Prayers go out to my good friend Sallianne, Max, Rose and especially Neil! No words can express my sympathy in the loss of his father today! Stay prayerful and hold on to what memories you have of the times you spent with your dad Neil. It's worth it!

Snow!

Well unless you are playing in the snow.....you could be in the house creating! That's what I'm doing. I can't wait to see what the weekend ends with. Will my "Witch" be completed! Will the little "Winged Monkey" be complete?! So much to do. Mixing colors and fabrics. Wow if this is what stuck in the house entails then I want to be stuck!

Creating!

Well this weekend I didn't get all that I wanted done! Injured my back. But I managed to get doll sewn up, stuffed and with mask baked and ready to be painted. Oh my back has spasms. Lot's of medicine until my grandsons father gave me an exercise. He is an ex football player LOL! So I used his advice. It helped a lot. But as soon as I lift something it comes back. Solution: don't lift unnecessarily. Thank God for the dishwasher. I still cooked dinner though LOL! But back to creating. I have too projects for you. One the surprise and the other one is the winged and flying monkey. I try to work on something everyday. I have a lot of days until my "Art Is" class. But I am preparing everyday. This is not just going to be a class but an extravaganza!! I'm telling you no one can do it like me! LOL! I want to form a doll club after this class so that we can meet regularly. LOL! So much stuff. So many give give aways, raffles, and student prizes. Get so excited when I think about this class and this doll. I have 4 divas on the butchers block for completion. I am determined.I am trying her so many different ways for all questions. Oh well we will see.

Witches!

Sometimes people can almost make you lose your creative spirit! Whew! I may get knocked to my knees, but I will never be knocked out! Like the little engine that could I will keep creating, keep creating, keep creating......

Wicked Diva's

Well! I am going to do it. First my husband suggested it and I said no. I am not going to do it. But then as a tribute to one of my favorite fashion designers Alexander McQueen I have consented. So it's going to be a surprise. I owe the idea to my husband and the house of McQueen! Coming soon. I am working on it this weekend. Stay tuned!!

Dolls and Snow!

Well clinic was cancelled. So what to do. Stay home and make dolls of course! Lifting up all the shades to the windows and working on my dolls at the kitchen table. What a peaceful joy! I am currently working on more wicked (and good) divas for Art Is! Looking forward to taking my friend Ellen's goddess class in March. Art-Is-You is  the place to be. This is the big project for me this year. Entering the fashion world with this wicked witch!!! More pictures to come. The theme is "The Wizard of Oz"! Being wicked is my thing. I will be in my element. LOL!

Haute Couture

Imagine dolls in haute couture. Well there is a doll magazine that says just that. And thats where you will find some of the latest fashion. Wait until my next lady doll! Pink is not always fluffy and cute. Wait until you see this next pretty in pink lol! The doll designs for this doll will take you to unlimited possibilities. I cant wait for my students to decide how they will proceed with their doll. The hair is sooo much fun to do. I am on the look out for wig pieces everywhere. I can't wait to see the look on students faces when they enter my world.

Doll Projects!

A lot going on this month. I am working on my second Art Is doll and the Flying Diva Monkey! What fun creating this new doll. I have so much fun looking for things to embellish her with. And the costuming for the second doll is going to be fierce as well. I want this to be a very successful class! All of my spiritual creative energy is focused there right now. I enjoy people having fun!! I can't wait to sign up for workshops. If you people miss Art Is this year. Well you will have to wait until 2011~! That's a long wait. I can hardly wait for 2010. To see all my friends again. It's like going back to school for 6 brief days. Wow 6 days. Soon it will be 7 days, then 30, 40, 50. Let's see a whole sememster of days. We will never go home hooray!!!!!

Wicked!!!!

We all have a little bit of wickedness in our person. I can't wait to get to my computer to post this doll! I hope you enjoy her. But wait her wardrobe!!! I have sooo many surprises. There is one thing I like is doll get together's. And this will be a spectacular doll get together. Complete with runway music LOL!!! So much to do toooo much time to prepare. My whole year is promoting my new lady!!!

Art Is... of course!!!

Well I completed my lady witch for the Art Is You conference. As soon as I can I will post the picture to the blog!!

Creating

Well I have created a new pattern to teach at Art Is!! The title of my class is Which Witch areYou? Oh as soon as she is completed and sent to the Art Is team of Sallianne and Ellen, she will be my world tour promotion. First of all if you follow my blog get your payment plan ready because you will want to go to Art Is. If you have any artistic inclination or drive this is the place to be. You will go into "Art Is" overload. I can bet a stake in that claim.

Anyhow, my Witch class is right up my artistic alley. When I get finish teaching you this doll, you will think that the doll world revolves around the witch divas that we can so become. I will invite students to journey with me in creating their innermost "witch moment." It's going to be fun. In 6 hours what we can create! This is a class project created exclusively for Art Is. Take my class you won't regret it. LOL!! From 1 witch bitch to another!!

Happy New Year 2010 is here!!!!

You know I don't make New Year resolutions because I live each day to do better than the day before. But something about the New Year that just challenges you. Think about how a stubborn person never wants to change. Do they really not want to change or too stubborn to change. Who is more miserable when it comes to people like that...we the changers I suppose. My father always taught us no matter what try to learn something it keeps your mind strong. So happy New Year to the movers and shakers LOL! To the stubborn and unchanging well I guess you are happy too!

Things

Well we finally moved onto a nice peaceful block. Apt is smaller than the last one but we have peace of mind. No craft room to make dolls. What does that mean? It means I will take over the kitchen LOL! I am always making dinner so I might as well create while I cook. You can't have everything!

Art Is!

Art Is! Art Is! Art Is!
