STILL WORKING ON DOLLS!!! AND LIFE IN GENERAL!!

I got a little doll sculpted but not painted or dressed yet.  Got a couple of birds sculpted and almost finished. Sewing up body parts this evening.  Tomorrow going to Weight Watchers (mmmmm! don't know if I want to get on the scales!!) LOL LOL!!  I was a little bit bad this week.  Got to stop eating out and bringing good stuff in the house. MY WILL POWER IS NOT GOOD RIGHT NOW!  I say Life hands you a Lemon EAT Sugar.  I know that is bad to eat sugar. LOL  I WILL BE GOOD!!
Got to get off here and start supper. Hubby will be home soon.  Having Turkey but NOT all the trimmings that go with it.  Will have a veggie salad, baked potatoe and green beans.  That's a good WW meal. 
Everyone Have A Creative Day! or Night!

SOON IT WILL BE MIDNIGHT

MIDNIGHT WALK


It's 2 1/2 hours before Midnight.  Hopefully I will be in bed by then. LOL!! I'm trying to get some work finished on a doll but not sure if it's going to happen or not tonight.  My eyes are already getting heavy.  Nope caffeine won't help.  Caffeine doesn't keep me awake.  Never has and probably never will. 
Got a body cooking in the oven. NOW NOW!! Don't get excited.....It's a clay doll body.  I was watching TV with my Hubby and I was sculpting a little doll body.  Just the torso.  Still have to sculpt arms, legs and head.  I have to stop at Michael's tomorrow and get some supplies I need to finish her.
SUPPOSE TO RAIN ALL DAY TOMORROW.  I HOPE NOT!!   Going to a friends house for a Play Day.  Several of us get together and work on our dolls or whatever else we want to work on.  We have a great time.  Not sure what I'm taking to work on yet.  Maybe I'll take a cloth body to stuff with fiberfill, some decorative papers, modpodge and other stuff to finish her with.  She'll have a clay face with cloth over. Color in face features, etc.  Don't think I'll finish her but will get a good start on her.  She will be a doll for Teaching Proposal unless I change my mind about teaching her. Although she would be a great doll to teach.  I sold one similar to her for $250 a couple  of years ago. I won't be selling this doll or her pattern because she will be a doll that I will teach from time to time.   See I told you I was tried.  I keep rattling on and on.  OK it's time for me to get off here and go get the doll body out of the oven.  I just heard the timer go off. 
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT TIME CREATING!
HUGS,

MAMMY

Meet "MAMMY"  I made her after my Mammy (grandmother).  We called her Mammy.  I made her dress, slip, hat, purse, glasses and shoes like ones she really wore. She looks like she did.  I love and miss her.  She's been gone for 24 years.  I still remember and hang on to lots and lots of memories.  She taught me how to make paper dolls, crochet and lots of other things.

PICTURES COMING SOON

I will be putting on some new pictures soon.  Right now I'm working on lots of different creations.  Probably too many at one time.  BUT THAT'S ME. :-)   I don't think I could work on one thing at a time and finish it from beginning to end without starting something else while working on another.  I just have to work on 2 or more things at once.  ALTHOUGH! I think I will try working on one doll and finish it before starting another. We shall see how that WORKS OUT! LOL LOL   Gotta laugh at myself sometimes. :-) :-)  BUT I'm sure most of you know what I mean.
Now Back to creating. :-)

ART DOLL - MIDNIGHT WALK

"MIDNIGHT WALK"
She's one in many of my Series of "THE ART DOLL"
I will be teaching these dolls.  They are Lots of Fun to make.




I tried putting her on facebook BUT she went on side ways.  I think I figured out how I got her to go on standing straight up.  Now I will go on Facebook and try posting her there again and see if she's standing Straight Up.  :-)
