More Minions

I thought my voodoo doll pins were just the cutest so I'm making more. Soon I'll have an army. Bwahhahaha!


The ones with the striped legs are the last of the voodoo dolls and the light ones are going to be goth voodoo dolls. Black, white, and red. I have so many wicked ideas floating through my head. The first group were fun to do, this group, oh my!  So stay tuned.

Hop To It

I finally finished Hop To It block number three. I know, they were out of order. The previous one was block four. But I've caught up. So enjoy.

Wandi Mermaids

Hello dearies. I've gone from the beach into the sea. Finally, I cut out and sewed some mermaids. No longer will I be doing more than four of these Wandi dolls at a time. This group will be the first to be excessively beaded. I don't know if I like the tail or not at the moment, but we'll see how I feel about it after they're stuffed.



This is wonderful upholstery trim that I use for hair. Love the stuff and I get it when and where I can find it. I know exactly how many heads I can dress with one yard. The bits that fall off are collected for my mom and her projects.


I like purple a lot these days, along with the stripes. I'm still working on a design for the dolls that will wear those beautiful stripes.


The blue is pretty cool too. Very sea like.


Some of these fabrics you've seen before. They will be goth voodoo doll pins. That is a mouthful, but that's what they're going to be. They'll be cut out this week. Probably nine of them. I like combinations of three.

Wandi Beach Gals

I am cruising right along. Sort of. I'm still a little bit behind. Oh, that thing called life. When it throws bottles at you you just have to duck. I finished these little beauties I started a while ago. Some time ago, I can't even remember when. Say hello to them. They are having fun on a beach somewhere.


Their tote bags contain a towel, flip flops, and sunglasses. The books and magazines are hiding inside. That's the illusion I want to give.





This is Beryl.


Say hello to Bette.


Bonnie is really cute.


Brie is ready to enjoy the sand.


I made their flip flops out of craft foam and ribbon. They were fun to do.

Hop To It -4

This is the latest block for my Hop To It quilt. Yes, I got the number right, it's out of order. I'm still working on block three. LOL Block four was a lot easier to applique. But I will have three done in the next couple of days and then cut out the pieces to block five.

Pirate Postcard

I found some pretty cool stickers at the store and made a postcard for a card person in Russia. We both love pirates. And yes, they are clamoring for me to make some. I'm working on it, them, really, I am.

Tin Pincushion

Had my applique workshop for the month and again, had a blast. We had a small project to work on and we made this tin pincushion. My teacher found the petit four tins on Ebay, the white part and flowers are out of wool and there are pearl cotton French knots in the center. I love make it and take it projects because some of my other work can take awhile to finish.








I think I'll use this one for my applique needles. I love pincushions. I'd also like to welcome Golden Eagle to the party. You can find her at www.thegoldeneaglesblog.blogspot.com

Whoa!

 Okay, wow, geesh!  This year, this crazy year is going by so fast. A lot of stuff have been happening and I'm treading water. I'm h...
