Clear As Glass

Last weekend my hubby and I went with some family and friends to Spring Creek Retreat. It was so relaxing that none of us wanted to leave. On Saturday I was looking down into the creek water, mesmerized, and this picture is what I saw. The creek was as clear as glass and you could see a reflection in the water of the trees and sky. I aimed by camera straight at the water and this is what I saw. It's just an awesome sight. It looks like I turned my camera upside down and took the picture or like I was lying on my back on the ground while taking the picture. That's the reflection of the moon from the sky above. I tried to get another picture of it, but I couldn't quite get the camera angle right when I tried to take it a second time. I took several more pictures of the trees reflected in the water, but this was, by far, the best one.

I haven't been doing very much lately, craftwise. I have sporadically been knitting and alternating with sewing. I'm working on a quilt top that is in a bow tie pattern. A friend of mine and I are going to set up a craft booth in December at the Festival on the River in Demopolis, AL. I'm going to make a few shawlettes and she is going make and sell some cloth dolls that she has made. I have one at home that she made for me, along with a really pretty outfit. I have played around with making doll clothes before, but she has gotten me in the mood for doing it again. This doll's name is Trilby Wragge, and she is a unique doll. Back in the 1800's, Trilby was a doll that used to visit all the sick little girls in Demopolis. She would go and stay for a week, and before she came home, the little girl made her a new outfit to send back home with her. It's a great story, and my friend has written a children's book, but she hasn't published it yet. I told her if her book were published, it would be neat to have some copies of the book there with the dolls, along with some history of how the doll came to be.
