Retro Annie?

Here's the first of my own Apple Dumpling Annie designs. I created her to sit on her own without completely losing the typical rag/cloth doll body style.

In keeping with my love of sweet yet bright fabrics I dove into my stash of fabrics and dressed her in a colorful little number and added some special detailing to her maryjanes.

I hope you enjoy her. Now back to the sketchpad, put on my brave hat and try out some sweet new faces too.

Hugs,

Everything's Pinks & Purples

My flowers seem to be all pinks and purples this year. Enjoy!

Apple Dumpling Annies

Let me introduce you to my latest little Annie....Apple Annie. Isn't she just the sweetest? I'm having so much fun making these little Annies that I've decided to call them...Apple Dumpling Annies and make a few to sell in my Etsy shop. I'm still working out my own design but they will be sweet, bright and just as fun as my little bears. So keep watching for my Annies...and BEARS!!

Happy Day!

Cherry Pie Anyone?

For my mom's best friend, CC...A little Cherry Pie!!! She's a thank you gift for recently taking such good care of my mom. I hope she likes her. If not...I'm stealing her dog, Stormy (a little tiny 7 month old black ball of fur)...HA!!!

Thanks De from BowlsNAnnies for the sweet little Annie pattern.

P.S. I'm STILL trying to put my blog back together. If you ever see me write about redoing my blog...SLAP me SILLY!!!

Happy Day!!!

Blog Issues

Please note...I'm obviously having blog issues today. While trying to play around with a new template which I ended up not really liking, I went to upload my saved old template and am now getting one of those silly little error messages. Of course, I can't find a thing about it in the "HELP" sections...some help, huh. I guess I'll try again later and see if I can upload my old template. GRRRRRRRRRR....I hate technology sometimes.

Have a great day!!!

Edit: I'm getting there but I've come to the conclusion that somehow blogger corrupted the original template whileuploading and I lost some of my widgets (or at least it said they were removing them for some unknown to me reason) but at least my 3-column format is back. Ttomorrow I will re-do what's missing (hi Susan who did my header if you are reading) and just play some more without messing with the actual template itself. I'm a danger to myself...really I am.

Nighty night.

Mini Martha

Many of you blog readers out there are probably familiar with Emily of The Black Apple and her lovely art and things that can be found on Etsy. I came across her blog some time ago and just thoroughly enjoy her whimiscal writings, drawings andcharming little dolls. She was featured on Martha Stewart awhile back and shared one of her doll patterns and I decided that I would probably never acquire my own Black Apple doll (they are in hot demand) so I made my own mini-version. Here she is in all her glory...an Apple Dumpling version of a Black Apple.

So...go check out Emily, The Black Apple!!!

Happy Spring Day,
