Building Snow Ladies

I finished this little Snow Lady pin today. She is about 4" tall and is covered in lace and beads. I had some vintage rhinestones that I added to her hat along with a little jingle bell. She is holding a baby snow boy!
I have two more cut and ready to sew tonight!!

Santa's Workshop right here at Home!!

I am starting feel like I am Santa working away late into the night to get my dolls done. I just wish I had his little elves to help out, don't you?...I have so many jobs that they could do!

I have been trying to come up with new dolls for each season. I am designing Valentines and Spring right now...but I have been still adding some Christmas items to my Etsy shop.

Hope your Holidays have started off well. Here are a few new items.
I wanted to make a cuff bracelet for the softie/ doll lovers. And then there is my little ice skater. I designed her after the memories of winter in Amherst NY. My dad would shovel away the snow in our backyard so that my sister & I could ice skate all day! Boy, it was so cold where we lived outside of Buffalo...but we loved it! I had a white winter snowsuit and a red hat...too cute!

Fairy Elf Snow Catcher

I just finished a little Fairy Elf that loves to catch snowflakes in her little pink basket. She is only 5" tall from head to foot and has a little baby snow baby she keeps in her pocket.
I have another one I started with little polka dots on her dress. If I can find some energy, I will finish her tonight!!

Elf Helpers

Wouldn't you just love some little helpers for the holidays? One to clean, one to cook, and don't forget the one that is designated to help with the math homework!
I know I could use about five of them right now!!

So here is a little elf I created to help with the baby. She has a cute pocket to keep her in. Oh, and I added a little bell to the elf's hat so that you can always hear where she is.
There are three more in the making. Visit my Etsy shop to see some more!

The Holidays are coming!

Just when I thought It was the beginning of Fall, I blinked and I see Christmas everywhere. I say it every year...I will be ready for Christmas early. It seems like I am never early enough with my designing!

I have tons of ideas! I sometimes wish I could employ the little elves I am designing. If they could only stay up late and sew for me! And maybe help with the cleaning also!!

I just finished a Mommy & Baby doll for a dear friend the other day. There are actually 2 dolls, one for each of her little girls. They are done in Shabby colored fabrics. The baby doll is removable...so much fun!

Fall Elf Sprite Are Here!

This is a precious a little elf for the Holidays. Most of the ones I was planning to make are for Christmas, but this little girl is for Fall!

I just love all the rich Fall fabrics this year. They are a wonderful pallet of falling leaves and pumpkin shades! I especially like the polka dotted fabric I used on her dress. I added a maze colored print for a collar and topped it with a vintage lace ruffle. Then a satin black bow, of course!

Off to make some more! Happy Fall everyone!

Haunted Houses

I wanted to create a fun, cottage like Haunted House that could hang on any door. I started with a plain piece of felt. I did a drawing of the design I wanted. Next I started making the different parts such as the door, ghost,bat, and my favorite thing...the tree with the little stuffed owl!
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
