A Doll House for an Old-Fashioned Girl

Although "girl" is certainly stretching the truth!
This is my first real doll house, having constructed cardboard and shoe box dollhouses in my youth.  I bought it today at Chapters, 50 pc off the regular price of $149.  I'm going to look around in second hand stores for suitable furniture.  I plan to take the DH to my class.  I have a lot of Lego and other building toys which the boys like, but not many girls use.  So I thought of a dollhouse.  I also bought three little dolls, which coincidently, have the same names as 3 of my girls.  I know they'll get a kick of this tomorrow when I bring it in.

Last day of Winter Break

Back to work tomorrow, with the prospect of snow, which is always fun for the kids.  Still have to get new tires.  Christmas is all packed up, winter dishes are in the buffet and tomorrow's lunch is in the fridge.

Projects on the go:  lion scarf, chevron cowl, prayer shawl, wristwarmers.
Projects pending:  scarf, slippers, dog sweaters (4), shrug and a new Sock Monkey for school.
