New dolls

I am really far behind on this blog but here are some of the new dolls Ive made this month.

Snow day equals get things done day

Last night we had about an inch of snow here in north east Arkansas. An inch is enough to shut down schools and business here. So since everyone cancelled their hair appointments do to this blizzard I was able to finish some dolls I had been working on.
The angel has a needle felted head and a cotton body weighted so she can stand, her arms are paper clay. She has real feather wings that I gave a aged look to and rhinestones in her hair. She is 7 1/2 inches high and in my Etsy store.
The bunny is needle felted from wool over a foam base. He has a needle felted egg and is sitting in a bed of felt grass. He is 5 1/2 inches tall and wide.
The Valentine doll has a spun cotton head and pipe cleaner arms, her dress and head scarf are made from felt with lace heart trim, I painted her face myself. She is 7 inches high and has a ribbon attached. her and the bunny are both in my Etsy store.

Hag and her picture 2011

I wanted to make a needle felted doll that looked like the woman in a old card cabinet photo I had bought. She is 11 inches high and her arms and legs are polymer clay I sculpted. Her clothing is handmade, she has stockings, pantaloons and boots. The lace on her dress and pantaloons is vintage.

My Elf made the Winter issue of Celebrate 365!!

I sent pics of my sledding needle felted elf to Connie Porcher at Celebrate 365 and she has picked him for the Winter issue. Here is a picture of the page he is on. He is in the upper right corner of the right side.

Whipe Out!

Just finished this elf, she was sledding on her mouse trap sled and whiped out into a bed of clay and poly fil snow. She is entirely needle felted.

been gone

Ive been unable to get online and post. My mother passed away late Monday evening from colon cancer and complications of chemo. She had been batteling this since May 26th of this year. She was a nurse for over 20 years and knew when the doctors told her she had large clots in both lungs that things had gotten bad. I was with her by her side for every chemo and doctor trip she made this past 6 months. I was with her when she passed, she fell asleep at 11:00 p.m. and passed at 11:15. My dad was able to get to the hospital and be there the last few minutes. She went into this fighting and never gave up. She would have been 62 on her birthday this year Dec. 24th.
