Oh Lookie, Another Baby on the Way

What a sweet little face....arms and legs too...of course she is wondering where her body is....be patient little one it's on the way....creation is a process....these babies are all about the size of a newborn baby and are weighted so they feel like a real baby when you cuddle them....and you will cuddle...you just can't help yourself....

Off to finish creating....

I really must get a new camera....these pictures look so grainy...what do you think?....

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend...

Blessings...

A Tisket, A Tasket, A Lot of Easter Baskets

I'm really hooked on making these baskets...they are so easy and super cute....they are perfect for Easter candy and eggs and after you can use them for just about anything...each one really is different because you can mix the fabric strips any way you want....

OOAK EASTER BASKETS from JAN MARIE DOLLS & PRIMS

You make them using strips of fabric and cotton clothesline....I bought a book called It's A Wrap....After I put handles on I will be back with more pics...

Have a great day....Jan

Hippity Hoppity Easter's On It's Way

Sorry for being away for so long...things happen in this game we call life....
so Easter is on it's way already...but I'm back with more primitive folk art dolls...here is a little something I just finished up...I think she came out rather sweetly...this bunny is a cutie with her little skirt and in the running mode...she must be going to pick up Easter eggs....

Her face is handpainted and she is wearing a rusty bell around her neck..she is on a wooden candlestick that has been painted white and distressed...

I have been checking out some interesting blogs lately too and those ladies in Russia and neighboring countries are so talented....I want to start making teddy bears their's are so adorable...

Well gotta go finish some unfinshed projects....be back with more pics...

Winter Doldrums...Ho Hum

I have the worst case of winter doldrums....defined as stagnation, a state of inactivity, dull, gloomy, sluggish, listless...need I go on...How does one break away from this feeling...I am really not a winter girl at all...

I long for warm, sunshiny days...

I am dreaming of all the things I will create...now if I could just get the rest of me to cooperate...



Here is one sweet little baby..this was a custom order for one sweet little girl...I hope she loves her as much as I loved creating her...she is a soft sculpture baby doll with brown eyes...she has a cute little tushie and is needle sculpted all over..she is wearing a cloth diaper made for her and a cute little pink nightgown with matching hat, mittens and socks...

she is a OOAK doll...and wears preemie size baby clothing....

Ok, I will get busy....I will get busy....I will keep telling myself this until I hear that sewing machine hum all day...

Until next time...have a great day...

The Girl Scouts of America

The countdown has begun...cookie sales in southern Nevada will begin in about 11 days where I live...you can visit this site girlscouts.org to find out when the cookies will be available in your area...Girl Scouts is such a valuable organization. It teaches young girls leadership skills. The money that comes directly from your cookie purchases is what keeps the organization going. So, consider it a charitable donation to the success of a new generation of young future female leaders in America. Here is a picture of my all time favorite...

Samoas or Caramel Delights....can't get enough of these babies...I always buy alot of boxes and have to hide them from everyone...

So...what's your favorite?

And don't forget to support a wonderful organization....

Christmas Wishes To All

Snowman and Cardinal

I finished one of the snowmen...This one has his little friend the cardinal resting on his branch arm...this picture really does not do this piece justice...I was a little over zealous in getting this picture...the light is not very good at all...

The face is handpainted and sealed..I added twigs for the arms along with some other greenery and berries...a darling christmas print for the body...trimmed with sherpa, rusty bells, rusty pins and more...this is my own design...

Blessings for now....
