Egyptian Mummy Doll..... Atinmerit

It has been way too long since I have updated my blog! Most of you know I went back to school last year, but not many know of my new career! For one of my classes this spring, I had to do an intership. I called so many places and was about to give up when one Doctor's office took a chance on me. I finished up the intership, enjoyed every minute of it, then about a week later..... they called and offered me a job! How awesome! Been going strong there for 4 months. I have one more class to finish up at school and I graduate!

I've been sewing a little bit, here and there, with my free time and have a few dolls listed on Etsy. Here is the link if you would like to look:

My most current doll is now on Ebay. She is an Egytian Mummy Doll named Atinmerit. Her name means "an Egyptian Queen." She is the bomb digity! She measures 17" tall and is placed upon a wooden candlestick. Wrapped in the best mummy "gaze," Atinmerit is ready for Halloween with or without her trick or treat bag! Her auction ends on Sunday, August 28th at 9:15 pm EST. Here is her link if you would like to see!

Dancing Witch Sisters!

These sisters are just so darn excited that the Halloween season is here!! They thought about celebrating on the TV show Dancing with the Stars, but were rejected because they didn't want to show so much clevage. LOL But they are excited to be dancing around their caldron and singing a merry song!

Miss October 31st PFATT Group Challenge

Oooooo I get excited everytime June rolls around. Not just because summer if offically here, but because the Halloween season has officially begun! My most favorite time of the year! Sewing for Halloween juices up all the creative energies and sends me back to my childhood and simplier times. Simplier because there was no need for worry and costumes were simple. I would always rummage through my Dad's closet when it came close to Trick or Treating and  put on his clothes and shoes, throw on a spooky, old man mask and away we'd go! Candy time! After my sister and I would collect our loot, we'd dump it onto the living room floor and pick out everything we didn't like. Poor dad, he would get all the leftover's we couldn't stand. What thanks for letting us wear his clothes! LOL

I was happy when the idea came up on the PFATT Group that we were going to have another PFATT Tuesday and the theme was going to be Miss October 31st! Caroline Rathburn has been in my head for a while now and was glad when she could finally emerge!

On her way to the Halloween Ball, Caroline met her fate in an automobile accident. Everyone was devastated and decided to make her the "Queen" of the Ball anyway. She was buried in her gown, along with her crown. Little did everyone know, she is still "Queen" of the afterlife!

Here is Caroline's Ebay link if you would like to peek:

You can also search PFATT and see what the other ladies have come up with!

Also wanted to tell you that my Americana and Halloween Star Head dolls are now listed on Etsy!

Here is their link if you would like to see more!

Zirelda McKalb has arrived!

Hey all! Now if you read my last post, you were all about to fall off your chairs because I listed a new dolly on Ebay. So, you are already on the ground and I've listed another, so don't pass out!! LOL Another Halloween goody was listed and will end on Sunday night. Wasn't thinking it was the 4th of July, just shocked and amazed at myself! Here's a couple of pics of Zirelda McKalb. I love this gal from her hat to her dress fabric and everything inbetween!

Creepy Skelley's anyone???

Hello!! I just listed the creepiest 6" skeletons on Ebay. If you leave them as a garland, they stretch 60", but they can be separated and used with dolls, in a coffin or whatever your imagination comes up with. Here is the link if you would like to see more:

Black and Orange Season begins......

June is the official kick off of the 2009 Halloween/Fall Season or better known as the Black and Orange Parade! LOL I have started this new season off with a sweet gal named Junie. The inspiration for her came when I was watching a movie called The Duchess. The movie was set in the late 1700's in England. The women were all dressed in corseted fashions and had big dresses and big hair! They also enjoyed their masked balls. Here is Junie's link if you would like to see more!

I recently changed my Ebay ID from kathysprims to primsicalstudios. My Etsy ID will remain kathysprims. (Too hard to change there!) Guess everyone needs a change once in a while.

Hope you all have a Primsical Day and many blessings to you all!

Witchy Black Cat!

This sweet piece's inspiration was the dress fabric. It's a retro repro print with a Black Cat playing the fiddle, while an Owl dances. I wish I could find more of this retro fabric. It just has a different aura about it that brings back memories of the past. You know, when trick or treat was fun and safe and you could go, by yourself, door to door. When you could ride your bike around your block and not have to worry about anyone nabbing you. I miss those days and wish my daughter could have experienced that, but we are living in an age when I can't even let my girl out in her own backyard without worry. Anyway, here is my sweet kitty cat and her link:

Once was old, is new again!

This gal used to be someone else a couple of weeks ago, but she didn't find a home. Soooooo, she has been transformed into a whole new person. (Boy, sometimes I wish I could actually do that with my own life!) I don't often do that, but this one was just too sweet and a whole lot of time and detail has gone into her.
She is my Hobbit Witch. Hope you like her. Here's her link on Ebay:

I actually got to work out in the yard yesterday. It was just a glorious day and today is supposed to be even better. I hope the sun is shining on you wherever you may be and have yourself a Primsical Day!

It's Never too Early!

You know those old sayings..... "The Early Bird Catches the Worm"...... Early to Bed, Early to Rise....." well, if it were up to me, I would be sewing Fall all year 'round. I don't know if it's the colors or the the magical feel that is in the air for that time of year, but I love it! Although Greta can be a Halloween Witch, she can also be just a Moon and Stars doll. Depending on your decor, she can be left out all year 'round. She is larger than my last few dollies..... 26" tall and she has that wonderful whispy hair. I listed her on Ebay and she can be bid on or you can Buy It Now. If you do Buy It Now, I will give FREE Shipping to the US. What a deal!

Here is her link if you would like to see more of Greta:

I am hoping to have more things listed on Ebay and in my Etsy Store this week. Two bunnies and two kitty cats are in the works.

Have a great week everyone! Enjoy your day and don't sweat the small stuff! It's only stuff!

Kathy

Hey Everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful day! I want to wish you all many Easter Blessings! I am contemplating going in my garden and picking all my hyacinths and daffodils. We had a beautiful week last week and now they are forecasting snow for us. My spring bulbs look the best they ever have and I want to preserve them for a little longer. If I pick, I will pic! LOL

I finished up three new dollies yesterday. Nothing like cutting it close to the wire. It's not my fault, they were being stubborn and wouldn't let me know what they wanted to be! This one is named Seraphina. She is an Equestrian Doll and has false eyelases and a stick pony.

This is Flora. She is in my Etsy Shop. Her banner she holds says it all.... Simplify!

This is my first witch of the year. She is in my Etsy shop too! Paige is a sweet witchlet and can be left out all year round!
