New doll

Here she is with just the penciled in face and very light needle sculpting.

New tie-on pillow finish!


I made this little pillow for my girlfriend who just had baby #6! A little boy, and she named him Lucas, which really tickles me as that is my oldest son's name. This is a Lizzie Kate design stitched on 28ct gingham graziano. I just LOVE how it turned out! And once again I used the tie-on pillow directions from the Focus on Finishing blog! Thanks Karen for your wonderful tutorials!

May Baskets Pillow

I finished this pillow using the tutorial at the Focus on Finishing blog found here.
It was very quick and easy to follow. I definitely think I will be making more of these little pillows!

Country Cottage WIP



I also started this one while I was on vacation. I love the colors! It is called A Place We Call Home.

New inspiration and great news!



I just got back from vacation and I am feeling really inspired. I am ready to create again! And as luck would have it, I was contacted by Soft Dolls and Animals magazine, and asked to do a pattern for them. I am going to do a variation of my Snow Queen doll for the December issue! I am very excited about this!!

Here are a few pictures from my vacation. I am always inspired by architecture, I just love it. And Charleston SC is loaded with such beauty!
This last one is from Annapolis,MD. right outside the Naval Academy.
