Cinderella Pattern update

I am excited to say that the First 20 pages of my Cinderella Pattern is completed, but that is just the face sculpting and coloring! I like to add lots of pictures and easy to follow directions. That was the hard part. I am now working on the body... woohoo! My Cinderella doesn't have glass slippers, she wears real swarovski crystals.

Oh, I have to mentions that I am also working on a Santa Doll and Pin, (two sizes). I don't usually work on two at a time, but that cute little Santa wouldn't get out of my head until I started on him. So, I already made the pattern and painted the face, now I am testing the pattern. This pattern will be Very Easy, with a flat face, cartoon/cutsy look, no sculpting, so it will take a lot less time to create. I want it to remind you of a Vintage Look/Style? You will see what I mean. Sorry I am keeping him a suprise until he is finished, then I will post him.

I am also working on a Gypsy Doll for The Gypsy Challenge in Texas in October. I purchased a couple of things and I am going to see if I can make a tambourine. Wish me luck!

Gotta get back to work!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cinderella Pattern update

I am almost finished with drafting Cinderellas face for the pattern. There are lots of pictures with easy step by step directions. The face takes the most time to do, then it shouldn't be too long before the pattern is completed! WOOHOO:)I have a couple ideas of how to make a Tambourine for my new Doll. If it comes out nice I will put directions on my Blog for you.
I have been designing and creating my One Of A Kind, Victorian inspired Jewelry pieces. I will be posting some of those for you shortly.

Thank you for visiting!

I'm Back!


Hi Everyone,

Oh my goodness, I can't believe how long its been since I last posted anything... I a soo sorry!
My husband had surgery and I had to take care of him. I had no idea it was going to take up so much of my time. Then I got sick, the sickest I think I have ever been in my life, for about 5 weeks. Feeling much better now:)
I just wanted to share with you a couple of my Dollie Pins. They are so much fun to make.
For those of you who are waiting for my newest Cloth Doll Pattern "Cinderella", to be completed, all I can say is that I have started, but due to the medical issues over the last couple of months is what is holding things up. I am trying to get caught up with my work and special orders so I can devote my time to finishing the pattern. I will keep you posted.
I also plan on entering "The Magical Gypsy Carnival", 2010 Treasure Of The Gypsy Challenge. I am working on a one of a kind doll and ofcourse she will be a Gypsy. Due to the gorgeous colors of fabric I received for this Challenge I decided to call her Gypsy Jewel. I plan on posing her in a dance postition. My biggest challenge right now is figuring a way to make a Tambourine (doll size). This doll should be approximately 20" tall. When and if I can figure a way to make the Tambourine I will share it with you, here on my blog. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
