A little concert just for you!

Here is a little concert put on by my daughter and her sweet little family. Missing is the youngest who will probably be joining them in full force very soon. Her violin is very tiny! She is just four. So enjoy!

Happy Anniversary to us!!!


Happy 35th Anniversary to us!!! Too busy to celebrate today.....maybe later.....
Oh, well...I am sure it will be fine. This picture is 3 1/2 years old but wish we were celebrating somewhere warm.....
I am working on "baby's first steps"....have to rework the body....am working too long on these fat little arms...
Arms are really hard for me. And baby arms - well - let's say i still have alot to learn.
This doll is coming a little larger than some of my recent ones.
Hopefully she will be done by the end of the week!!!! (Wishful thinking).
Will start my Christmas shopping next week.

IDEX 2010

Well, the first colllllllld blast of winter is here. I hope I don't have to go anywhere for a few days..
Time to get some serious sculpting done.
Whenever I get a new idea for a new face I always end up starting about five. That's why I have so many heads laying around my studio....
By the time I get around to finishing them I don't like them anymore....
I did get this little doll done for IDEX. She is a OOAK like all of my dolls. I have one more ready for the camera and another one almost ready....

Birthday cake again.....


Okay, I am on my third try for the birthday cake. This one will probably be the keeper. I made it smaller and now it is all glittered up and maybe ready to go.
I ordered some little tea sets and will add them to the piece if they are the right size. (You really never know until you get them in place.)

Happy birthday doll.

Okay, seriously, I never update this thing. I must think my life is pretty boring. Nothing to talk about.
Well, today I am finishing up a doll and making a birthday cake for her. I don't do cakes very pretty so I may have to ask my daughter Jen to do it for me.
Except she has never used clay to make a cake. I haven't either I guess.
I also need a set of fancy dishes. Should I make them also? I hate to have to go shopping for little dishes that are just the perfect size....
I wish I had a little chair and table also.....
but maybe this little person will just have to sit on the floor with her cake in front of her.
Oh, yes, I have to make balloons and a birthday hat and a squeaker for her to hold.
Better get busy....!! And all that before the end of the month!
See why I never write??
