HERE IT IS, THE DAY YOU MAY SAY TO YOURSELF, I'LL BE READY THIS YEAR!

It's the last day of September, the second day off for me this week.  It's push and pull, tug and shove, get ready time. I don't need to list all the activities the next 3 months bring. Everyone has a favorite special event to prepare for by the end of the year, I'm sure.

Too bad I need to work the next 5 days in a row because I'm ready to finish a few dolls, get my artwork lined up for mats, meet with the art show committee to be approved for a booth and make a few bird nests in a bowl.

That's the calm before the storm because there are family birthdays, Halloween, and my special White Elephant Gift Exchange project for December.

I made a doll for myself and I'm trying to decide if she should be on a pedestal or not.  I can easily see that she would hold more jewelry on a stand. The question is sturdiness.

She's my harlequin doll, ALL GROWN UP, and holding my jewels!
