New Ladies

New ladies just coming out the oven! All kinds of wonderful colors. The ladies even had some Merlot 2007 (a good year lol)! I am going to take pictures of their journey. Someone has a little burn on her hiney but she is dry! I love what I do! Next it will be time to dress them. Later on this morning I am going into Staten Island to go to JoAnnes fabrics to pick up supplies. Have some more wonderful tricks up my sleeve. This is more than a tea dyed button doll LOL!! These are works of Art!!!!!!!!!!

New Prims!!!

I am making dolls. Thanks to a rescue from my friend. Brenda for some polyfil, I am able to complete 2 dolls! Yeah! They are sewn up and ready for the next step. As soon as I put them together then the fun part. Making them look different, old, antiqued, distressed, primmed out yeah! LOL! Should you laugh to keep from crying or should you cry between the tears. Just do both.

New Year's 2011!

Well a New Year is coming!! My only job will be making dolls!  Working on what I love most. Dolls.

Merry Christmas!!!!

This is the best Christmas ever!! My husband cleaned the whole house for me. Luv him. Vended outside December 24, 2010!!! What a wonderful experience. I didn't finish my prims to put out but I still had other dolls to go. And 4 of them left for new homes yeah!!!!! It was cold for sure so my husband and 2 sons came to rescue me with a ride home. Yes the gentlemen packed my stuff, carried it to the car and got me home safely!!!! But Christmas morning all of my children came over for breakfast. Greg made breakfast! (best husband in the world!! Now  this was one of the best Christmas's we have had. Now to brace ourselves for the snow. Let's see. Lot's of food, making dolls, I can't think of a better way to start my vacation!!! Have some new ideas for my dolls, including an add on to my name. But right now just relaxing with my honey.

Well 12/24/10, which is a very Holy day for me, I will present  dozen or so small Prims. I might have to make them little felted sweaters and hats because it's gonna be cold outside lol!!! I am still working!!

Prims!!!

I was talking with Michael DeMeng on facebook. He is interested in my fabric rusting and I am taking one of his classes at Art Is. After reading one of his books and the coaxing of some friends I am going to enhance my dollmaking by going over to the DeMeng side lol!!!!! Prims beware!! Worked on some wonderful recipes. The sky is the limit. I am ready lol!!!!
