Been a Busy Week

Well it sure has been a busy week at my house. We started the week with Kassy's 18th Birthday, Tuesday was a Historical day in America and I stayed glued to the tv all day watching the events. Of course I was sewing while watching. Friday I spent the afternoon in the hospital having all kinds of "fun" tests run. Got some good news and some not so good news. No signs of cancer but I do have an ulcer. Hope to get more news in 2 weeks when the biposy results come in. This week I get to visit a new Neuro doctor so Think about me on Tuesday.

While I have been sitting here in the apartment I had fun making up some new dolls. One of the dolls is made from a pattern by Patti's Ratties, The little Irish Monkey turned out cute.
Then i decided to make up some of my own so I made a cute little kitty and couple Cupids for Valentine's Day. Last I decided to make a Spring Bunny. You can check them out below...I have not decided where to list them yet...ebay...etsy... Country Fried Primitives...BUT REMEMBER they are for ages 13 and OVER.


I really like Melly and Me patterns so much I ordered 3 more for myself. I made up another of the big 23" monkey. This one is an Irish Monkey but i think he needs a hat... What do you think?


This week I need to work on my FOCD Penny Challenge Doll. This is the first time I have made a doll of this type and I have to do a whole lot of reading before I start on her. MAN she has a whole lot of parts!

Well time for me to go and rest so I better head off to the recliner now. Good thing my wonderful hubby set up my sewing machine close to my recliner. I can relax and sew to my hearts content!

Til tomorrow....
Lots of hugs

Relaxing and Creating

WOW the whole month of Jan I am offically off. IT is odd to say the least. I am planning to work on changing out my websites and playing around with Just Doodlin Around once Kassy heads back to school on Tuesday and Marty is at work. I need to make a couple doctor appts to find out why I can't seem to eat anymore but other than that I have been playing around with fun patterns and even working on a few of my own.

Check out this cute Monkey created for the teenager in your life or maybe someone who collects Monkeys or loves cupcakes!
He is nice size too 23" and just the cutest thing


With Valentine's right around the corner I created this Hearts a Fire Monkey geared to the Man in your life. Not of foo foo so I think it would be perfect for the man caves out there. Add a 6 pack of his favorite beer and the perfect Valentine's Gift. My man gave it the Man Stamp of approval.


These monkey's were created by using a pattern by Melly and Me! You can find their blog on my blog roll to the left.

My neice was over the other day and she wanted to create a doll or two so we made up a bear. When she left I made up a couple of bears. These would be awesome for teenagers or bear collectors. Going to make up scented pillows to go with the bears. Olivia created and designed her very own doll SOOOO Aunt Sandi is going to be making the Olivia baby into a pattern so you can make one with your own little one too.


With the coming of CPSIA as the way it stands now I just have to remember to let everyone know that NONE Of my dolls are made for folks under the age of 13.

I just joined a Doll Group and am looking forward to learning more about doll making and how to create art dolls too.
So off I go to finish my newest ANGEL and I have a trio of dolls in my head for Sisters. It really wants to come out and onto paper soon so I better head off to my table to draw.

Happy Jan everyone and stay warm and safe! AND of course Keep Crafting!
