Rose Is Finally Finished!

Rose Tyler is the first companion of the 10th Doctor and one of my favorites. She's wearing the Union Jack T-shirt that she had on when she first met Captain Jack Harkness, another favorite of mine.

She sat for a long time without legs or eyebrows because I just wasn't happy with her face. I re-did it 3 times and am still not happy but oh do I love her hair! So I finally finished her up since she's only for my personal amusement anyway.

Here she is with my Doctor doll. I modified her pattern so she's sturdier and a bit taller than the original Doctor I made. But she loves him anyway.

Side view. See the 2 shades of yellow for her hair? I thought I was so clever to do that so her hair wouldn't be a flat color.

Back view. Still loving her hair!

Started on a new Doctor doll, this time in the blue suit. Also will be doing another one in the brown suit and Captain Jack Harkness too. I'm working on a surprise project with these dolls but am not going to say anything until I know if it'll work out or not.

Besides Rose I also finished this cupcake softie that has been sitting around for a while. Possible shop item, just don't know yet.

Thanks for reading through my Doctor Who laden post and I hope you enjoyed seeing the Rose Doll even if you don't know who she is.

A Sweet Note Found On A Chilly Morning.

Found this little note written on a scrap piece of paper on my desk when I came in to start up my computer this morning. It's from my 17 year old daughter. She and I have had a rough few years as she has exerted her Independence and turned into a snark monster. The drama, the yelling, the grounding, more yelling, etc. She's started to calm down a bit lately and it was such a joy to find this sweet little note from her.....see she even calls me mommy!

The Queen of Snarkdom herself and the Diva of the house Lita. And yes these 2 fight for my attention and the rule of the house! LOL!

Random photo of Lita laying in my picture taking area in the sun.

Penguins, Penguins Everywhere! A Mermaid and A Treasury

Since I've been under the weather recently and I can't just sit and do nothing, I've been sewing penguins. I now have penguins in many colors and many sizes taking over my cutting table. I have more than is shown in the above photo. Once I got on a roll I just couldn't stop! Not entirely sure what I'll do with them all. I've listed Herman the big guy with the heart in my shop and 2 of the blue and pink small ones in a giveaway I'm doing for One World One Heart, which you can click on the sidebar link to get more info and also check out my previous post.


I'd really like to know what people think of these because I'd like to make more plush/softies based on my stationery designs. I don't want to waste my time if they are ugly or people don't like them, ya know?

Here's a mermaid softie I'm starting. She's based on my mermaid print I have in my etsy shop. She's got a bit of the old nakedness going on right now, but she doesn't have eyes yet so doesn't know. Shhhhhh! Don't tell her!

I was in a great treasury made up of etsy Twitter friends. See my Cupcake Love Print in the middle there? There were so many great items but unfortunately I didn't get this blogged about in time and the treasury has expired! Darn it! Anyway scrapaddict put it together and it was cool.
