡ Shelley<br />

Go grab you a cup of tea and lets talk, OK! I'm still reading The Mitford Series by JanKaron. Right now I'm in the third book, These High Green Hills. I've not been reading as much as I once did though. I believe I truly enjoy the Amish stories much more, and after this series I'll probably begin another Amish one.<br />

I'm also thinking I need to start being more creative, to the point of making some things and stocking my etsy shop that has been in limbo for years. Earning a little extra income sure wouldn't hurt either. We are having some very warm weather for January, in the low 80's the last couple of days. January is most often our coldest winter month, but back in October we had some much colder than normal weather so maybe an early spring is in store. On the good side , I'm saving on my propane, which is quite expensive, by not having to burn my heater.<br />
<br />
This picture below is from a friends craft room. If I fix myself such a space,I may really get busy creating ;)<br />

My daughter Regina and I got out and about for a while today. We hit a couple of thrift stores and then had lunch, then to shop for household things. It was a beautiful day, but I was actually sweating, very warm for a winter day indeed. I know some of you are most likely looking out your windows at the snow piles growing larger. I love snow, but we never see enough of it here. I know it can become troublesome at times too, too much of even a good thing is just to much! OK, ladies enough tea talk for this time......I've rattled on enough. Until next time ......be blessed♡<br />

Being a lady that loves to crochet, I thought this would be a great way to corral your yarn ball while you work. I might settle for a more decorative teapot though, other than the plain brown one in the picture. A prettier one would make for more eye candy of sorts. Then again, I think the brown itself is quite charming, in its own, plain way. It's a good natural earthy color. I am busy at crocheting a new granny square blanket . I chose some Amish theme colors for this one, and while I'm crocheting on this project, I'm already thinking of the colors I want to pick for my next project. <br />
I'm always getting ahead of myself ;) Do any of you have that problem?<br />

I keep thinking I'll do something different than the granny square, but I keep going back to it. Just maybe the next will be a ripple. Change can be nice from time to time.<br />
On another note, my parents are down with the flu. Say a prayer for them if you will. They've been to the doctor and are taking meds. I'm praying it will pass quickly and they will be well again very soon. Thank you so much friends. I pray you are all well and that you week will be wonderful. Blessings ♡</div>

Did you know that there was a time when every upper class home had one, a sick room? I would have made great use of one this week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took ill in the early morning hours Tuesday. I've been very sick all week, today is the first time I've been able to come sit on the couch for awhile. I'm still not completely over this bug, but definitely starting to feel a bit better. I wish this upon no one. It's left me feeling like a rung out dish rag. Weak as a kitten. Just horrible, but I'm alive and thankful for it. I hope your weekend is blessed♡</div>

I know Christmas is long gone,but I never shared these pictures from our visit to Becky's home in December. We try and visit each year (my daughter Regina,my friend Betty and I ) I've been going since 2007 and my friend Betty even before then. We love to visit Becky,she is a great friend to us and a collector of so many of the same things we love. Her and her husbands little cottage is wonderful,inside and out. They made a move in the years since I've known them. The house they live in now was once Becky's grandparents home. They remodeled it to better suit their own needs and I think it turned out fabulous. <br />

GRACE, Its my word for 2015. Grace is defined as the free and unmerited favor of God.<br />
It has been said that " The will of God will not take you where the grace of God won't protect you " .<br />
That has been so true for my life thus far, from my childhood to this very day. I'm certain some of you would agree it has been true for your own lives as well. I am facing at least two major surgeries this year , one on the 26th of this month and another more towards the end of 2015.<br />
I am putting my trust in God's grace to carry me through what is ahead in the upcoming days of 2015. I do not know what tomorrow are the next day or the next holds, but I know who knows all my tomorrows and his grace is enough for me.<br />

I think blue is going to be my color this year. I've been seeing it everywhere and it just jumps out at me. I've always like blue anyway. Its soothing to me. I even created a "Simply Blue" board on my pinterest account.<br />
All these images are from that Pinterest board.....<br />

Happy blessed new year to all of you. I am home today, its cold and rainy outside, but inside its comfy and warm. Sometimes life is that way isn't it? Outside, all around things seem dark, cold , lonely...evil lurking all about us , bad things happening day after day, but inside, within myself (home), I am secure, full of hope, love,contentment. Thats what I want for this new year, to keep my eyes, mind and heart focused on the good, the lovely, the just, honest, and pure in this life. I hope to see good first. I hope to learn from bad circumstances that may prove to be obstacles in my path. To be made richer in the things that really matter and to let go, and LET GOD in those situations that I have no power over, and really don't matter anyway! I want to stop creating mountains from Moe hills. To trust God more, that he can and will move any mountains that stand in the way of him fulfilling his will for my life. I want to heal completely from past hurts and finely be strong enough to share openly with others about how I was able to survive those hurts and became a stronger woman because of them. That I was able to endure only through my faith in God and my belief that everything happens for a reason and that God truly is working all things out for my good. I want to overcome depression. I want to feel happy and joyful, fulfilled in whatever life I have left. I want to make a difference in the lives of others. Those you are suffering , those that are walking through valleys that I have already crossed. I want to stand on the other side and cheer them on as they are struggling to get through to the other side of those deep, dark valleys. To let them know its possible, for I am living proof, but only by God's grace! This is what I want for 2015. I may only make a start, but a start is a start and with God's help if not this year, then the next, or the next.....or the next, then ..........I may succeed. And if I succeed then I shall be successful in achieving what I wanted and asked God's help for. May my life glorify him. May others see me, but see Christ in me. May he increase and I decease. May I be more like Christ in 2015.<br />

Diane at <a href="http://lavenderdreamstoo.blogspot.com/">Lavender Dreams</a> has been having Wednesday Wee Ones since she first started her blog years ago. I have been a follower of hers since close to the beginning. She has a whole doll room of wee ones to share and I for one never tire of visiting her babies and other wee ones. If you aren't a fan of baby dolls,she has many other styles of dolls,stuffies, etc. .....you are sure to find something that will capture your heart and tug tight on the strings :)<br />
<br />
So I am joining Diane today for Wednesday Wee Ones and featuring this sweet Lee Middleton baby that is new to my home. I have named her Bonnie,because of her Bonnie blue eyes. I know y'all are probably thinking... I've been weeding my home and have gave up many dolls....so why get another! Well, because I gave up, I can now afford to gain this sweet baby. I haven't made it to that # four decision I made. To keep four and let the rest of my dolls re-home else where,but thats the goal,but still not set in stone....so to speak! :) and in reality ...I'm not far from that number. But I'll discuss that subject in another post. Right now,I'm pretty happy to have this sweetie in my wee nursery. I purchased Bonnie from ebay,at a very low price of $9.99....if you know anything of Lee Middleton dolls....you know what a deal that was. I purchased her cute outfit at the Dollar store. Thank you for visiting today,if you're stopping by from Diane's blog please follow me,because I may just start to have a regular " Wednesday Wee Ones" here at my blog. That is if Diane doesn't mind me linking up....who knows maybe others will follow suit too. Oh,and if I know dear Diane and I think I do....she will agree, the more the merrier :) Blessings friends<br />

Where it may take me, what lies ahead? Questions, I have no answers for, but still......there are thoughts. I'm just pondering on what may be! What my goals should be, if I should even set goals, or just live each day..."one day at a time"! I do know there are going to be changes. I haven't been one to take changes well in the past, but I'm hoping I go with the changes that be ordained of God. God has a plan for my future, this I know. When in my future will his plan unfold for me? That, I dont know. Maybe its already unfolding. I think it has for the last five years now......I'm just not sure where it's taking me, but it will be good. All God does is good. He is working everything out for my good, this I believe and accept as truth. I just have to trust and the best way to do that is one day at a time.<br />

Its hard to realize Christmas has came and gone yet once again , but yes, tis true! Now, to wait just a few days for the new year to roll around, then it'll be 2015. My family had our get together on Christmas eve. My parents came to my son's home where they gathered with all of us for a few hours, but left before dark to go home. The rest of us continued to visit, sing Christmas carols and just enjoy one another's company until about 9:00 pm, then my daughter brought me home. The little grands were excited , ready to put on their new PJ's and get to bed so Christmas morning would hurry up :) We all had a great time just being together. Our menu was "finger foods" . <br />
As for Christmas day I was home, pretty much by myself. I lit candles, listened to Christmas carols, took a long nap......it was a restful, peaceful day. I'm thankful for Christ and all the goodness he brings to our lives. Without him, I'd have no reason for a celebration. I hope your Christmas was wonderful......blessings to you all.<br />

My live tree, cut right from out front of my home. Its just a spindly little cedar, but I love it just the same. I'm in bed today with pain. Praying tomorrow will be better as my children, grandchildren ,my parents and I are gathering at my eldest son's home to celebrate Christmas. May we all celebrate Jesus...... Joy to the world......peace, goodwill to men.<br />

Just a couple more days until Christmas. How are things going at your house? I pray all is merry and bright in your heart and homes. I have had my little three foot reproduction feather tree up since the day after Thanksgiving, but I had in mind to cut a small pine or ceder from my land and bring indoors for weeks now. So, I decided today I am going to do just that, well, I'm going to pick it and my grandson will cut and bring it in for me. I'm already enjoying the smell of a fir tree with a candle burning .....given to me as a gift from my dear friend Betty.<br />
I hope these next few days before Christmas day will be very pleasant and peaceful for you all. Blessings on this most holy week, I love and appreciate you all, Shelley<br />

This is a doll given to me recently by a friend. She is antique with a porcelain head and a wooden jointed body. Shes about 16 inches tall, maybe a little bit more. Her wig was long curls, but I cut it, liking a short bob cut better for her. She has fit in well, with the other dolls and feels right at home.<br />
<br />
I haven't given her a name yet. Any suggestions? <br />

Sunday after church my girls, my friend Betty, and some of the grands went on the Christmas Tour of Homes in our local area. We had a lot of fun, and got inspired by what we saw. One home was like a southern mansion, really beautiful, but to much over the top for this "simple life loving" lady ;)<br />
But it's always fun to see how others live, decorate, etc.<br />

We ended the day by visiting a couple of elders from our church family that are now living in a nursing home. That was a bit bittersweet for me. These ladies have been mentors and a great example to me over the years of what it means to be a true woman of faith. Now, they are so near to their end of the race, but oh, the rewards that await them in heaven.<br />
