Take time for yourself!

One of my other loves is painting and cartooning, but there is never any time, so I decided to take some time and make a little oil painting. It is a 10x10" canvas. I really enjoyed myself. Okay that felt good, I am definately going to take some time just for me every week!
We should probably all make a little extra time for us... even if we have to fit it into a tight schedule. Don't you agree!
"Unwrap each day as if it were a special gift", because it is!

Have a great day and take some time for yourself!

Crystal, Mermaid Of The Lake Doll Pattern Now Available!

Crystal, Mermaid Of The Lake Doll Pattern now available!

I finally finished her!

She is a 21" all cloth doll pattern. It is such a large pattern I had to put it on a CD, however I also include a printed supply list, 7 pages of pattern pieces and the cover in a ziplock bag.

Her face has a lot of sculpting and detail with coloring. I have included 30 pages of easy to follow Step-by-Step directions with 76 color photos! Wow... it was very time consuming (not to mention fun).... this is the way I would like to recieve a new pattern.

She is available for sale... in my ebay store @ stores.ebay.com/carolines-handmades also in my ETSY store @ candy4me.etsy.com and will soon be available @ dollmakersjourney.com

I hope you like her!
