My Sorceress

Here is my doll that was part of a challenge. The voting is over so I can show her now.

I used black velvet for the dress and a netting in the front. She has a raven on her hand and her crystal wand in the other hand. She has a leasther horned hat and a fluffy black fur yarn knitted wig.

Gift for Secret sister

Here is a bag I made for my secret sister at guild. I forget the charm pack name but I think the fabrics were from Free Spirit. I love charm square packs and using them!

swaps and sewing

I got the cutestest little pincushion for this month's pindollalley swap. It is from Heera! The green haired alien is from Joanne. Isn't she special!!

I made a table runner from the Pumpkin's Gone Wild panel by Moda. The panel wasn't totally on grain so it is a bit wavy. I just needed some more Autumn decor.

More Birthday

My Wed mini group had a celebration of my birthday last Wed. These are the gifts they gave me. So generous. look at the flesh colored fabrics and the bag and the fur yarn and kitty socks and a kitty pin. Also got some money which I used to buy fabric online! A fun time at Sizzler's resturant where my dinner was also bought for me!

My Birthday

My birthday was yesterday (21st). I had a nice one. My hubby got me a new shower head that has a removable sprayer. I wanted that! My MIL gave me money! I can go buy fabric!! My youngest daughter got me a new radio/cd player. The one in my sewing room went kaput! LOL My oldest daughter and gradkids got me a mini rose plant which I will let hubby take care of so I don't kill it! Also some Beverly bucks to use at my local craft/fabric store. Got some cute handmade card from the grandkids. They all came top my house to see me too. I also belong to a birthday swap where we send fabric to birthday girls. Here is a pic of my fabric sent from all over the world! It is bright and fun! I also got chinese food for dinner so I had a great birthday!

catch up

Well, it has been a while since my last post. I have been working on a few things.

The red hat is a pin cushion. We made those this month on the pindoll list. The doll is a Summer Goddess that I angeled for someone who didn't get that swap. She is from a pattern in Lil Hertz book. The mermaid is from Arley Berryhill's pattern. It is for my mini group three color challenge. I got the colors emerald, burgandy and fusia. They were a starting point and I used a light colored green batik with fusia and burgandy (light) in it. I like how she turned out. LOved the hair with all the colors in it!

swaps

Well I have been busy sewing dolls but they are for challenges so can't show pics yet! I did get a swap in my pindoll group and I sent one off for my artist paper doll and trading card group. Here are those pics.

I got the cute merbaby from Mary. Isn't the tail fabric fab!

I made the 'faery tale' paperdoll for Roslind.
