Contest Ending and Some Finished Projects, a Custom Ordered Rag doll and Easter Decor

Okay today ends the posting for the doll giveaway and I will be drawing a winner on Feb 15th the day after Valentine's Day.  I will post the winner on the 15th so be on the look out for your post!

I had another order for this one cute primitive rag doll and just had to share because I loved the fabric I used from a summer dress I had laying around!  This one is made with muslin for the body and a pink paisley fabric.  Instead of using bows I used button this time and thought it made her even more cute!

what I doing here is taking a margin container and turning it into Easter decor for around the home.  This is a no sew project that I will share late on with you all on how to make it

20 inch Rag Doll Meet Winnie Blue Skies

Hello to everyone! I have been busy working on a few projects and Winnie is one of them.  I took one of my bear patterns and converted it into a 20 inch rag cloth doll.  I used Osnaburg fabric for the body and stained it   lightly with my super sauce of coffee, cinnamon and vanilla.  I then created my own facial features and painted them in using oil based acrylics  The hair is a cotton/ wool blend yarn of various browns, reds in color and I have hand sew the yarn into the doll's head using a heavy quilting thread.  The dress was not stained and is a light weight cotton and I designed the pattern for the dress.  The shoes are a black felt from an old coat and there is a single bow tied in her hair.  I had a lot of fun changing the pattern from a bear into a doll it was simple to do and I think the doll Winnie Blue Skies came out very cute!

The Snow Storm in The Oregon Coastal Mountains

About a few days back I got to ride in the log truck and every now then I get to take winter pictures! So today I am sharing some winter pictures on the Oregon coast for 2013.  Some pictures were taken where normal cars can't or aren't allowed to go.  It was a beautiful day and I love that there was about 3 inches of snow that day because snow does not stay around long and so as I have been writing this the snow is now all gone! But it was wonderful while it lasted.

Nothing Butt Snowmen, my Latest Creations

I just had so much fun creating these small decor snowmen!  The design of them is so simple I just cut out some figure eights from quilting batting and filled them with fiber fill then I did some soft sculpting for their butts!  I also rolled them in some cinnamon and used a bit of powdered blush.   I have to go find some sticks for their arms and this will finish them.  The fabric for the dresses is cotton fabrics and I hot glued some floral picks onto them and I hand sewed the black small beads for eyes in doing some more sculpting and adding some black acrylic paint for the mouths and eye lashes.  One is about 6 inches and the other about 4 inches tall.  I did all the hand sewing with a heavy quilt thread and the same for sculpting the butts and facial features.  Oh yes I almost forgot, I added a bit of hot glue to the head decor or the pine needles because I thought it looked frozen, what do you think?

Holly cow it is nice again to be able to blog and upload pictures, I figured out the problem and it was explorer and my Norton security messing my computer up so I went and got Google Chrome and it's working just fine now so I can start posting away again.
