Dolls and Purses

This is the doll I sent my partner in Viv's Halloween Swap. The doll I received is in a post a couple below. I've named this one "Tessa and Her Prized Pumpkin"
See my bloomers? I think they are so cute. I included the fat quarter she is sitting on too but forgot a couple of things. Darn!


This little handbag was made using a pattern by Amy Butler called "Frenchy Bag"

FOCD Swap Doll

A Yahoo group I belong to (FOCD [Friends of Cloth Dolls])is having a rag doll swap. This pattern by Kezi Matthews is what I made for my partner Sue. I can't wait to see what she made me. Sue's favorite colors are the colors of sweet tarts so that is the name I gave this little girl. Little Miss Sweet Tart.




Edit: Oct. 27, Look at the pretty doll that Sue sent me for the rag doll swap! Her name is Candy Cane.

Noni Cely Doll Video Give-away

In 2001 I started making dolls and thought I had to have every pattern and video out there. I ordered this VHS video (Customizing Doll Patterns), watched it once and never did anything with it. It also came with the torso pattern. Sooooo, I decided to give it away. You can see it
here at the bottom of the page. Remember, this is NOT a DVD. It is VHS. Leave me a comment and on November 1, I'll draw a name for the video.

Found a house

We'll be moving tomorrow so won't be online until internet gets hooked up. I sure hope it isn't long.
We came back from Georgia 2 months ago and have been staying with my daughter. I didn't think it would take so long to find a place.

Viv's Halloween Swap

Here is the doll I received from my partner Catie. I'm not quite done with mine for her yet but will get it up soon.

Pincushion Swap and Angel Swap

The pin cushion is for my partner in a pin cushion swap on an online group. The top has a yo-yo that matches the bottom of the pincushion and a pretty jeweled button. It is tacked to a candle holder. I added a few fat quarters to help steady it in the box. :) Edit: Monday,the 6th. I received Connie's pin cushion today. Here is her pretty one for me.
The bag and other things below is what I made for my partner in a secret angel swap. I made her a travel kit consisting of the tote, tissue holder, zippered pouch, travel case for mini cutting board (included) with a pin from our quilt shop here in town and a heart shaped needle case that I designed. I also added a needle threader, 3 heart pins, M&M calender for the next year, and a pumpkin cookie! I sure hope she likes her gift. UPDATE: Sharon of Red Geranium Cottage opened her gift and said she was very happy!

Yucky food!

Whoa Nelly!! Hubby and I stopped at Perkins tonight, this morning. It's 12:11 now am. THE worst coffee ever. The food was terrible!!! Greasy, bad tasting. I didn't eat a quarter of it. Last night it was the Waffle House and the food was "almost" as bad, but at least ate it.
