Ta-Dah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ta-DAH!!!! I FINALLY finished a doll! This is for my uncle. It is the Barbara Willis pattern Florabunda, with a hat instead of the flower petals on the pattern. His hat and shoes are made from grey wool and the hat trim is brown boa. I love soft fluffy feathers on dolls, they move with the air in the room. I used a verigated pearl cotton to do some straight sitching on the hat. The 2 buttons on his chest and the one on his hat are from my grandmother's button tin. He will like that. Oh- I just couldn't pass up the Monster High doll - this is Draculaura. Don't you just love her little outfit? The websites and blogs, on the side bar, have been updated with lots of awesome things, so enjoy!

I am still here! I keep changing the blog and think this will be good for a while. Now All I have to do is ACTUALLY post to the blog...... I have been in a funk this year. Nothing bad or wrong really, just really blocked. I have made 1 doll this year - ONE and it is not even done! I have to start the thing over because the nose did not turn out. SO frustrating. I watch you-tube videos all the time - do I go into the art room and do stuff? NO! I don't know what the deal is. I see from all by blog hopping that there are a handful of people i follow who have also been in a funk - so it kind of helps to know that even professional artists go thru this too - for long periods of time, like me. I hope to have items to post this weekend - perhaps an almost finished doll, possibly a blue sky, leaves, geese, something.... I will make a point of it, so you will know I am still here and kickin'!
