1 st > Move the junk on desk . Clear a small area , notice that you are happy you bought the 1945 rose lamp and the old pincushion and happy you made that apple guy years ago .
*** don't forget to click on a photo so you can see it large
Don't think about food or how you should be cleaning the house . focus
2nd > so after I drew her on fabric , I sewed her , and carefully turned her inside out and carefully stuffed her . Now I pencil in details and start to paint
It's at this point I think I must be insane ..... very time consuming
but then it all comes together , with my Inktense pencils I add more detail and shading , buttons on her pigtails
and all of a sudden she's a real doll { but it's really been a few hours } .... but hey > all of a sudden we have a doll !
I'm tired
but happy ....... I finished a doll today . She is for sale . She is 11 and 1/2 inches tall .
I will put her in my Etsy shop later tonight
UPDATE >>>>> sold
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You forgot to mention the magic fairy dust you sprinkle around that makes them come to life! Happy New Year Sandy :-)
Sometimes I can't get past the part where you stop thinking about food and cleaning! She's a great doll.
Wait a minute...you have to stop thinking about FOOD? No wonder I never finish anything. :) And I agree about your pixie dust. Happy New Year! xo
LOL! She is fantastic!!!! Thanks for sharing!
You are inspiring! Now if only the cats would clean...
I have got to tell you that the cat pin you made and sold me for my MIL was a HUGE hit. She adored it. You are so talented, and I cannot believe how you dream these cute things up and all of then are so different. Amazing.
Happy New Year to you, too.
XO,
Sheila
I love her! She is fabulous! :)
I love the Apple Man too.....he made me smile
good to hear from you, Sandy! Keep on crafting!!
Great to hear from you! And she's a doll! Love all the life you give your pieces. And the lamp and apple guy too. (I'm just beginning to appreciate the pieces I've kept for myself.)
Love your dolls! I got some inktense pencils for Christmas and I LOVE them, thanks for mentioning them in your blog entries. Happy New Year!
