Our Cottage by the Sea

I don't know what happened!  One minute we were living in NYC, the next minute, here we are in our cottage by the sea!  It all happened so quickly.  Just a rented house, but still a house with 2 floors!  Lots of kitchen cabinets and a huge yard and attic.  We have only been here a few weeks, I want to hold on to the feeling of wow!  But I feel it slipping away.
I am planting lots and lots of flowers to sell, I get to live out all my other dreams now, of gardening and flower farming and baking and teaching dollmaking and making things from herbs and edble flowers and having backyard parties under hanging lights.
Possibly starting an online class teaching how to make a waldorf doll.

Dolly and Me......A new Line of Sewing Tutorials

Sew along with mom!   I started sewing at age 7.  This is the first in a series of Sewing Tutorials geared for girls ages 5 6 7 and 8

Those are a few pages from the EBook.  Mom gets and EBook and a skirt sewing tutorial and your little girl gets a specially written sewing tutorial in her "language" and the same skirt pattern for her doll.

This is my favorite ebook so far!  I have lots of experience working with and around children.  When my dd was in 1st grade, I had the briilliant idea (NOT!) to let every child, 100 of them, design and make their own doll from scratch.  There were 100 completly different dolls.  It was an experience I will never forget and I hope one that proved memorable for the kids.

This tutorial is the EBOOK of the Day, TODAY!
