I am very happy that Spring has arrived!

Soon it’ll be Summer and that is what she makes me think about.

Tomorrow I’m off to DC. I’m feeling just a little bit crazy?!!

and 3 more tiny worlds

These 3 are designs that rely heavily on the cup. The snow scene can’t be made on a flower cup, the barn needs a special look- kind of country?-, and the night tiny world needs a dark cup. Searching for just the right cup is so much fun.

I’m behind on my posting. Between being sick and some rainy weather, I have a back up of photos to post.

I have collected a terrific selection of tea cups over the winter. Lots of variety to choose from in my box-o-cups!

Blond Girl with Bows

Posted on April 17, 2019 by mimik

I got sick. Such bad timing because I had a million things on my list that I wanted to get finished before I leave for Washington DC next Monday. Instead I am moving at snail speed and hoping to get my voice back and stop coughing before I have to spend a week away from home. Sometimes life just happens, right?

This little girl got finished and photographed. Twice actually… I mean I thought I was finished, took photos and then decided I was not happy. I worked on her face, gave her new hair, and made some bows. Now I am happy!

Someone on my Facebook feed posted a photo of a group of kids and one of them had a cowlick. That is her hair inspiration.

Her dress is Liberty lawn- such a perfect party dress.

A Little Girl Time

Making the girl dolls is the opposite of the fish- the fish are a fun and fast project and take no time to finish once I’ve chosen colors and sewed them up. The girls take lots of time and so many decisions. It’s good to mix it up.

I bought that blue dress fabric to make myself a shirt (which I haven’t done yet), but she claimed it first! I think there is still enough left for me.

and 3 more fish.

Plaid fish,

Blue tweedy herringbone fish,

and a red fish with spots.

And here are ALL the fish! Hurray for Spring!

I’m working on upping my inventory for the DC show. It is a challenge (and actually impossible!) to anticipate what people will want and have an attractive selection of all the items I make. Yep, making myself crazy :-)
