Mother and Daughter Memories

Looking through old pics on my computer, I've been finding things I'd completely forgotten about.  While I enjoyed all my crafts, I am constantly changing and going on to something new and different.
I find so much inspiration browsing the 'net and my first thoughts are "I wonder if I can do that," and then it becomes, " I have to try that"!
As I've become older I try to curb myself, because, let's face it, it's expensive to change directions and buy and gather all the different supplies to start in a new craft.
Mostly in the last year or so I'm trying to destash and clear out a lot of things I know I'm not going to do anymore.  I have so many pieces of ceramic greenware to get rid of and boxes and boxes of porcelain doll greenware.  But's it's difficult to give some things up...you think that maybe I'll get to them, but in the back of your mind, you know it ain't so!  So, I've  pretty much resigned myself that it all has to go.
About 20 years ago my youngest daughter and I went to a ceramic doll class and each made a "Sugar Britches".  We had fun and, as my daughter worked and doesn't do a whole lot of sewing, I finished the clothes for them both.  We both still have our dolls and I made a new dress for hers last year.
Good memories of quality time together.
