I did it!

 

I finally did it! I finally have a blog! :)

I guess I should start off by telling you a little about myself....I live in Alabama! I have lived here all of my life except one year. (I try to forget that year!) I never want to live anywhere else, unless I could move closer to my Momma & Daddy. Even though I'm only ½ hour away, its still too far! I'm married with no kids, but a house full of kitties. Every time I say I can't have another cat, another one comes along and adopts me! Here's the latest addition to my family, Pumpkin. My cats are always getting into some kind of mischief. For example, tonight I was working on some paperclay designs. I happened to notice a lot of commotion out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and Pumpkin's tail was in flames!! I screamed, which scared him more, he ran and the fire went out. Apparently he just got his tail too close to the fireplace!! It scared me a lot more than it did him and I will probably have nightmares about my cats being on fire now!

I'm sure you will hear more about my cats' adventures later on....when I'm not putting out fires and feeding my cats, I design dolls & patterns and website graphics. Sometimes I paint, make jewelry, purses or other stuff. But mostly I design dolls & patterns. Right now I'm getting ready for Cottontail Village in March (in Birmingham, AL) so I have cloth dolls, paper mache heads and figures all over the place!! (As usual, half of the paper mache heads end up being moons!) I just finished a new doll from a pattern by elinor peace bailey ....isn't she a hoot??? I rarely get time to use other designers' patterns. I want to do more of elinor's!

I guess that is enough about me for now....I will try to list some free tutorials or patterns soon and share some sneak peeks of some of my new designs!

'Bye for now!
