Ready for SPRING!!

It is a warm day in Virginia Beach today. After weeks of 30 degree weather...(We are not use to that here). It is feeling like Spring. It wont last, but it also wont be much longer when the sun warms the ground and we start to see some little flowers reaching up.
I have been trying so hard to stay ahead on my holiday designs, and this year I am finally getting things done early. I just love making heart plush pins, rings and bunnies. So today I listed a bunch of them. Hope you enjoy them!!

Valentine Plush Ring

I just love making things for Valentines Day!! Yesterday I started making some little plush heart shaped rings. I started with a felt heart which I added some flower trim to. I added sequins and pink glass seed beads. To top it off I added some pearl beads all around the heart. Fits any size!!
I just love making them!! I am making more today!!!! See them at my shop www.mommylion.etsy.com

2010 will Be a Great Year for all!!!

So glad to bring in the New Year. I hope all of you have had a safe Holiday!
I am so ready for Spring. We have had my father-in-law staying with us for the holidays. My daughter is lucky to have him here. I wish I had had more time with my grandparents. We don't think about how important our family ties are until we are older. Isn't that true?
We are blessed to have him with us this holiday season! But, I am already thinking of Valentine's day, love, and the beautiful warm Spring weather that is ahead here in Virginia Beach.
I have to say, I love the winter months at the Beach. No tourists, just quiet waves...just beautiful...but I am ready to plant flowers!!!
Here to help us celebrate the Spring are some wonderful plush pieces at my Etsy shop...come see!!

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!
