Lace and fabric picture collage

I had this fabric piece with pictures and sayings for a baby girl. I wanted to make a kind of crazy quilt collage with my old and new laces and the pictures. I added a few charms, beads and ribbon work

Here is a close up of some of the beading and ribbon flowers

Quilt and doll and family

Here is a quilt top I have finished using Asian fabrics. It was a gift and there was a jelly roll of strips and the pattern and some pieces of fabrics. Now I just have to quilt it!

































It was my granddaughter Kassy's 12th birthday. I went to visit her and give her present.
From left to right: my grandson Calvin, my SIL Brian, my daughter Samantha and my new granddaughter Mallorie, my granddaughter Kassy, my daughter Stephanie.
Sam and Brian are married.



























Here is my new doll I made from Barbara Willis' book Cloth Doll Artistry. It is a nice book!



The clothes are made from silks. Her body is doe suede, silks and batiks. Her hair is mohair. I love all the embellishing that Barbara's dolls have.

Hoffman Challenge doll

This is my doll for the Hoffman Challenge. She is called 'Asian Steampunk'. I had lots of fun doing the Victorian/gear thing. Her obi is a corset and the tie is instead geared wings. Her fan is geared too. She has her goggles and top hat but still has the Kimono look.

These are a closeup of her boots. The band has little watch gears on it

Baby Mallorie and crocheted sweater

Here is a picture of Mallorie on Sunday May 22. She is five days old.

Here is the little sweater I crocheted.
Had to make a pink one!

New granddaughter

I have been off line as my Internet was down. I am back now and a new provider and faster connection! Yea!
My new granddaughter Mallorie was born Wed. May 18 at 2:19 am. She weighed in at 7 lbs and 9 ounces and is 19 1/2 inches long. It was a long labor and grandpa and I were there the whole time. We have seen each of our grandkids being born. It is so exciting watching them being born. A real miracle!

Here is a picture of Mallorie and daughter Samantha.
