I just checked out Anniebeez blog and she has some beautiful dolls she has made.

I love looking at other people's creations. I get so inspired.

I have been directing our church's Vacation Bible School all week and every day I come home so tired but wanting to work on a doll myself. I have a few that need to be finished and go to new homes and I don't even have the energy to do that.

I worked all last week on the costume for the Bible School Assembly Program. It is a huge Squid. It turned out almost 7" tall. His name is Ralph and the kids love him. All but one, who is terribly afraid of anything in a costume after having the wits scared out of her last Halloween.

Maybe soon I will be able to post more dolls.

I have been longing to make a new doll. I have so many I want to do but still can't work on any. I have almost finished the helper doll for my doll club to take to UFDC convention for the auction. I love Dolly Dingle and this is my second one from a vintage pattern. I decided to make her like Little Red Riding Hood from a vintage postcard that had Dolly Dingle cutouts with Grandmother and the Wolf. I hate to see her go. But I can't keep them all.

I have been busy. I am also a musician and one of the projects I am working on is a CD for musicians to learn old time tunes. I am having to sell some of my dolls in order to fund the project so if you are interested in any of my dolls email me.

I made my first doll quilts. They were not too difficult and I learned a lot. The next ones will be better. I am posting a picture of one of the quilts hanging on the back of a bench with my little Izzanah Walker style doll.
I am hoping to start a dolls for sale folder at my picturetrail site. Be sure and check it out.

My Challenge doll. She represents the Seasons of Change. She is holding her little dolly and her first pair of high heel shoes. She has lovely painted toenails and fingernails. I had wanted to give her ear rings but forgot. I guess it's too late now as she is off to be a model tomorrow.

Doll Challenge

I got another nice surprise in my email box Friday morning. The prescence of a doll I made for a challenge has been requested by the magazine. I am assuming that means she may be moving up through the ranks. But at least they wanted a closer look. I enjoyed making her and she is a pattern from a nice doll lady who is on at least one of the doll making groups I am a member of.
