Let's Get Going!

Hi everyone...

Have you all recovered from the excitement of Lisa's One World One Heart event.????Wasn't that fun!

I met so many friendly people on my Magic Carpet ride. I hope to eventually visit each of you as time permits.

I have been quietly working away at various projects. The one I am posting to-day is a large tote bag, 24"x24" I made for a friend celebrating her 81st birthday. Should have had my camera with me, but I forgot it!! darn. Anyway we took "Lou" out for lunch and presented her with the bag. She Loved it .. It was a fun day..

Her is a picture of the bag.

POSTCARD MAIL ART

Here are a couple of postcards I just finished for a trade.. The subject was "Blue Moon"...I used my embellisher machine and wool rovings and wool felt along with some Angelina for a bit of sparkle.

Machine and hand embroidery along with some beads complete the scenes.... I Love doing these postcards

FINALLY FINISHED

I was a member of Beaded Art Dolls when I started this doll. It was a challenge and buttons were to be used along with beads. I chose this Bendy doll form which is around 14 inches tall........bad choice as I never did get it finished in time for the competition. Anyway about 3 years later she is finished . I have spent hours here and there beading on her . I made her face from sculpy, painted it and then put a crackle finish on it. I think it gives it an aged look. Now that she is finished I think her weight went from a few ounces to 5 pounds with so many beads. I named her "Venus"....Godess of Beauty

HAPPY NEW YEAR

MERRY CHRISTMAS

wishing you a very

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a

HAPPY NEW YEAR...

Christmas Orders all done..SANTA'S WORKSHOP IS CLOSED!!

I'm sure you hear a big sigh of relief as I completed all my Christmas orders....
I love what I do but Christmas can be overwhelming trying to satisfy all my customers... I haven't learned the word "NO" yet!! VBG
Anyway I am done and now I can get at some house keeping and preparation for Xmas gifts and the dinner..
Here are some pictures of what I was working on.. Hope you enjoy seeing them..


This dolls title is "Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover" She hasn't told me her name yet!!
It is for a lady that has received one of my dolls every year for the last 8 years . This one is a bag lady out in the cold who has lost everything and relies on charity to keep going. I always write a story to go with each doll. (too long for here) but she got a chicken or at least so she thought.... Perhaps an egg or two would be a bonus,, however the chicken turned out to be a rooster.. hence no eggs!!! etc... She is obviously happy as she has a smile to share with those she meets..
I hope Karen likes her...

The sock monkey will be going to a wee boy. I knit the sweater and touque so he would be warm on a cold winter day!!!

The bag is quite large and ready to carry just about anything. I did the 6" log cabin blocks and used denim as a contrast. I had a couople of left over blocks so I used them inside for pockets. Also another large pocket to put things.

The pink ones are for cancer patients and represents love and hope.










MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY BLOGGING FRIENDS. I LOVE EACH ONE OF YOU AND ALWAYS FEEL SO HAPPY WHEN YOU STOP BY FOR A VISIT..

XOXOXOOXOXO

Santa's done!

These are the last two orders I had for the Santas.... ALL DONE!!!!

WHEW!!!!

The customer had given me some mink fur she wanted on the Santas... Not a nice thing to sew with the underhairs that are very fine and fly all over the place. anyway they are finished and I am very happy with them...Thought you might enjoy seeing them..

Santa's Elf At Work

I have been trying to catch up on my Xmas orders... I am so slow this year but now the crunch is on. I think I work better under pressure!!
Isn't this the cutest Santa!! He has been the favorite one this year.
Well I better go get busy I still have more to do.. and I think I hear Santa coming to see how I am doing!!!!!!

BEADED HEALING SPIRITS

I have been working on some commissions and here are a couple I have just finished.

These are healing spirits and come in different colors. There is a different meaning for each color.

The blue one represents a sense of calm, peace of mind and relaxation for the whole body.

The green one represents good luck, harmony and rejuvination.

It takes quite a long time to make the form, make the face and complete the beading, but I enjoy every minute...

The dolls are 3 1/2" wide by 5" long not counting the bead fringe.

I sell them for $30.00.

If anyone would like one email me at mag.rob@sympatico.ca with details

Thanks for looking
