As for me, my life is still on hold.

We have given our "way worn out your welcome" people

in our house, an ultimatum, and a deadline for moving out.

I really need my life back.  I don't feel I can do anything outside of my bedroom until they are gone.

I have been knitting, but at night, when I'm too tired to concentrate.

I have been sleeping too much, for all the stress.

It's a wonder no ulcers have shown up, but headaches are bad all by themselves.

We did not want things this way, and our hearts are good, but there is a time when your heart can't take it anymore, and you know for your own health and safety that you must take action.

It has gotten to that point.

11 more days.

Rodeo Rose

 

She features completely removeable clothing: Hat, shirt, bandanna, jodphur style pants, Batwing Chaps, with hand embroidery; she carries a Lariat; she rides her Stick Horse, and she has a "Center Medallion Rose" quilt, that has an embroidered center. The hat also comes with a hatbox, and she has a cloth storage bag. She has re-dressing instructions and a document brochure. Everything is handmade, including the hatbox.

She is weighted for sitting. She looks really cute sitting on the edge of a shelf.

Peony #8 was inspired by all the cowgirls who used to ride the rodeo in the 20's and 30's. See more about them at: http://www.cowgirl.net/, at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, located in Fort Worth, Texas.

She was also inspired by Linda Carter Holman's work. See her work at: http://www.carterholman.com/.

Take Care and Have Fun! Ride-em Cowgirl!!

Where Peony's Sisters Can be Found

Some of my sisters have left the playroom! At first, I thought the dog got hold of 'em, but mom says it was time for them to grow up and leave home. I saw the outfits she was making and was wondering what all the fuss was about! Then I saw her making the trunks and knew something was up, just didn't know what. Granny Lil says not to worry, they'll find good homes. They took pictures of them for our scrapbook. Mom says there'll be more sisters coming, just a matter of time. Hey ma! How 'bout some new clothes for me?!
