Annie has sold and Lukie in Hawaii!

Well my little Annie sold while I was still getting the auction up, so she will not be on ebay! Thank you Anna-you made my day! I will have 2 more Annies ready in the next few days.

I have to share some pictures of my son Lucas, who is STILL in Hawaii on his marine biology trip. These pictures are so awesome. I am really missing him, he won't be home until next Wednesday! But he is having the time of his life and whenever I talk to him he sounds so happy and excited!

Buddies;Ian, Chris, Clay and Lucas.
Here is Lucas with the beautiful clear ocean behind him. This day they got to see a volcano actually errupting. This has never happened before in the 10 years his science teacher has been making this trip with students!
Lucas snorkeling! How cool is this picture!!
Brittiany,Lucas, Ian, and Clay. Remember Brittiany? She and Luke went to prom together, I blogged about it here. they are an item now. It is just a coincidence that they were both picked to go on this trip! No monkey business now!! ;)

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!
