Almost done

My extra-curricular activities, things I volunteer for, etc. are starting to wind down, so I hope I can get caught up on my blogging again! Its been crazy!



I am almost done with this little doll made from Susan Fosnot's Mina pattern. All she needs is a bonnet. I am working on a sculpted doll next, and then I will be putting together my Snow Queen pattern for publication.

I couldn't wait...



to post this picture! Doesn't he look handsome!

Happy May!


Here is the link for the new issue of

Glitter and Grunge


Thank you for looking!

May is here, and things always rev up for me this month. Its the last month of school for all of my kids, so we have finals and prom(tonight) and the end of all the school related activities- teacher appreciations, and coach dinners and things of that sort. I have to try to gaurd my work hours or I won't get anything made and that means no $!!

I have joined a new dollmaking group that I wanted to tell you all about. (Michelle are you listening?) Its called Modern Cloth Dollmaking, and they concentrate on patterns from the 70's, 80's and 90's, to today. Although I really am a vintage cloth dollmaker, the reason I joined is because great innovations were being made during this time period in regard to construction. This is when people like Antoinette Cely were teaching draping and other advanced techniques, and there were some great dollmakers doing awesome things with costume as well. These ladies got us to where we are today in many respects. So I thought it would be cool to learn more about them, and try some of their patterns.

My next little baby


She still needs some work, and I have to come up with an outfit too. But I didn't want you all to think I wasn't working around here! LOL! I've also been doing a lot of Stampin'Up activities. Can you believe I am a closet SU demonstrator too! Don't tell anyone!
