8 inches tall

Can you stand it?!?  I totally am loving how this little girl is turning out.  The clothing and accessories are always the fun part for me.  This is when cloth becomes a little character of sorts.

This is a Christmas troll, sitting on a large package.  Is he entangled in ribbon or Christmas lights???  Guess we'll find out soon.

Summer time

Summer time is always a busy time and since my studio is upstairs, it tends to get quite warm. I really haven't worked on my troll since May.  Yesterday I pulled her out because I do need to finish her.

With that said............I will share some pics of what has been happening this summer. 

I'm always making something.  Crocheting, Art, Sewing.... you name it.  I also did a little canning.  Made some yam. Attended several concerts and am just enjoying life.

Finally some shoes

Funny how life goes on and not every day is a creative venture.  Today I finally started on the shoes.  I'm real happy with how they add to the over all look of my latest Troll.  It helps if you have a good book to listen to.  I just finished listening to Anansi Boys.  Getting lost in creating and the story.  Hopefully it won't be long now that she'll be done.

Oh' almost forgot.  The shoes are made from a t-shirt scrap.  Then painted with Sobo glue, which dries clear and gives the shoe a little stiffness.

Been working on the quilt top

Yesterday I worked on the quilt top.  Well actually Sunday I cut out the pieces, yesterday I started sewing and surprisingly so it's coming together rather well.  Knock on wood!!  The top two rows are in sewn blocks and the rest still needs to be sewn.

I'm really liking it so far. ;-)

I will make it a little longer, I don't want feet sticking out of the bottom. LOL
