She is finis!


And Wow! Did I work hard to finish her in time for the July 1 release of Simply Primitives. She turned out SO great, if I do say so myself!
The funniest thing happened! I was working on her hat this morning, searching out the perfect ribbon to trim the edge with. I needed a red color, but nothing was just right. Then my order from Gail Wilson came, and the fabric I ordered was packaged in a plastic bag, and tied with the PERFECT Ribbon! Actually it looked more like the vintage seam binding I have(only new). But the color and width were just right and there was just enough to go around the hat brim. Talk about serendipity!!

Lookie what I'm workin on!



Wow! Its so great to be working on dolls again! I am all inspired and I hope it stays this time! I vow I will not get caught up in the ebay thing again, and I will only make my dolls with the purest of intentions.
So here is my latest work in progress. The head I made some time ago, but I have been able to use it as a springboard to get myself going again. I have just completed drafting the patterns for her clothes today, so my next pic will be of her in her costume.
