The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music

Well I think I've gotten in over my head, but I shall burst out into song anyway. I am attempting to make a quilt. Have I ever made a quilt?....NOPE! Have I been around anyone making a quilt?......NOPE! Do I have a book?....NOPE! Have I ever seen a quilt?....Yes! Ok so I'm qualified to make one right? LOL!

Anyway, part of the material I am using is from some curtains that I got Y E A R S ago. So I feel like Maria in the Sound of Music making something out of curtains. If I have enough left over I will attempt to make another dress for Ashley and one for a doll I will give her for her birthday. The doll was one of mine. Her name is My Friend Mandy. Did any of you have this doll?

So this is shaping out to be a great birthday for her IF I can get everything finished in time.
She still wants a horse that she can sit on. I don't have one of those and I don't intend to go out and buy one.

Now for the boys....hmmmmm....What will I do? I wanted to do up their room too. But I wasn't able to get any twin or bunk beds. Then I would have to get the sheets and stuff...which is getting expensive. I might have to look toward doing that for Christmas. When I had Greg get down all my stuffed animals and dolls, I saw some cute things in there I think the boys would like.

Great! Austin is up here and sees this picture and now HE wants this doll. Ay Caramba!

Ok back to singing... Let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start...When you read you begin with ABC...When you sing you begin with Do Re Mi...
