First dollies of 2011

I decided to relax over the weekend.  I had wanted to get right to work but asked myself when would I have a nice long weekend to celebrate a holiday again?  I mean, the next time off is Memorial Day.  So, I took a break.  I was invited by neighbors across the street to ring in the New Year.  It was very sweet of them, I went and had a ball.  The food was awesome.
    A relish dip of some sort with eggplant, onions, tomatoes; a roasted red pepper cheese; another herb cheese spread; mushrooms stuffed with chopped mushrooms and spinach; salad; bread, and rosemary herb bread; veggie and meat lasagna; spaghetti and huge meatballs; cookies, brownies, and tiramisu.  Of course, the vino and champagne when the clock struck midnight.  Good thing I lived across the street.

I didn't want to start off the new year by mentally berating myself for not doing anything.  I mean it's only day three.  So I cut myself some slack.  After watching movies for three days and seeing some extremely handsome men, I finished my first dolls of the year.


The Wandi Girls.  From left to right, Lexa, Wynn, and Cassa.


I just love this pattern and I have new clothing designs for them coming up.

 Wynn the Goth Girl.
 Cassa a Wandi Witch.
 Lexa, also a Wandi Witch and Cassa's BFF.


Is she sassy or what?


Cassa is a bit more demure.


Lexa is ready to have fun.  Or cast a spell on a termite.  They will be the first on my new Etsy shop.  That info will be posted very soon.  Cheers!

Wow, that herb cheese spread sounds incredible.

I love the Wandi Girls! I think I like Cassa the most, her dress is super cute. You are extremely talented. :) I used to make dolls and doll clothing for fun when I was a child.

Thanks Red Angel. One of the neighbors who cooked is going to help me with my reception spread for my one woman show in Oct. I'm drooling already.
