At this moment I am also working on a doll for breast cancer. I have a very special place for this. I am making her out of another Jan Horrox design doll but I have switched a few things between the different dolls she has in her book Introduction to Making Cloth Dolls.  I just got this book a little while ago, which has helped me get back into making dolls again which I so so missed.  I think I sold her without taking any pictures of her, but she was going to someone who is a breast cancer survivor, and I am so happy for that.

 This is my latest fall doll that I have been working on, This is Skull Miranda. She is dressed for Halloween as the Day of the Dead. She has orange tulle, black sparkled tulle, and the top layer is black/orange and white skulls. She has a black bat bod-dis with orange and black poke-a-dot legs.  Her top hat and her waist is accented with a beaded fringe.   I love these patterns by Jan Horrox.   This doll is for sale $30.00

Coming into my own

My life has had some very small ups and downs with my health and that has truly slowed me down as well as being a caregiver to my father.  During this time I have gained a beautiful grand daughter and she is so much a joy in my life. 

It's been some time since I worked on my dolls.  I have truly missed working with them, through my daughters encouragement I am going to make room to make this possible for myself.  There are a few minor things to go around, to make it happen but I plan on cleaning out an area in our basement to set up a couple of tables for my craft room.  

Spring Doll Swap

This doll I made for my swap partner to bring on spring or for getting our gardens to grow.  Here you see here already planted in my swap partners pot and she is very happy with her.  She is made of felting and material flowers all up and down her, all her materials were natural .
