Reborn Doll Kit Came!

Hello again!

The kit I posted a couple days ago, came in the mail yesterday. I am so eager to start it, but with the weather crappy my daughters are stuck inside most of the day, with me. I find it difficult to struggle with a craft with an audience. So, I'll be working on the doll after school vacation id over, the weather brightens and when I can sit out in the screened porch.

Another exciting thing; we found the cutest crib that was available for free. Great shape but not as sturdy as the cribs they make now and probably wouldn't pass code. But, a reborn baby won't mind! It's in the garage for now, but when I have finished a decent doll and take pics for sale, I will definitely use the crib, along with the beautiful cradle my neighbor gave me and the adorable satellite baby chair!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great day (or night)!

Another Song Stuck In My Head

And I don't know the title and can't remember a good phrase to google! OMG, I hate that.

Aaarg! This Is The Year We Stay Home

This coming week is school vacation week and go figure, after months of drought we are going to have rain most of the week. Supposed to discover our own backyard and do the New England thing!

Hello again!

Can't believe how busy I am! Big test next week, in psychology. After that, we have a quiz and then the year is over!!! How quickly it went. I can remember the first day of classes.

Have a reborn kit waiting for me and another on it's way. I miss working on the dolls. Can't believe how quickly I became hooked. Watching as their little features become emphasized with the paints. It seems like it's an easy craft but really it isn't. To apply the paint JUST RIGHT is so hard; too thin and the vinyl shows through with such shine. Apply the paint too thick and not only does it turn out chalky, the paint also rubs off. Getting the mottling just right over the veining and painting those tiny little fingernails and toes is a challenge for old eyes! But, once the doll is done and all dressed, it's all worth it.

Promise to take some pics of the head when done but here's a picture of the blank head.

Wish me luck!

Thank you everyone for all your interest in me and all the things I've been exploring.

No Sale, But That's OK

Hi all. I didn't sell the doll but I am glad I tried. I am also glad I didn't sell it because I think I should experiment and learn a little more, before I send a doll home to a new mommy. Oh well. Here's to more efforts and another try again, sometime.
