I’m proud to say that my oldest daughter, who goes by the Internet name of Emily Teapot, has caught the sewing bug! YAY! (I’m so proud of her!) She made the beautiful blanket you see here, which I purchased and will be giving away at the end of the month. Scroll down to see the contest rules please.

I’m going to be offline for a while because I’m a teacher and it’s time for back-to-school again. So to keep my regular visitors from missing me too much, I’m giving away the model horse blanket pictured above. (Does not include horse, doll, or doll’s clothing). This horse blanket is designed to fit Breyer Traditional model horses, like Topsails Rien Maker. To win the horse blanket modeled by our Topsails Rien Maker Breyer Horse, please do one or more of the following:
