What a doll!


Winona has flown right off of the canvas! I really enjoyed creating her and hope she does well over at the Pfatt Marketplace. She'll be there on the 10th...along with her "flat" version.




She's about 8" tall and has a button and hemp loop on her back for hanging. I'll need to take a picture of that too. I think her back is nearly as pretty as her front.

Speaking of pretty. Look at my wisteria!
This is the first year that it has put on such a lovely display for us.

She is just so adorable! I love her in doll form! Did you paint her with gesso first? I am learning alot about this whole painted doll thing. I love her little feet hanging down too.

She is soooo sweet! I don't know which one I like better. Dolls are so much fun, aren't they? It makes a nice change.

Being from just outside Philadelphia, I'm sorry I can't root for the Penguins:) Boo!

Diane, Saturday is my birthday and I just need to get first dibs on this one. I love this doll. :) Do you post it Saturday? I am not sure how the Pfatt Marketplace works. I really do love the dolls you are making. They are adorable. I will definitely be checking back Saturday. Have a great week!

She's adorable Di! Well done on yet another beautiful creation! I Love her! Love the Wisteria too. Todd cut ours down! (I coulda killed him) He thought it was a nuisance because all it did was leave and get in between the gutters and the house, last year we had ONE bloom, that's all. I miss it though. The blackbirds loved building their nests in it.

Winona is adorable...cute as a button.

Your wisteria is gorgeous. I started some from seed last year. It was a "I wonder if I can do this..." All 12 seeds started and are growing happily in their pots...I gave them 9 away to friends/family. Who knew...

Happy Day!!!
