Just submitted two of my dolls to Stampington

Just submitted two of my pieces to the Anthropomorphic Dolls challenge that is being hosted by Stampington for the Art Doll Quarterly magazine.  

I kinda waited til the last minute to submit my work, so I guess we'll just see what happens next. 

Today I finished my Mushroom Troll!  Well she's not really a Troll, but rather a Mushroom type Character. She's a OOAK creation and has a real whimsical way about her.

finally getting back

It seems like forever since I've worked on my troll.  She now has an Arm...........and is so close to being done.  I'm getting excited about getting her done and maybe starting a new one.   It's hard to work inside when the weather is so nice outside.  So I'll just keep plugging along!

Love the colors of this quilt

I just love the colors of this quilt!  Spent the day at the Road to California Quilt show. It was amazing as usual. So much to see and buy. 

learning something new

Yesterday I played with my Photoshop program.  So much to learn!  Actually I got a new computer.  Switched from using a PC to a Mac.  Everything is different and of course not all PC software works on the Mac.  To make a long story short, I want to re-do my website.  

Have bought dreamweaver CS6 and have lots to learn.  Yikes!

Doll Display at Road to California Quilt Show

Today was a fun day!  So I thought I would share.  If you get the chance to go to the Road to California You should go!!!  Not only to see the wonderful Quilt Exhibit, Shop and what not, but to go see the wonderful display of Dolls that Patti Culea organized.  

I was so lucky to be part of and it was great fun to be at the other end for a change and to be able to help set up the dolls.  Love it!

Always another project

Happy New Year, everyone!
It seems I always have a project to work on, then I forget to post or blog.  Actually right now I'm getting ready for my daughter Hanna to come live with us.  And I'm very excited!!

I found this old dresser while thrifting. Painted it, took off the doors and added some new hardware. Which of course let to things like emptying out the bedroom, having the bedroom painted and then purging out some things that I don't use.

I painted a gifted shelf to go in the new guest room.  To make a long story short, still working on putting things back.

A belated Christmas present for a friend, that I made from a Dawn Schiller on-line Dollstreet class.

And this that I started last week!

A Big thanks
