Believe

I saw this wonderful idea from a fellow creator of all things beautiful and I decided to make one to submit to our annual scholarship auction to help send a high school senior to college. It was great fun to make and I think turned out really good. This could make great birthday gifts!

Two New Ideas

Recently I went to a quilt show and to my amazement and others, I didn't buy a thing. WOW! But, I did come home with two new ideas in my head. I made sure that I didn't go to bed that night until I finished them.

The first idea is a pretty friendship ball. It is made of a lovely ice blue damask. It is embellished with a sequin rose and strings of pearls.

The next idea is a doll pin. Her head is a large bead and then her arms and legs are made of various shapes and sizes of beads. Her body is fabric and stuffed lightly with a beaded edge and to finish her off, I attached crazy yarn to her head for hair. She looks like a happy doll.

Really?

I have made a dear friend through our love of dollmaking. I saw her at a local artisan show and the doll you see here "spoke to me." I told Char that I had to have her. Char created a custom outfit for her because of my love of pink and green and "tada." So, we were trying to figure out what to name her...we weren't sure of her name but the look on her face says, "really?" We both smiled at the attitude this new dolly of mine has and Char said that it reminded her of me, and to that I say, "really?"

When you can, please visit Char's place at http://therustyknob.com/

Her work is amazing. My prediction is that she is one of the up and coming PRIM artists. Yes, really! =0)
