HI everyone,
We didn’t get a lot of snow…maybe 2 inches, but the temp is 15 right now with a wind chill that makes it feel like 5 degrees!!!
My hubby was watching to see if the hens wanted to come out of the coop… it was a big fat NO!! He opened their door to see if there were any takers… not a single one!!!
It’s that time of year again when I do a little review of all the dresses I made the previous year. I did it… I beat last year’s total…
(25 dresses)
I made 29 dresses this year… and that wasn’t even ALL I did… I finished painting my kitchen cabinets, got a new roof, painted and put up trim in the bedroom, redid the guest room, painted and put down new flooring in the back of the house, and even found time for our daughter’s wedding! Whew… what a year! :o)
I’ve done it a few different ways in the past, and this year I’m going to show all the dresses I made this year today AND repeat them again tomorrow… so you’ll have the weekend to place your votes. I know not everyone can read my blog each day, so I’d like to give everyone a chance to vote. You can either vote below in the comments or you can send me an email by using the “Contact Me” tab at the of my blog. The end time for voting will be Sunday evening, at 11:00 p.m. (Central time zone)
You can vote for your TOP 3 DRESSES. I’ll keep track of which doll gets the most votes. Then I’ll announce Monday which dolls won the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place spots! :o) If you have any questions, just ask…
Let’s get started!!!
Addy received the first dress of 2021… here she is in “Winter Elegance.”
Bailey was next in “Precious in Pink.”
Sara, my new Ruby Red Fashion Friend, was looking adorable in “Spring Chic!”
Chrissa modeled a Jeans and skirt set I sold off my blog…
Elizabeth looks darling in this blue Regency dress called “Winter’s Dream.”
Rozen, my second Ruby Red Fashion Friend doll, amazed me her in debut dress, “Let it Snow!”
Sara got another turn at modeling in her purple and black corduroy coat set.
Navi looked so cute in “Turtle in my Pocket.”
Emmie, my 13″ Dianna Effner, Little Darling, looked so sweet in “Promise of Blue Skies.”
Felicity wowed us in this faded Mint and coral set called “Colonial Spring.”
Isabelle got her turn modeling “Ready for Spring.”
Julie took us back to the 70’s in this sweet set I called “Summer of Love.”
Kirsten looked ready for Spring in “Swedish Sweetness.”
Stella, another of my Ruby Red Fashion Friends, was a big hit in “Farmer’s Market.”
Samantha looked lovely in her Lavender dress.

Next up was Rozen in “Summertime Sweetness.”
Stella stole the show in “Monkey Business.”
Josefina was never so pretty as she was in this set… “Changes for Josefina.”
Sara won her chance at modeling again and looked beautiful in “Christmas Berries.”
Stella HAD to wear the green dress called “Christmas Gold” and she got the Gold shoes too!
Rozen got her turn again modeling “Christmas Plaid.”
Addy was back again in “Golden Elegance.” She must like the word Elegance, it was used in her first dress of the year. ;o)
Rozen was beautiful in “Victorian Charm.”
Navi looked pretty cute in my tiniest Christmas dress this year… “Happy Holly Days.”
Emmie was a little “blue” in “Christmas Sparkle.”
Stella was back again in “Frosty Fur.”
Stella was back one final time of the year in “Perfectly Pink.”

Here in the Seattle area our snow is all gone, and we are back to endless rain. Up in the mountains, however, there’s been a huge snowfall, and people in Leavenworth are having trouble getting around! Needless to say, stuff isn’t getting into the stores in a timely manner, either, since those big trucks can’t get thru the passes (which are all closed!).
My favorites are:
1-Julie, Summer of Love
2-Elizabeth-Winter’s Dream
3-Rozen-Victorian Charm
Doreen in Arkansas
1. Farmer’s Market-Stella
2. Changes for Josefina
3. Ready for Spring – Isabelle
Addy in Winter Elegance
Stella in Monkey Business
Emmie in Christmas Sparkle
However, when I went to RRFF Images on Google, Rosen in Christmas Plaid really stood out.
Thanks for sharing the snow photo. First thing I thought of upon viewing was, “Are the chickens/birds warm enough?” Guess it was definitely an indoor day for them with not one wanting to venture into the white stuff. 🙂

We haven’t had much snow here yet to speak of… nothing that sticks around, anyway… But we have had temperatures in the teens for the last few days. Hoping it warms up a little and gives us some snow soon! My dog loves to go out and run around in it, and I love watching him. 🙂
