Three has been the most. I gave the dolls all names today - first and last names. That was fun. So far, Jillie Cooper is the cutest doll! :~) They all are standing in their large empty pear cans tonight, each with her name written on her can. But, I had to first protect (with that new clingy plastic wrap and masking tape) the parts that won't have clay. I am still not giving up on getting a pretty little snow before winter is over!

You have so much talent to design and create these dolls. I love seeing them in the different stages. Happy you are sharing your outside world with us too. Such nice scenery. Love seeing the red. The Wind in the Willows was a story I remember when my boys were young. You have a perfect place to sit and read and stay warm by the fire. We have had -40 wind chills to 40 degree temperatures. It's a rollercoaster ride. So far our snow has come in small increments. Never completely goes away...but isn't feet deep either. I won't start dreaming of Spring Days just yet. We can get our big snow late into the Spring. So for now it's indoors for me.The Tea Lady's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813637655711555894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109023370142547502.post-48499724702186675952020-01-28T11:59:38.815-06:002020-01-28T11:59:38.815-06:00I've never read Wind in the Willows!

Here in the south, most of us enjoy the winter because it's almost the only break we get from the scorching heat and high humidity. I love the cold, but my body has started protesting against it. I guess I have reached that age. Love your dolls and look forward to seeing their new faces and heads. Also enjoyed your other photos and the poems you shared.
