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!

Their auction ends on Sunday night and here is the link if you would like to see more!!

Lifeguard Lennie

Hi Everyone!!

Once again, I am late to the party! Life sure has thrown me some curve balls the past year and a half, but by the grace of God, I do believe we are on the right path. Don't wanna bore you with all the details, just happy the rough times are behind us and we can move forward.

On that note, just wanted to share some good news..... a little late! The premiere issue of the magazine "Prims" is out and my doll and I were selected to be in the pages.

Lennie the Lifeguard is on page 121.

I would like to thank the people who made this possible. The Lord above, Stampington & Co., along with Jennifer Jackson, my family and friends and my forever love of dolling. Could not do what I do without the love and support of my worldwide family either! You all rock!

Thanks again and I hope you all have a Primsical Day!

Emily

I finally decided to put Emily up for adoption. She's a very good girl. She doesn't talk back or eat much and she loves dressing up for different holidays. LOL Emily was the pattern model for the March 2010 edition of Soft Dolls & Animals Magazine. She measures 20" tall and is made from aged osnaburg fabric.

I have painted on her face and needle sculpted her nose. Her hair was hand-dyed from a soft, curly mohair. Her dress and jacket are all from companion fabrics with hand-stitching and vintage lace. Emily's headband is removeable, along with her bunny purse.

Here is the auction link if you would like to see more!

The Penny Tree Coming Soon.....

My dear, sweet PFATT friend, Penny McAllister, is battling acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and the girls in the PFATT House are going to have an auction. Over 30 members have made an ornament to go on the feather tree and all proceeds will go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Alabama Chapter. The tree and all its ornies should go up for sale the first couple of weeks of February. Most girls have made ornies in Penny's favorites including the color red and polka dots.

As soon as Penny starts to talk, you are drawn into her southern, Alabama drawl. Her quick wit and stories make you cry and laugh at the same time. Penny's pieces of art are recognized all over the world and bring joy to so many who own them!

Here is my offering for this great cause! Stay tuned to see more and hear more about the Penny Feather Tree Auction!!

Hope you are having a Primsical Day!

Happy New Year!!!

Oh My Goodness! I can't believe it's been this long since I updated my blog! I am so sorry! Work has taken me away from everything I love and miss! I am currently working close to full-time in the retail business and this past Christmas season was just crazy! I hope to get back to my passion of sewing and creating very soon.

I hope to have a few auctions to list this evening..... we'll see how that goes! LOL But in the meantime, I have some good news to share! Back in October, I created several pieces for some upcoming magazines. One was for 365 Celebrate! the other for Soft Dolls and one more to be named later.

This is Crystal and she is in the Winter 2009 of 365 Celebrate! Connie Porcher puts together such a wonderful magazine! So much eye candy and lovely pieces for purchase. Thanks Connie for including me in such a great magazine!

Emily is in the covers of the March 2010 issue of Soft Doll Magazine. Another great magazine chalked full of patterns and techniques. This issue should be available by the end of January and includes the pattern for Emily and her bunny purse. Thanks Kelly for letting me and Emily in your magazine!

I hope you all are enjoying the new year and I pray that the worst of times are over and we can all look forward to a prosperous new year!

Primsical Blessings to you all!

Winter "Solstice"

Well, I hate to say it, but winter is knocking at our door here in Ohio. The beautiful fall leaves have peaked and they are slowing making their decent downward. The air has turned crisp and cool and believe it or not, we've had a few flakes come down a couple of weeks ago. So, with that said, I thought I better get it in gear and start some winter dollies. Here is my first snowgirl of the season. Her name is Solstice. I love her toile dress with subtle layering of fabrics and just enough bling to make her shine even brighter!
Here is her link if you would like to see more!

Happy Monday!

At least I hope it's a happy Monday for you! The only reason I like Monday's is because Dancing with the Stars is on! LOL I admit, I am addicted to it. Unfortunately, I have to work this evening, so my main squeeze is going to record it for me. I don't have anything to list on Ebay this week, but I am working on two new projects. They both will debut next year! Luckily, I will enjoy looking at them for the next 4 months in my workroom. LOL

I was going through some old files on my computer this morning, deleting ones that were no longer important and I found something that made me smile! It was a poem that my daughter wrote in 7th grade and I forgot all about it. I had to share it with you all because I can't believe a then 12 year old wrote this and I'm very proud of my girl!

Who Are Our Future Heroes?

Our future heroes
Are the kind, the caring, and the nice
Our heroes are people who
Give old toys to the poor
Or give up time to volunteer
Heroes are kind and caring

The people who say excuse-me
Or thank-you
Are very polite and have good manners
If they carry the books and binders
At school for those with a
Broken leg or arm
Heroes help one another

Future heroes are responsible
For what they say and do
They are also
People we often look
Up to

Our heroes are the sharing and true
Who never hardly lie
And share their things with
Other people
They are the people who do work
Without wanting pay

Heroes are those who help their
Parent or guardian
Do the dishes or cut the lawn
They try hard in school
And never cheat and play by the rules

They hold fund-raisers
For a good cause
Our future heroes help the elderly
Open doors
Or cross the road
Heroes are those that try to help all ages
Learn and try new things

Those who all they want back
Is knowing they did a good deed
Future heroes need all of these qualities so why don’t you try
To be a good role model to all humanity

Thanks for stopping by and have a Primsical Day!

Summertime Fun in the Sun!

Since a vacation, to the beach, is out of the question for me this year, I thought I would dream of it through my dolls. I love making my beach themed dollies and this guy screams the water!! He has three things going for him that I hardly ever do.....one, he's a boy; two, he has ears; and three, he has sculpted toes! I named my little man Big Ben, the Barefoot Beach Life Guard. Awfully long name for this little dude, but he is full of charm! Here is his link if you would like to see more pics of him:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280343332680&_trkparms=tab%3DSelling

Ben has FREE shipping to the US and ends on Friday night, the 15th of May.

Here's hoping your vacation dreams come true! Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a Primsical Day!

In the Swim of Things!

It's weird how little things will bring back memories of our younger years. Chloe reminds me of my teenage years when my parents packed up my sister and me and we headed to Myrtle Beach, SC. One of my most favorite and relaxing spots. Collecting seashells along the beach and walking in the sand for what seemed like forever. My most favorite part was just the sounds you would hear. The sound of the waves always made you relax and the sun brought warmth to your skin. Aaaaaaahhhhhh happy times!

So, in the spirit of all that, Chloe came to be. She is reminisce of a 1920's style bathing beauty. She has such a serene expression on her face and a wool bathing suit with bunches of hand-stitching. She has a sweet life preserver around her waist and who could resist that pinwheel!?!?

If you would like to see more of Chloe, here is her link on Ebay:

I hope that wherever you are, you can get out and enjoy your day!
