The Trouble with Red Hair!

We have been keeping busy in the home as the Watts like to do. There have been all sorts of projects going on with school and for fun. This week I pulled out the flannel and sewed some cozy p.j. pants for the boys. The kitchen here in the apartment has a wonderful granite island that is fabulous for sewing. I will certainly miss it when we move.





Anna and I also worked on a new doll this week. A gorgeous red head who we of course had to call Anne.




"You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair," said Anne reproachfully. "People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is."~Anne of Green Gables


Anna could just not wait to play with Anne and decided to take her to bed before her clothes were finished.

Then of course the new Waldorf Dolls had tea!

"There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting."
- Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables




"Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"
- Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables





"Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing."
- Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables



"For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self-denial, anxiety and discouragement."
- Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables



Thanks for visiting with us over here
May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.
~The Watts Family


"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."
Matthew 7:24-25
