Sheila is Indigo

I finished this little doll today and renamed her Indigo.
I also finished her basket of veggies, complete now with tiny carrots.
She is listed in my shop.

Sheila - 30 Miniatures in 30 days

Today I nearly finished Sheila!  

Sheila has been working in the garden 

and she has a crocheted basket with corn and potatoes - 

tomorrow I'll add some carrots and take better photos. 

Sheila is dressed in a cute pair of jean overalls,

a mint green teeshirt,

and some Bratz boots.

Her hair is braided and tied with green bands.

30 Miniatures in 30 Days

I've promised myself to do more art this year. 

I'm having fun taking watercolor classes. 

The other thing I'm working on are miniatures for 

my Freckle Farm Dolls.

I wanted to add a little something with each doll

and when I priced miniatures I was shocked 

at the prices!

As usual, I said to myself, 

"Self!  You can do that!"

So I did.

Last month I made a miniature apple for Allie.

Allie is going to give the apple to her teacher!

I also made a miniature basket of eggs for another doll, Debbie.

She's a little farm girl who is most comfortable

in boots and overalls.

Yesterday I made a miniature Diary and pencil for Sandy,

my latest doll.  Here she is holding her Diary and pencil.

I also made Sandy's Mary Jane shoes, her skirt, and her knit top.

My goal this month is to learn more about working with polymer clay

and other materials to make dollhouse miniatures.

Soooo.... tomorrow I'll start my

"30 Miniatures in 30 Days" challenge.

Stay tuned!

Meet Sandy

Well, I finally made it to the California desert. I'm all moved in and will be here for the next year and a half, if all goes as expected.

Today I finished my first doll since settling in.  Her name is Sandy and she is a brown eyed beauty!

I have dressed Sandy in a hand-knitted sweater, a hand-sewn skirt, and hand-painted Mary Jane shoes.  Her hair is tied up in two pigtails.

I'm working on a sister-doll for Sandy, but have to make some shoe molds before I can finish her.
