Summer is on it`s way out...

I can`t believe we`re wrapping up the summer season. I`m always so sad to see it go. My girls went back to school this week, but are already off today and tomorrow for the jewish holiday. Happy New Year to all of you who are celebrating!

There`s alot of changes that are taking place here. I`m starting a new job this coming week in a school the next town over. It`s only part time and for a monitor position, but given the state of the economy I need to have a steady paycheck and we all know how ebay can go up and down. I`m excited though to be back out and working with people after being home bound for the last 10 years. I also registered to take CNA (certified nursing asst) classes that will begin in February. It will be night classes so thats not to bad. I`ve always wanted to work in the medical field so this will be my first step in that direction. So change is good!

I will still make time to create dolls maybe just not as many, but they`ll still be out there. I just completed this gal. I`m not quite sure yet what her name will be, but you can find her on my ebay this evening. I hope you`ll stop by for a peek. Well off to head outside and enjoy the much cooler temps today. We`re only in the 70`s....ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Guess who flew in?

Why Hilda of course! She made it all this way on her broom. I was surprised she made it through Earl, but the tropical storm that hit didn`t end up being bad at all. Well you know how those weathermen can be ;) She was glad it didn`t hinder her flight.

I love the way this witchy turned out. She was made by me using a Pineberry Lane pattern. I`m kinda liking this more prim of a look, but will still make my other girls. You may find her over on my ebay. Here`s a sneak peek at her:




I hope all on the east coast are safe and sound this morning. Wishing you all a fabulous holiday weekend!

My packaged arrived!!

You see it started over at Bev`s blog. She was excited about the birth of her twin grandbabies and wanted to host a guess the babies birth weights. Well of course I just had to play. I was pleasantly surprised to hear I was one of the two winners! Bev`s grandbabies are beautiful healthy babies. Enjoy spoiling them Bev! Thank you for all my goodies and the bird box is gorgeous!



Here`s what I won:

Night Time Abigail

I managed to squeak out another creation this week. Her name is Abigail. She`s just so sweet wearing her nightie carrying her torn and tattered bear. You can tell that guy is surely loved. You may find her over on my ebay. Here`s a peek at her.



I also wanted to share with you a fabulous crafters blog I stumbled upon. Tons of free tutorials to see. I for one want to make the retro apron. I just love that!
Have fun strolling the pages.

Bettina and her crow..

I came across this wonderful pattern from Pinberry Lane and knew it was one I just had to make. It`s more of an extreme prim doll compared to what I normally make, but I just love her. She will be listed on my ebay this evening.
Here`s a sneak peek.

Come on over to my Ebay and meet Tillie.

Hello everyone I just finished up Tillie who is ready for the fall season. Stop by
my ebay to take a look.

I finally added some items to my ebay...

Hi everyone, This week I was able to get 2 dolls done and listed on my ebay. There`s been some changes around here and I will begin working back outside the home. The state of the economy is just horrible and well here we can really use the second income. I will still squeeze in some time for handmades.
Here`s what I am offering this week:
