A Little Bird for Spring

Not sure if this will fly...(pardon the pun :) but here's a little project I began yesterday. I didn't really have a plan, but I have this great old doily that's pretty stained. No matter what I try, I can't budge any of the stains. It has 6 hand embroidered tulips on it and I can't bear to let it go to waste. So I cut out the tulips and figured I'd come up with some creative way to use them. here's one of my ideas ... a little spring bird. She isn't finished and I cant decide what to do for her legs, so I'll set her aside for a while until I come up with something. I think she's kinda neat and a little different. If she turns out well, then I just may use the rest of the tulips to create an entire family for her... we'll see...

Check Him Out....

Isn't he the cutest? He's one of those vintage Christmas ornaments made in Japan. Picked him up at a flea market for a quarter! My kids just think he's creepy (keep in mind these are adult & near adult children). I just think he's adorable. He doesn't look like Christmas, so I think I'll have him hanging out year round in my studio to keep me company :)

Latest Project

Here's my latest creation- almost finished, just have to add some arms. I'm hoping to finish her up this morning and get some pictures after I have some daylight. If all goes as planned she should be hitting my etsy shop by tonight....

My previous doll was Leonard the Kindly Lion (you can see him in my etsy shop). I think I've got a theme going here, I'm considering a "jungle buddies" series....

....and more snow

Try, Try, Again...

Well, it seems I dropped the ball on this blogging thing- again. Social networking is a little tough for me to get used to. HOWEVER, I'm gonna give it another shot. Been working hard on my wee~mee dollies over the past few weeks, in between shoveling snow. Lots and lots of snow....
