STEAMPUNK MISS PRISSY & JACOB

Meet "STEAMPUNK" Miss Prissy.  I'm teaching Miss Prissy at All Dolls Are Art Conference in July.  I had lots and lots of fun creating "STEAMPUNK" Miss Prissy.  She was a LOT OF FUN to create.  Students will create their own Miss Prissy rather it be Steampunk, Silly, Scary, Pretty or Whatever. The SKY IS THE LIMIT when it comes to creating Miss Prissy.  I've made so many of them and each is different.  Going to make a M&M Miss Prissy to take to the conference also.  I will be taking several different Miss Prissy's so students can see how you can get different looks for Miss Prissy.   Click on the picture to see a larger picture of "STEAMPUNK" Miss Prissy.

He's so sweet.  God love him.

NEW LITTLE LADY DOLL IN THE WORKS

I have another Little Lady Doll in the works.  I said, I wasn't going to create anymore for awhile BUT she TOLD ME I HAD TO FINISH CREATING HER!!!  Well, she's well on her way being created.  She has a torso, 2 arms(she has long skinny fingers) and that's it for now.  She is going to have to wait for me to finish the sculpting of her head and legs. 

WHY???? Do we or I let these dolls tell me what to do???? LOL!  Yeah, I know it's coming within my head but their little voices get really LOUD sometimes. . LOL  NOPE I'm not crazy as most know when a Doll Wants To Be Created, It Wants To Be Created No Matter What You Do.   I also have been trying to put kits together.  Almost finished with them. WOOOHOOO!!!  Still have lots and lots more to get together before I leave for Austin the end of July.  Time really does fly by fast.  

Our Grandson Cain is flying here from Las Vegas in a few days.  He is staying a little over a month with us. WOOOOHOOOO!!! I can't wait to get and give hugs & kisses.  We have lots of family  here and one cousin is his age.  Cain was here last year for 2 weeks but he wanted to stay longer and we wanted him to stay longer. :-)  I'm EXCITED!!! 

 NOW IF THIS DOLL WOULD JUST LEAVE ME ALONE FOR AWHILE. :-)
I will start sculpting her legs and rest of her head this evening while watching TV with Hubby.  I did sculpt the front of her face yesterday so all I have to do is add the back of her skull and neck.  Guess that is what I will go do now. :-)  She WILL NOT GET DRESSED TOMORROW!!! NO MATTER WHAT SHE SAYS!!.  Have't named her yet NOR have I named the other three Little Ladies. OOOPS!  The one in the black dress has a name; her name is Christine after my Mother. 

OK, I'm saying Good Night.

Wasn't Feeling Good

I wasn't feeling good yesterday or today.  Was down with a migraine headache yesterday(took my pill and went to bed) and today my head still hurt a little.  I feel better this evening.  Those things put me right now.  Hurt, Can't See Right, etc.  First one I've had in a REAL LONG TIME!!  Had them since I was 16 years old. I get the bright flashing colored zig zag lines with the pain ones. I forget what they are called. Head still not working right. :-)  Gone years at a time without one.  Things just pile up on our body sometimes and that's what happens when you least expect one.(Stress, Foods, weather,etc can cause one). Thank goodness meds have come along way since I was 16.  KNOCKING ON WOOD HERE!!! This is the first one I've had in a really long time. Well over a year.   They are inherited. My Mama had them, some of my children have them and some of my grandchildren have them. Runs in our blood line.

That is why I have been quite for a day or so.
Now going to go back to the couch.  Don't like the bright light of the computer yet.
Love & Hugs

TODAY

Today so far I got up.

Went to Weight Watchers. Lost 1 lb. WOOOHOOO!!! It's ABOUT TIME!!!  Maybe I'm back on the right track.

Allergies are killing me. Not really killing, you know what I mean. :-)   Eyes itchy, watering, red, etc etc. YUCK!  OH, Can't forget the Yucky water pouches under the eyes.  I want to just scratch my eyes but I WON'T !

I sculpted a new doll face.  Have to sculpt the body for her.  Not sure when I will finish this one because I have lots of stuff to get ready for teaching at All Dolls Are Art Conference July26-29, 2012.   www.alldollart.com   CHECK IT OUT! Would love to see some of you at All Doll Art Conference.
Still time to sign up.   You Will Have Lots & Lots Of Fun!!!

I stopped and got a Starbucks Vanilla Latte after Weight Watchers.  That's my Breakfast. LOL LOL!!! OH! BUT IT'S SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!   I have to check and see how many points that is.  ROFL!! It's probably lots of points.  Maybe not anymore than my breakfast would have been. What do you think??? :-)   Any How The Vanilla Latte is SOOOOOO GOOD!  Puts a smile on my face :-)

TV is on and they keep saying something about Facebook but not sure what's going on.  Guess I should go check out my Facebook and see if anything is being said on Facebook.  I'm not sure if I really want to stay on Facebook.  They give out our information, etc etc.   I have to re-think about this.  Heck! Everyone has our information any how !!!!!    Type in your name in Google and you will find lots of stuff about yourself.  Even the Census puts our information out for people to purchase.  I found out that when I typed my name and was looking up my family history.  They have every address you lived at and how many times & whom you were married to.  Have your kids, etc etc etc etc..........  I was SURPRISED to see all of that. LOL LOL LOL!!! Better to Laugh Than Be Mad!! 
Whatever we do in life gets on the Internet. ROFL!!!  It's SAD BUT TRUE!!    Getting MAD doesn't do any good SOOOOOooooooooooo!! LAUGH    What got me was that other people could buy your information.  Not just business can buy your information, WE could buy any ones information. ???????????????  I don't think it's right at all.  I don't have anything to hide but I don't want a stranger  having my address unless I give it to them.   I GUESS ONE WOULD SAY THIS IS MY PET PIVE (not sure of the spelling LOL LOL!! Spellcheck didn't have this word or anything close to it. LOL !)  You know what I mean. :-)

Now I'm going to go finish packing Miss Prissy and Fairies kits.  Got a couple of patterns I have to finish drawing and typing instructions.  I REALLY have lots more but my list would be way too long. LOL  
EVERYONE HAVE A FUN DAY!! I AM!!
HUGS,

WORKING ON STUFF & ENJOYING THE WEEKEND

I'm working on kits for when I teach at All Dolls Are Art Conference the end of July.  Got lots of other stuff to create, dye, put together, etc etc etc.  Seems like it is taking me forever to get kits made. LOL LOL!!! It really just SEEMS LIKE IT'S TAKING FOREVER.  Just seems that way.  Now I'm ready to work on some other creations.  Waiting for my lace, paints and velvet to arrive.  My white lace supply is very low. My velvet supply is very low.  Out of some of my paints I use.  Everything should be here this week.  I should have ordered a few weeks ago but just let it slip by.  That's OK because I'm not ready for any of it yet.  Still have other things I'm getting together and creating. 

Still THINKING about creating some more little Lady Dolls.  Not sure yet.  Not sure if they would sell or not.  I probably will put them on my Etsy shop and/or Ebay later this year.  I have an Etsy Shop but there's nothing in it and hasn't been forever.  SOON it will have lots of stuff in it.  I say, It's About Time.  LOL LOL!!  This is when I wish there were 100 + of me.  Now that would work. :-)

We have LOTS & LOTS of Craft Shows here.  I have to start doing them again.

Just wanted to post and let everyone know what I'm STILL UP TO. 

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
Hugs
