She is damaged but still beautiful

May 6, 2011

Carried this doll around with me for 37 years, shoved in this or that box.

In her first life she was a "telephone doll"

Now she is a "gift of time"

re-surfaced and re-dressed

perched on a candle stick

Her altered life will be lived in South Carolina, at my mothers house.
Returning home so to speak

c debe art

damage done

Sorry that I have been missing in action ..

I am well and working and when not creating art.. I am thinking about it anyway.

Been without internet, that was horrid.

Training my new boss, or actually re-training myself?  It is going to be fun fun fun!
old dog and new tricks... kwim?

I need to find the pictures of my latest stuff and post..

new art clock

My hubby was not impressed.  Nor am I, but I was in dire straits.  MUST keep that THUMB WARM!

The big wad of green is a sleeve cut off of a pull over, and a "MUFF" made out of a microwave-able heating pad thing... I make rice bag heating things...

Just know it WORKS...

Hubby said it looks like a duck..

Thumb Saver

Over the weekend I was desiring to craft, sew, draw, paint, clock, whatever.

Since my thumb wasn't going to work well I was looking at making a nice hand warmer, wrist warmer, thumb warmer... something

Cutting into some fleece pull overs to reconstruct was nice, making a pattern was nice, trying to make the thumb cover work it self into the wrist part... horrid...

Gently working the very thick fleece, one seam only, carefully feeding that plush material the 3 inches thru the feed dogs, under the presser foot.

No fancy stitching, a nice LONG stitch length...

It took more than an hour to figure out HOW to have the thumb attached to the blank blank blank wrist part...

Save me from thinking any more this week, my brain fried..

Pictures to follow.. maybe...
