Boo

I have been making more of my fantasy clown dolls since I have sold 2 of them recently and need some more stock. Boo is a winter clown seeing that he is dressed so warmly!! He looks a bit contemplative but is not sad.

Stealing Time

This past week end has been such a sad one for us since one of Marelie's friends passed away in the hospital. Sayre Colt would have turned 10 this week and we are going to miss his ready smile, soft, kind hearted and generous spirit.

Sayre and Kaylee were Marelie's first friends in the US as they were our neighbours in the condo we lived in down town.

I made this doll in honor of Sayre but also to remind myself that time flies away and every second spent with our children is precious. Never do we know when our time with them might run out.

Sometimes we allow unimportant things to steal time away and we need to live, love and laugh every second we can.

Sayre we will miss you and will never forget you. You touched our lives and our hearts.

New arrival in Mulberry Meadow

A new fairy has arrived in the Meadow. Her name is Hazel, due to her beautiful brown eyes! She has some big decisions to make about which hat to wear to the butterfly ball and is anxiously contemplating her decision. Adapted PMC pattern.

Story to follow soon........

Muse

I have decided to make a doll that honours my MIL and sisters passion for painting and all things weird and wonderfully creative. She turned out almost as I had envisioned her. The basic concept was that she represents the "artistic muse" and carries a pallette and paint brush but she herself is the canvas (hence one white outfit). The crown on her head is filled with pieces of "canvass" , some of the paint from the palette and the crown itself represents the ideas flowing from the intertwining of these 3 elements.

Hoffman Challenge

This year I entered my first doll into the Hoffman Challenge. Looking at some of the others entries I am amazed to see the level of artistry and skill dispalyed in the dolls. Results of the challenge should be posted by middle August.

I called her Tuka that means "peacock dancing".
