Lorri CarneyLeave a comment

Crib Sometime ago I found a darling doll crib on Craigslist. It was within my price range so it came home to live at my house.

Dolly Dearest 9 inches I really don't have large blocks of time that I can devote to working on this project. That shows in the length of time that it has taken to make the progress that I have since starting this project.

Doesn't look like much on the surface, but there is still lots going on out-of-sight. That has been me the last couple of months (OK, not so much when it comes to running.
