Photo Play

Just a little fun playing around with Photoshop and and some pics I took last summer.

Happy 1st day of Spring

Pictures from the past

Here are some pictures of dolls I have made over the years.

I love Rodeo Cowboys

Every year there is a benefit to make money for the rodeo. It is called Crabfest (all you can eat crabs and a silent auction). Usually my husband and I donate items related to our business for the silent auction but this year I decided to donate an original doll to be auctioned off. I named her "I love Rodeo Cowboys". Her skirt is of a rodeo design and she wears cowboy boots. Other then the fact that her nose is too short I think she turned out ok. Crabfest is February 18th. I will put in a PS to report what she was sold for.

PS (dated 2/18/09) It was a bit of a disapointment that she only sold for $25. But I met the lady who bought her and she seemed very nice and happy to have her.

A baby's Doll

A few months ago a friend asked me to make a doll for his new great granddaughter. Because she was a baby I couldn't use paint and buttons or anything harmful to a baby. You would think that would be easy but for me it wasn't. However, I finally made her face and hands from soft flannel, her clothes were held on by hook and loop. Her face was appliqued felt. After she was finished I gave her to my friend and the next time I saw him he happily reported that his great granddaughter is never without her handmade one of a kind Dollie. A happy ending!

White Christmas

This is the first time in the 8 years that I have lived here that we finaly got a White Christmas. At 4am there was no snow...all the snow from the previous storm having melted away....by 8am there was about a foot of snow on the ground and it was still snowing. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Fun in the December Winter Snow

Jackson and Andi love to go to the dog park and play in the snow. Jackson just finished making a doggie angel in the snow.
