Summer Blessings

Just got back from a wonderful time

at the Jersey shore....visiting my aunt and

playing with my grandson Dominic.

He had lots of fun running fast and yelling...loved the ocean too!

Summer Blessings will be up on Ebay tonight.

She has a new dress style...an underskirt panel just in the front section of her dress.

I also decided to hand stitch all her facial features....only her eyes are painted.

Every year I change her a little....once before I tried stitching her eye lashes but didn't like how they looked....this time I do!

Wishing all Summer Blessings!

God bless.

Ballerina Annie

Ballerina Annie is a new Annie.

I redesigned her body, arms, hands and legs.

She has little pointed feet, perfect for ballet shoes.

I tacked her elbows to bend her arms....

thinking of possibly added wire to her arms the next time I make her.

Anyway, I was inspired by the ballet fabric....

and I love to try different ideas for Annie and her dresses.

Hope you like her. She will be on Ebay Thursday.

Going to be on vacation next week at the Jersey shore

playing with my grandson, Dominic. Can't wait!

Also looking forward to visiting with my aunt who just celebrated 92 years.

Thanks for visiting.

God bless.

Salt Box Welcome

Two new Annies this week ~ please check them out on Ebay

Hope to have one more Annie for next week ~ then a week at the Jersey shore ~

the last two weeks have been crazy for me ~ my husband had surgery

and I had to move my office at work to a new location ~ I really need that week at the shore to play with my grandson, Dominic!

Happy Memorial Day!

In honor of our military men and women here is Life, Liberty, Happiness Annie.

I thank all who have served in the United States forces here and abroad.

May God bless you all.

Little Bumble Bee Annie will be up on Ebay this week.
A dear friend gave me this little bear in a bumble bee costume
so naturally I had to make an Annie.

Happy Memorial Day!
God bless, thanks for visiting.
