Happy Easter

     I know it's past Easter, but I hope you all had a blessed Easter. 

    I have been selling some of my dolls lately on eBay. Trying to down size a little and also branching off into some of the vinrage dolls. Also dolls that are replicas of vintage dolls. I have gotten some Toni dolls from the 1950's and some different size Patsy dolls. So in weeks ahead I will be posting things about my new doll collecting. I have also learned to do some repair work on vintage dolls, so I will be posting about that. I am excited on getting started on my new ventures with dolls. It should be fun to make things for dolls from a different time era. I will be posting soon. 

    I hope I still have people out there that are interested. So see you soon. Till next time may God bless you all. 

Hugs, DeeDee

Hello Again.

Hi to my followers, if your still here. Things have been so up and down around here but I think I'm starting to get back in the swing of things. Life has thrown a lot of curves, but I just throw it right back. 

Our daughter still has problems with health and always will. We have her daughter living with us. She has grown up so fast. She's in 11th grade and has a job. Anyway enough of personal stuff. 

I have some projects lined up. Doll house kind of got put on a back burner, but I did work on some of the dolls. I will post pictures later. Wiring will be the next step for the doll house. 

Hopefully I will be doing more crafting and posting this year.

Until later, May God Bless You All. 

Hugs, DeeDee

All About Posting

I thank all of my followers. I am slow anymore with posting. But that is due to my illnesses. But I hope to take care of some of that on the 26th of this month. I have an appointment with a cardiologist then. Hoping and praying for good news. This week I am hoping to post pictures of my dollhouse and dolls as far as it has progressed. I am pleased with it so far. Next step is the wiring and putting on the additions. I'm looking forward to working on it again. So hopefully with God's help the Dr.'s will help me.
So until next time may God Bless and take care of you.
Hugs, DeeDee

I am sorry it has been so  long since my last post.  I am still battling illness, but do feel better some of the time. I do plan on doing some projects this year. So I will be posting what I'm doing from time to time. I don't get a lot of time for projects between Dr. appointments for me and my daughter. My daughter has Dystonia and has seizures so I spend a lot of time with her lately. But I am praying for a better year in 2013 for all of us.
 

The first of my projects for this year is building a dollhouse from a kit. Then I will be making furnishings and clothes for the dolls. The dollhouse I have chosen is "Willow" by Corona Concepts. It is a 3 story colonial house. I also plan on adding a basement underneath it once it is put together.  I purchased some people but still have more to get. I am planing on having parents, grandparents, 5 children, maid, cook and butler. So I should be busy for some time. To start with here are some pictures of what the house is to look like when done. And a few dolls I have gotten. I will be making the clothes for the dolls and sharing what I'm doing as it progresses.

So until next time, hopefully soon, Take care.
May God Be With You. Hugs, DeeDee

To my followers, I apologize. I am still battling my illness so I have not been posting much. Trying to keep up with most things is keeping me busy, and then I'm tired so I nap. I hope to do some posting real soon. I have some projects lined up, just to be able to get to them is the next thing. Also I am thinning out my doll collection which takes some time away from crafting. because I choose which dolls go and then get them ready for selling. But that is going quite well, little at a time. Well ladies, check back again I hope to be posting more in the near future. Take care, May God Bless, Hugs DeeDee

Just Checking In

I have been hoping to post some but as usual I have been sick again. I have no immune system so I seem to catch all kind of things. I'm beginning to think I should live in a bubble. I have completed some new projects, as my body will allow. I do a little in the morning and then sleeping the afternoon. Hopefully I will be able to do something before Easter and get some posting done. Until next time Take Care and May God Bless.
Hugs, DeeDee

My Latest Projects

Happy St. Patricks Day! Are You Irish?

    Well I said I would be back this week to post so here I am.  Can you believe it is the middle of March already. Where does time go? And we have beautiful weather for this time of year.  It was 76° yesterday and so far 63° today.

     In between running to doctors and hospital I have been busy with projects. To start with I got a new doll and made her a new dress. The doll is a 18 inch Friends Boutique by Madame Alexander. So she has been added to the collection of dolls. Sometime I will have to post pictures of my doll collection. But that is for another day.

     Then the next doll is the last one of my reborn dolls that I have finished. I gave a talk to the local Women's Club about Reborn Dolls and she was one of my examples to show.  The ladies all liked her and the other dolls that I took to show. I was told that they all liked my talk about reborning. That is only my second time for public speaking so I was a little nervous. But it went very well. It's pretty easy when you have a good audience.

     Next up is one of my latest projects that I love doing. My Hubby bought me a new Baby Lock Esante Embroidery machine. I also got a new HP laptop and an Explorations software for making and editing  embroidery designs. Then I connect the laptop to the machine via USB and transfer the design to the machine. Then the machine does the embroidery. The picture above is two Beagles I embroidered on a sweatshirt. the bottom is the finished picture. For my first project I thought it turned out ok.

     This the machine and laptop with the program showing. I have a few new things to talk about and some information on them that I will be sharing with you soon.

    

    So until next time take care and May God Bless.

Hugs, DeeDee
