Poka dots, Poka dots, Poka dots!

Poka dots seems to be the fashion these days for little girls. Many of my special orders have been for poka dots - browns, pinks and greens! Here are the dolls that are going to two sisters. They wanted the poka dots with pink and brown. One with curly hair and the other with straight hair. When I saw the picture, I noticed that one looks like it can be the older sister, definitely not twins!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. My husband and I went antiquing yesterday at some small towns near by. I was looking and found an old door that I will use as part of my craft display in the fall. I also found an old small suitcase that will work real nice for that display. Antiquing is fun and you never know what treasures one can find! Until next time - happy sewing and creating to all!

Time to show off my winnings!

Here is a picture of what I got in the mail yesterday from Sandy at The Olde Country Cupboard. She had a give away for her homemade tarts and I was one of the lucky winners. In fact, because she had so many who entered, she decided to pick 5 winners instead of the one. How sweet is that! Sandy thank you so much - what a pleasant surprise to get the large assortment of the different scents. And they spell so yummy! I put some out in my kitchen already!

You all need to check out her blog at theoldecountrycupboard.blogspot.com

She has the cutest raggedy dolls, santas, snowmen and much more.

While I was taking pictures of my winnings my eye caught one of my table toppers. This one I used wool and fabric and hand quilted the borders. I made this several years ago that I can't remember what pattern it came from. If you could see my collection of patterns then you'd know why I can't remember! This sits in one of my end tables in the family room. Have I mentioned to you how I love working with wool!

Until next time, have a great day!

A Soon to be an Etsy Doll

Good Friday all! Just finished Molly and soon she'll be in my Etsy store. I haven't had the time to get that started yet, but hopefully soon. Molly is from a Sweet Meadows Farm doll pattern. Maureen has the cutest doll patterns. This is the 12 in from "We R Family." Love that pattern! And with some tips from my friend Jess, Little Dirt Lane, I think she came out cute!

Well, gotta get back to the orders that need finishing. Until then, have a wonderful weekend! And as we would say here in San Antonio TX - Happy Fiesta! (It's Fiesta week here).

Ta Da!

Finally finished dressing up the girls! They have their Sunday best and ready to hit the road! I have to confess to you all that I really fall in love with all my dolls. Sometimes it's hard to let them go. I especially love Ruby - she is soooo cute. The color of hair, eyes, and dresses are all selected by the customer. I had an order of 4 - one each for her granddaughters and the 5th is for the customer's daughter. Hence the names on the apron - all personalized. So much fun to make.

Well, I'm now down to 20 finished dolls and just 5 more to go! Better get ready to start the body parts! Gotta love it! All is bright!
