whimsical santa doll


I'm so excited to have finally made my first Santa Clause doll! I've been wanting to make one ever since I got a santa head off the clearance rack this past January - I just didn't quite know what to use for his body. Then, I finally figured it out and wah-la!

I'm looking forward to making more whimsical santas

Paperdolls


I've always loved paperdolls and have dabbled a little in embellishing them; usually just keeping them their original size. I decided to try something different so I made them bigger and dressed them up for Halloween. I love the way they turned out! It feels good to try something new every now and then.

Holidays Are Coming!!!


I do love Fall! I'm ready for cooler weather and all of the fun upcoming events. I've recently discovered a new design for Christmas ornaments. This is just one example of the many ways to use a simple ball ornament for the base.


Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Party Pixies are getting ready for fall!


I've been busy coming up with some new designs for Fall & Halloween. I'm definitely NOT big on anything scary or morbid - I like to keep things Happy & Glittery! I've been making my usual party pixie dolls, but have been adding a Halloween twist.

Summer time creating!


Don't ya just love summer? To me, there's just something nostalgic about it. I get to reconnect with my children and they remind me that I don't have to be on a schedule all the time.

I have always been fascinated with the ocean. When I was a little girl, I loved to play in the ocean; Now, I'm terrified of the water - I know what lives in it!

I absolutely adore seashells of all kinds and create with them as often as I can. I ordered an assortment of shell coin purses a few years ago, not really knowing what I would do with them. Then, one day I had an idea. I started turning them into shell pixies! This last one that I made is my favorite, so far. The front of her shell says "Celebrate Life" and there is a pink ribbon bead in the middle of it. I hope that she will inspire you to celebrate your life and also to remember how important a mammogram is. It can save your life!
Have a great day and enjoy this beautiful summer!
