My Summer Patio!
I am enjoying planting many flowers on my patio. I have not been able to plant much in the past few years, or decorate it, due to my illness. I am so happy I feel so good, and can garden again.

I have been working on little gingerbread men made from coffee-stained muslin today. The pattern is in a great Christmas pattern book by Tone Finnauger. She lives in Norway..and has four delightful craft books out. My family and I lived in Oslo, Norway for five and a half years, when my children were very young. So her crafts are typical Norwegian crafts that I loved during the years Norway was my home. The crafts are quite easy and quick to make also. As soon as I figure out how to put images on this blog, I will show you some of the crafts I have made using her books. I have also been making a rather large African-American lady. I am just learning how to paint the faces and soft sculpt them also. She is one who has a painted face..it has taken me days to get it as good as I could, and I hopefully will get it up for sell on my website tomorrow sometime.
It has been a lovely, and relaxing day today. I wish every reader a blessed and peaceful evening. Thanks for reading my blog, and I hope you will post. I will be posting pictures of my family soon.
