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!

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!

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!

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!

Americana Beauty!

Are you for the Red, White and Blue? I combined a couple of themes to make Saylor and her tiny Uncle Sam. Sailing, Americana and the Beach! I love them all! Saylor even has sculpted toes and a pedicure! LOL Here is the link to see more pics and where she is listed:

Tuxedo, Black and White Cat

It was sweet cat week at the Primsical Studio's workshop. I finished up my version of a Tuxedo Cat and listed her on Ebay. There is a reasonable Buy It Now on her if you would like to adopt her. Sorry, you have to provide your own litter box! LOL My Witchy Halloween Black Cat is shown in the post below. Here is the link for Tori:

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!

Love is in the Air.......

Happy V-Day Everyone! I've been in the kitchen the past few days and not in my workroom too much. One of the things we made today was a Macaroni and Cheese Pizza. My girl said it was good, but I would have to give it some pizzaz! I've got a great recipe for homemade pizza dough. Very easy, especially when you have a big stand mixer with a dough hook! If you want the recipe, leave a comment or email me! I've been trying to get more than a couple of dollies done this week, but time kept getting away from me. Here are the two I did get done:

Neecie and Baby Mer

Dollies

Franki

Black Magic Doll

I have a third I hope to list on Sunday night. She is a sunflower doll.....just playing the waiting game for things to dry! LOL Make sure to stop back on Sunday..... I will post some exciting news for you all to see!

Have a Primsical Day

In the Christmas swing.......

My husband woke me up this morning to tell me it was snowing outside. I guess he is just a big kid at heart and was excited! I just hope I don't find him with his tongue stuck to a metal pole like in A Christmas Story. LOL That is one of my favorite holiday movies!

I've been a good little elf and decided to make a Mrs. for the Santa I sold a couple of weeks ago. Most people think it's the elves that keep Santa fat, but it really is the Mrs. This week she is baking up some sweet gingerbread men wearing her fancy, Glass Glitter Shoes! And then there is Monty Mouse. He is getting ready for Santa to come down his chimney and leave lots of little presents under his tree. I tell ya, the smaller the dolly, the more time you have in them. I was finally glad to call him done! LOL

I hope you all are having a great weekend! May snow find you wherever you are!
