Well, most of you know I have a visitor ~ The Most Amazing Stella, our Aida Cloth Paper doll of Blogland! She is a hand full as well as a hoot! She's also very helpful and a very loving little gal!
Needless to say, she has been helping me out tremendously in the kitchen. She's very into the Memes and had to DO Foodie Friday for my post!
So this is Stella's Foodie Friday...




Oh, and our Most Marvelous Stella has even dressed for the occasion ~ a lovely pink strapless dress and a hat. Oh, I don't guess anyone told her you're not supposed to wear hats after 4:00 pm. I wonder if our Miss Janice is reading this? She'll give Stella demirits, I just know it! I'll just let it pass since she went to so much trouble to please me! And that silly little Gally! She's put on her little bib so she won't get sauce all over her! That's a little precious fuzzy face! Speaking of fuzzy faces, where's my little Chloe Dawn? She is hiding! Ever since Stella has been here, Chloe Dawn has been so jealous. She won't play with Stella or Gally. My goodness!
Okay, let's see what our Most Wonderful One has prepared for our dinner. I see a nice little pasta salad, grilled eggplant Parmesan and herb crusted tenderloin and chicken with wild rice on the side. Yes, I was correct! We're having Italian food! Yummy! Mr. Precious...dinner is served!

Be sure to come back Monday and I'll share with you where our dear Stella is going next!
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia :) , Stella and Gally
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~

Tell Stella I am her Number 1 fan. This is so adorable! And she even has a sidekick!! LOve it to pieces!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Those posts must take eons to put together. How do you do that?
ReplyDeleteStella just has endless talents! Oh I do hope that she and Galley get your kitchen back in shape!
ReplyDeleteStella has been busy this week! Happy Foodie Friday! Have a great Mother's Day ~ Susan
ReplyDeleteVery creative! Happy Mother's Day to you and your Mother.
ReplyDeleteShelia, you are keeping me in stitches. You are one creative person and just a dear. Stella is so like my grand daughter. I bet she will be ready for bed early tonight this gal is unreal. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, Oh I think that Stella is adorable and I can tell she has been having fun with you, but honey who would have fun with sweet Shelia! Happy Mothers Day, Nancy
ReplyDeleteSheilaness, you just outdid yourself this time. This is so cute. I loved every bit of it...
ReplyDeletehugs, bj
This week with Stella has been so much fun. I loved the beautiful table and her sundress and wow did not know the hat rule...yikes!
ReplyDeleteThe Raggedy Girl
Sheila, what a fun post! Stella did a fantastic job, and I know she couldn't have done it without Gally. Dinner looks marvelous, and how lucky that you don't have to clean up that mess. Kathy
ReplyDeleteAren't you just lucky to have a guest like Stella. She is just the cutest and she does all your tablescaping and cooking....Christine
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! Stella has had a blast with you. What are you adding to her dress?
ReplyDeleteShelia, I can't believe Stella is so great at learning new things! Awesome visitor she is and Gally is quite a hoot!
ReplyDeleteIf my husband sees this food Stella cooked, he'll be trying to kidnap her to bring her to our house, especially since she is such a gorgeous cook. She is such a diva in her strapless dress and hat! And if she'll clean up the kitchen after cooking, I may let him kidnap her! Fun post. laurie
ReplyDeleteAsk Ms Stella if she will give me cooking lessons! LOL
ReplyDeleteTell Stella that I won't worry about her making a mess. She will be in good company with my teen son who got food all over my kitchen when he last cooked! At least she'll do the dishes. My son didn't.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that she has been cooking for you, mess or not!
Kady
Hey, if this cloth doll really cooks, send her to my house dammit! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd you still haven't told me what program you're using to put Stella in pictures!
Justiney :o )
This was priceless! I'm enjoying Stella's visit with you!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!
Hugs~ J
Wow, that Stella is quite the accomplished cook! Fab meal, and she even transformed your YARD into an Italian paradise. Or maybe that was Gally's doing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not too sure I'd ask a dog to help me do dishes. I might not like HOW they chose to clean them!
I'm sure Gally used Joy and a good dishrag. Absolutely.
Shelia -- these Stella adventures are priceless! thanks .. I needed the laugh today!
Cass
WOW everyone is going to want Stella to come visit them after all the help she has given you with your tablescapes and cooking and all! CUTE post!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila
ReplyDeleteI hope Stella and Gally remember how to cook that amazing meal for me when they come back to England!
Great post, we enjoyed it so much.
Have a great weekend.
Lindsay
Soooo cute. Stella and Gally are a HOOT! But...shhhh..don't you miss your privacy? :) Oh..please don't tell her I asked you that...ok? She IS, after all, MOST precous..though a bit of a handful...and you being the Hostess with the mostest, don't mind one bit, I'm sure! Right? :) I really should have never even asked. So...that being said..I'll just toddle along. Give Stella my love..and Gally too.
ReplyDelete~Love and hugs~
Mona
(could..you please add an "i" to precious..? )
ReplyDeleteM.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! And, my Italian husband has been downloading that and similar songs lately! Nice to see the words.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's been a great time with Miss Stella!
ReplyDeleteOh Creative One, you are Stella are having a blast! I sure hope she cleaned up well!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Mother's Day
You will need a rest after Miss Stella leaves. Hopefully a weekend of peace and quiet is planned. Sally
ReplyDeleteI love the song! I am going to Miss Stella when she leaves your home. I had a fun week with her. Her strapless pink dress is the "Cats Meow". Happy Mother's day to you and your MIL.
ReplyDeleteJoyce
What creativity! Better than cooking :) Stella is a diva!
ReplyDeleteThat little Stella can sure cook up a storm. Everything looks wonderful. It's been so much fun reading about her this week. I hope you have a lovely weekend ♥
ReplyDeleteAND she cooks and cleans up! I think I could forgive her earlier infractions.
ReplyDeleteCute as can be, Shelia! Loved this SO much!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Stella is having way too much fun. That was very clever how you did that!!! Doesn't surprise me mind you! have a good Sunday and I hope Stella lets you lie in a little bit. Or better still now she knows her way around the kitchen she makes you breakfast in bed for Mothers Day. Happy Mothers Day!
ReplyDeleteHa! You are so funny and creative. Love it! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, Looks like you and Stella have had a wonderful visit! Your posts are super cute! How did you do all those pictures? I'm impressed! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful Mother's Day! ~hugs, Rhonda :)
Hi Sally

I hope she got everything cleaned up and you had a relaxing evening together. It looks like a lot of fun.

Lordy, Lordy Woman! Is there no end to your talents?
ReplyDeleteThat Stella can certainly create pretty tablescapes! And she's a snazzy dresser, too! :-) I liked her little furry friend...can't wait to see what her next adventure in your home will be! :-)
ReplyDeleteSTELLA! I can still hear what's his face yelling that in that movie..
ReplyDeleteQuite a gal..many talents! Can you put her in an envelope like Flat Stanley and send her around?
Happy Mother's Day!
