BAGSTOBRAFABOUT Summer Swap

Thank you Kit....
She sent me this wonderful red SILK DUPIONI, black and white polka dotted silk lined bag with a beautiful velvet rose closure....to top that, the handles are made from onyx and ivory beads! Ooooo LA LA! So beautiful!

Kit is a glass artist and she included this beautiful peace sign ... how did she know that it is among my favorites?



I only hope that she liked this bag of my own design! NOT a glass designer myself, but merely a glass lover, I wanted to give Kit something special...look closely at the glass closure of her purse....hope she liked it~


Friends of Cloth Dolls Doll Challenge





WHOOHOO! HOORAY!!!! My crazy zany orange-headed doll, Diadairro, tied for third place in the recent Friends of Cloth Dolls Penny Doll Challenge.


How it all started? Claire Pruitt made a cloth doll pattern in the likeness of the antique wooden penny dolls of days gone by... FOCD challenged us dollmakers to make the "Penny Doll" using Claire Pruitt's pattern and ... the garments were to be our pattern. Here are the pictures of my dolls... I love this pattern with its really rounded head and jointed limbs...they were fun to make!

Here is a pic of her in her cute little skirt.....



ElanaMarie is the opposite....she is dark-haired... I love silk dupioni and boy is she all silked out! Here she sits in her outfit
She has a cute face, doesn't she!


Here is a picture of her showing her jointed limbs. Her camisole top and bloomers are made from white silk dupioni!
