Good morning all.  Currently there is  a Facebook challenge going on so I thought I would post on my blog for those who do not have a Facebook account. Rhonda Aquino has invited me to the 5 day Art Doll challenge, to be amongst these ladies is an honor. For 5 days I will post 3 of my creations. Day 1 of the challenge I am posting some of the first dolls I made.

I am excited to announce my dolls are now also available at Bittersweet Primitives located in Franklin Tennessee. Owner Debbie Miller has a great shop. You can check it out at: http://www.chopmainstreets.com/tn/frankllin/bittersweet primitives.html

Well, its been awhile since I have updated my blog. Shame on me! Well a lot has changed in my life the passed few years. I am now a Nana and it is great having a grandchild I must say. I hang out with her a few times a week and when she is not here exploring my studio I am sewing or drilling away making my dolls. Here are some of my creations.

This is one of my recent dolls. Emma Margaret was up all night sewing by candle light. Soon Emma Margaret will be off traveling new roads. Where will she go? Emma is off traveling to Holly Michigan. She is now available at Holly Hills Primitives.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Holly-Hills-Primitives/195572723811421
