She’s half a doll now!

After a quiet Sunday with lots of time to bead in my favorite chair, this pile of beads is really starting to look like a doll! So far there are 3 pieces, 2 legs and a skirt. All 3 pieces are now connected into one form. I think the skirt wants more fringe, which will probably drop like a petticoat …

She is a magical and delightful lady in every sense of the word…I’m sure she already had a magic wand and just needed an upgrade.

You Can Be a Begrinner

When, in boyhood frustration, he would cry ‘I cannot!’ she would answer: ‘It is a phrase which you must forget; when one wants to, one always can.’
