Wednesday Worktable

Wednesday has rolled around again and I am working on some things.

Painting paper clay bodies.

Started a skellie doll. So many bones, so much 

sewing! This will be a long project.

Another witch WIP. Showing her in a naked

state so you can see how my dolls stand

on their own without a stand.

 I received this blog award from June of I Sew Cute and haven't had a chance to acknowledge it yet. I'm pleased as punch that people enjoy my ramblings and creations. Thanks so much June!

Update on my stepdad. He's doing a little better. He's still on the respirator and still tied down cause he keeps trying to get out of bed. He's confused about where he is and what's happening. I feel more hopeful about his situation so am less stressed and am able to work again.

Today is my Mom's Birthday

So I decided to take a step back from the doll project and show you all what I made last night for my mom. Today is my mom's 70th birthday. She doesn't look 70 really so high hopes for me keeping my youthful appearance! Anyway I made her a sweet little plush cake holding a banner in her favorite colors.

 My silly cake

 I wish I could take credit for the design but I can't, it belongs to the wonderful Elizabeth of Bluebird Papercrafts, formerly Creative Breathing. I did this cake in my personal style. Elizabeth is one of the most creative people I know and she doesn't sell any of her work. Get this, she freely gives you her patterns! Amazing right?! Besides sweet plush she is an amazing paper crafter, please go check out her blog if you never been there before. I know you'll spend hours reading thru her stories and looking at her marvelous creations. http://creativebreathing.blogspot.com

 Isn't Elizabeth's version sweet?

I couldn't find a link to this on her blog. I know it's there somewhere cause I've had it saved on my computer for a long time. Her roses are outstanding and mine not so great but mom will love it anyway. Happy Birthday Mom!
