Good Little Girls

It is a nice sunny morning.. I won't even need a coat. I'll just stand here for a while and see if this flower will open up.
The sun is getting even brighter. Surely it won't be much longer. I can wait.
Well maybe not. I'll just take a little walk around the house to see what else there is..

*********************

Nothing much. That chicken doesn't even play. But look at this.. is it the flower?
Why yes! It is so pretty. I think I will pick it for Mother.
Oh but wait. Is this the kind I am allowed to pick? Now I can't remember. I better go ask her..

**************

Mean while.. I am in the house packing things up for Hitty club and making cookies. First a layer of tulips.. (wish mine really looked like this!)
Then another layer.. and some umbrellas just in case we need them.
Now I better go find that Betsy.. she is not allowed to pick the crocus. Later on I will plant some pansies here. I remember when I was a little girl my mom always let me pick those, because that encouraged them to grow even more.
The dolls are all ready to go.
Is this not the cutest bag for them to ride in?? I won it from Loft Creations! Last fall on Stephanie's birthday she had a give-away.. and my name was drawn. I was so lucky! It is cleverly crafted from a vintage tablecoth and finished with the cutest little bunny rabbit button. I have been so looking forward to using it this spring. Stephanie makes beautiful bags, quilts, pillowcases and all sorts of amazing things.. and sells them in her Etsy shop.
Hitty club was much fun yesterday! I don't have the pictures out of my camera yet.. so will have to show them tomorrow. Can't wait!

Betsy looks very happy in her new spring dress. The cookies look yummy. Your dolls fit in the bag perfectly. Definitely a Spring bag.

Lucky you to have won one of Stephanie's bags! Your dolls look nice and cozy inside.

On the first picture I didn't realize it was a doll. Your cookies look delicious!

The lovely Stephanie bag looks like it was made exactly for that purpose!

At first I thought the first picture was going to be of you. The perspective looked like a real child! How cute, you did a great job on Betsy's outfit. And your cookies look awesome. Looks like you had fun.

First of all, I can't believe you have crocus coming up already!! Make sure Betsy doesn't pick it, you surely would like that to be around for a while. Although, your tulip cookies sure look springlike, but they will not last I am sure. I love the bag by Stephanie and the dolls look at home.

I agree with Nedra, in the first photo I did not know it was not real, I loved your story and all the girls. Man, would I love one of your cookies, I would even take a broken one!!

I guess I'm not the only one who thought this lovely child being so patient was real! Fooled me until the second picture. The Bag you won was surely made for your babies, the fit perfect.

Bettsy's dress turned out really well Eileen, love the Spring tulip cookies as well as the crocus.

Ulla said...

You used your new cookie cutters! Betsy reminded me of my new light blue shoes one spring day ... I wasn't such a good girl like Betsy. Her dress is lovely and the hat goes so well with it.

So I'm not the only one who thought the first photo was of a real child! Lovely pictures. And your cookies look good enough to eat!

Hi, for a brief moment I paused when I saw Bettsi looking at the flowers, your photo is great, they all are, I thought she was a real child! Love the fabric too!

So much sweetness to look at! The dolls are adorable. And the clothes more so. The cookies look great. I never did get time to make mine. Hmmm I guess that is still on my to do list.

Betsy is sooo pretty! Today she is wearing a very cute dress, blue is just perfect! Your cookies look very good, too, the shapes are great!

Betsy is so cute. Her dress is so pretty and springy and perfect for a walk in the garden.
The dollies look so adorable in Stephanie's beautiful bag. What a fun ride it must've been ;o)

Your cookies are so sweet! Love the tulips and umbrellas.

Your Betsy McCall story is sooo sweet. And her dress... WOW! It's just the cutest ever! Hope she didn't pick your crocus...
