Have missed the last couple of Tarts meetings. Had planned on going on Thursday but found out much too late it was on Saturday. called Jennifer about noon Sat to let her know I wouldn't make it. She thought I got lost! lost isn't the word for it I guess. Love your leaf man what a clever idea ! I have been up to my ears trying to get my sewing room somewhat organized, my son in law is coming to put in new windows ! First he has to be able to get to the window ! Since my sewing maching is in front of the window, I had to get in there and get things put away. Now I have to have a root canal on Thurs. Abcessed tooth UGH! not feeling all that great the last few days. Happy New Year ! , know I won't be seeing you before the holiday. Hi Mimi: Just dropped in to see what your working on now.

I was thinking about your question regarding 'recyclec' and 'reclaimed' and wanted to run the term, 'upcycled' by you. I recently read an article regarding upcycling and my understanding is that upcycling is when something is taken apart and used to create something new. I wonder if this applies to your dolls? Like Cara said, I wonder what the wikipedia says on this? :D Hi Mimi!

I call most of my work recycled, but now I wonder... maybe a visit to Wikipedia is in order.

They are all wonderful because of what it is doing to the environment, saving our resources step by step. Both fit with your dolls. Keep up the FANTASTIC work.

That tells your customers you have found a new use for vintage fabrics....by the way, your circus men are very, very sweet! I never make male dolls, and it is neat! I love how you used toile as 'tatoo' skin. Very clever! I love your blog.... Emily-Hootin Annies Hi Mimi…how about the term ‘repurposed’ fabrics?
