Such a spoiled thing!

First Queen Anne for 2011

MARCH already???!!! Where does the time go????!!!
My computer recently decided it does not want to cooperate and I've had to use my husband's! Getting pictures loaded onto this is whole other matter all together! But I did manage to get 1 and wanted to share a peek of her. I hope to be able to get more photos taken and possibly even getting her ready for adoption by Thursday... (fingers crossed)!

Izannah Walker Dolls & A Happy Valentines Day !!!!!!!!!

I've missed it so! Here are a couple of
my latest little ladies donning their
new dresses made using a new pattern I
created and I'm really liking it! Hope
you do as well! Click here to visit them on Ebay

fter visiting Dixie's blog "Maida Today" regarding Maggie Bessie dolls I was inspired to try my hand at the tiny version shown there. If you'd like to learn more about Maggie Bessie dolls and much more, here is the link to her wonderful and oh so informative blog (click here)

My small 10" Maggie Bessie is being held by a special order doll. Does she look familiar? Yep, an almost identical twin to the drawn-face doll I have pictured below. She is waiting patiently to go to her new home, but in the meantime, has asked me nicely if she could play "mamma" to the little miss Maggie,,, awwww.

I just hope she doesn't get too attached because I'm hoping to get Maggie on ebay this Sunday!
UPDATE::: She is now on EBAY (Click here to visit if you'd like!)
Thanks for stopping by!!!!

I'm a Big Girl Now!!!

fter all the tiny dolls I've made lately, I have gone completely in the other direction!
She is a big, hefty gal at 28" tall!!
Her clothing is all antique toddler clothing,,, even her high top button shoes,
which fit her just so!
Her face is needle-sculpted and done in artist's pencils.
If you'd like to see more of her she will be available on Ebay Jan.5 CLICK HERE

An odd pair

ooks pleasant enough right? A nice little moment between Edward Tulane and the Queen???....... but if you look closely you will see that she is actually in the act of pick pocketing poor Ed's watch! I don't believe he minded much as he has become quite smitten with her... Luckily, I was there to put a stop to this crime in progress!

5¼" Queen Anne wooden doll

ould you look at those sweet little slipper/shoes!!!!
No bigger than a flea bite!
Who doesn't love shoes? A lady can never have too many as far as I'm concerned!
I've made her a pair that would have been popular
in the 18th century. Hope she likes them!

Mona Lisa Doll

was inspired by an early image of a young lady from the 1800's ... To me, she resembled "Mona Lisa" or what she may have looked like as a child. Her eyes are haunting and just seem to grab the viewer! How about you? Does she remind you of anyone?

I just love looking through old photos of people and the clothing they wore in much simpler times.
You can visit her here on EBAY

Young Queen Anne Doll

more cherub-like, rounder cheeked Queen Anne.
She is actually a toddler but prefers to be treated
as a baby,,,
so I went with it,, all the way, and even dressed her in bonnet and
simple empire waist gown.
Growing up should never be rushed!! It will happen soon enough! Trust me!

Message in a bottle! Alice's Adventure began without me!

ell we arrived home safe and sound from our amazing trip to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri!
( A big THANKYOU to all who left encouraging messages while away... You just don't know how much they meant to me!!!) I will share more about the trip and ceremony later.... it requires a whole post all to itself. I just want to wait til my soldier boy is not within hugging distance. He is my priority at the moment, and gladly! :-)

While away, we left poor Alice all on her lonesome and on our return, we found her holding a glass bottle with a handwritten note saying "drink me" . Hmmmmm, since it appears to be empty I can assume she did as told and well the rest is history (so to speak).
You can see her on Ebay Sunday Evening!
She'd love you to visit her there! to do so, Click Here

Tsk Tsk, shame shame!

ver a month since my last post!!!??? How did this happen? Just busy with life really. Went to Florida for part of it, which was so lovely and oh so relaxing! Now preparing to leave this Monday for Missouri to pick up my son. He just finished basic training at Fort Leonard Wood and is coming home for a couple of weeks, than off to Fort Hood!!!! I'm so excited to see him and could not be more proud.

(Here's me looking off our balcony - quite the view, yes?)

But I have not neglected my doll-making entirely. I've been wanting to create another "Alice in Wonderland" for some time now.... and with the movie just out (which i still have not seen btw), was the much needed inspiration.

When we get back on the 8th of May I hope to get her finished and listed on Ebay.
Sure hope ya'll are having a beautiful and productive spring!!!!!

Edward Tulane doll just in time for Easter!

ou would think with such a fancy pocket watch that Edward could
be a little more punctual!!! Well I must admit that it is not all
his fault,,, I might have had something to do with.
Anyway he will be on Ebay this Evening for a 5 day auction
so that he can arrive in time for Easter Sunday (if he doesn't
lose his watch in meantime that is)LOL
