Thanks..its called Christmas Cactus and is in one of the 100 Blocks magazines. I have all of them so not sure what edition this one is in.. Out of each 100 blocks in the magazines I probably only make 3-4 but I love looking at all the blocks they have directions for in the magazine...esp the pp ones!

Instead of sewing, I have been involved in the cleanup efforts here in my small town. Sunday night, about a mile from my home, we had storms and devastating flooding. Decimating neighborhoods and many of my friends have lost everything. My home is located at the top of a hill and we just lost some limbs out of our trees. What has surprised me the most is the outpouring of help and support that has come our way. Total strangers have come to help in the cleanup efforts as well as locals getting in and getting there hands dirty to help their neighbors. Please pray for strength for these people, they have a long way to go before things are back to normal.

Lstew, bless you for helping. Glad your house wasn't damaged any more than the tree limbs. It's during times like this that people really come together and re-learn what being neighbors really means. Good can come out of the bad.
We are leaving in the morning for SIL's funeral in south Louisiana. It took several extra prep days as her body was moved from Kentucky to Louisiana. Thank God our sweet neighbor offered to come tend to my dog twice a day so I don't have to take him to a kennel. He would be so afraid and stressed and so would I, thinking about him.
I've been off on a tangent giving a makeover to a doll I found at an estate sale over the weekend. Want to see? She is a Mattel Chatty Cathy from the early 60's, but no longer talks. Most of them don't talk anymore.... She was naked and had ugly matted hair and was dirty, but she cleaned up so well. Her hair still was pretty once it was cleaned and combed out and curled, and she loves her new sailor dress. (Ignore the pink socks-- she will have red shoes eventually.)

I didn't have a Chatty Kathy, but I did briefly have a Nancy Nonsense doll. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...9o2&ajaxhist=0
