My little Annie

Oh I had fun making this doll! I haven't made a simple straight-forward doll like this in a long time. I am going to put her on ebay. Do you think she will sell? You just can't tell with ebay these days. If she doesn't sell I will pop her onto Etsy or maybe Glitter and Grunge. I love her! What do you think?

I received an award!!

Wow! I guess you just never know who is reading your blog. Debra has a really interestin blog called Pilgrims and Pioneers. Thank you SO MUCH Debra!!

Fabric inspiration!

I bought some new "Annie" fabric. I got all of this fabric at Joann. I don't make the trek to Joann very often because now that they are all superstores they are too far away. I usually buy my fabric online, but I knew I wanted a lot of polka dots so I thought I would be able to find what I wanted there. As you can see I didn't have any problem!! :)

The best laid plans...

of mice and men, oft' times go awry!!

Julia is being put on hold until the Fall. I have come to the realization that I cannot get a sculpt done while the kids are at home. It is just too hard to concentrate, and I am constantly being interrupted. So.. I am going to concentrate on simple and easy dolls from here on out until my days become my own again.

I found some unfinished doll bodies, and decided to make some Raggedy Annies. I haven't made an Annie in years! They are the dolls I started out making, so it has been fun doing a few again! My 9 year old Isabel loves them!

My son studying marine biology in Hawaii

My oldest son Lucas is on a science trip with a group from his high school, studying marine biology in Hawaii. He left Monday morning on the 7th, and will be back on the 23rd. It is a long time, and I admit I as quite nervous at first, but his awesome teacher has set up a flickr photostream and has posted tons of pictures of everything they are doing. I have put 2 links on my sidebar, an Hawaiian clock and the link to his photostream, so I can keep track of him. His teacher always calls him Luke. So if you check out the pictures, thats him. So exciting!!!
