Zendoodles

I was really not feeling well over the weekend, some sort of bug I think. I just didn't feel well enough to accomplish anything.

So I wrapped myself up in a blankie and just did some doodling in my sketchbook.

These are called "zendoodles" in today's art world. But back in the day they were just doodles that covered every notebook and folder I owned in highschool! 

LOL!

PDF Patterns in my Etsy Shoppe

I spent a good deal of time the last few days converting most of my doll patterns to a PDF format. 

They are now available in my Etsy Shoppe as E-patterns. 

This is such a quick and convenient way to buy new doll patterns. 

The pattern prices are a little lower, and there is NO shipping fee!

I have it set up so that as soon as I receive payment I will send the pattern file to you. 

You will never have to wait more than 24 hours, and in most cases it will be sooner than that. 

I am in the habit of checking my mail several times a day.

So grab a cup of your favorite beverage and have a look at my 

Etsy Shoppe!

I know it seems every one is making this type of doll, but I couldn't resist trying my hand at it! This is actually a mold for an Alabama Baby doll by Deanna Hogan. I just decided to turn her into an Izzy instead. I got some fabric yesterday for her dress, which HAS to be red! I will be working on dress and unders today.

These pictures are before her head and shoulderplate have had a crackle applied.

A new Angel for a new year!

Her name is Elisha-don't you just LOVE her!

Available on TDIPT this month!

Merry Christmas Season!

 

 The big day has come and gone, but for us the Christmas Season 

lasts until Jan.6, the feast of the Epiphany.

So I am wishing you all a very blessed Christmas season!

Prepare the stable of your heart for Christmas

Yesterday my daughters and husband and I went 

into Chicago with the youth group from our parish 

to work in the soup kitchen of the 

Sisters of Charity.

These are Mother Teresa's nuns, 

and the kitchen was opened

by Mother Teresa herself.

(That's my hubby up there on the right.)

I can't tell you what this experience has done for me, 

to take me away from the cares and silly concerns of my everyday life,

and help those who are truly in need.

(Thats one of my daughters cheesing on the left.)

It really put things into perspective and I had the anticipation

of the coming of my Lord Jesus on my mind all day.

I felt so close to Him while I was there, 

and so thankful for everything He has done in my life 

and the wonderful people He has given me to love!

I hope you all have a blessed Christmas! 

I hope you feel the joy of Him in your heart always!

God Bless You

and 

Merry Christmas!
