Been scouring all your favorite websites for sales? Check out the Sales page for the run down :) Great, now that that's out of the way, here's what *I* look forward to most: Apart from sewing, I also enjoy baking!  This is this year's pie: Apple, Cranberry, & Walnut--and yes, that's a picture of my actual pie before I stuck it in the oven.  Gotta make it look as good as it tastes! Apple pie by itself is OK.  My favorite version adds Cranberries for a little fruity sourness and walnuts for a touch of earthy undertones.  I've made it...

Curious about the new Marvel Rising doll line?  This review breaks them down by sculpt, size, and articulation and compares them to other doll lines.

I've been pretty excited about these!  A new line of articulated Harry Potter dolls with Ron, Harry, Hermione & Ginny with adult McGonagall and Dumbledore (no Snape? Boo!) Anyhoo, they obviously had articulation, but they were kid sizes so did that mean that finally Skipper would have some articulated options?  OMG!  Finally!    So when I saw Hermione in the store (note, these guys seem to be sold in cases by character, so your store may not get all the characters but you also don't have to worry about having 1 Harry in a box of 5 Rons for whatever reason),...
