THE DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOLLMAKER


A beautiful day in Central Florida
80 degrees and the windows and doors open
surrounded by
dollies

2012 I seem to have a flow going
sculpture during the day
and sewing in the
evening

happy now that I have filled the soft sculpture void

with cute little rag dolls

WIP BJD

and thinking about a haircut for
Poppie

EARL THE ORANGE STEALER

I live off the back of a farm
an old orange grove, now no longer worked because of too many freezes
The cows roam freely
and eat whatever oranges they can reach off the trees
most only have some fruit at the top

but up near the fence one lone orange tree
was loaded with fruit

this big male cow crashed the fence and had a banquet
I yelled out to my husband
"Honey" there is a cow in the yard!
so off I went to find the farmer to corral his cow

with a little coaxing Earl got back on the right side of the fence
and the fence post was fixed

I guess it was yummy he cleaned off the tree
Pretty exciting stuff for a city girl like me
all these photos were taken with a zoom, no way was I getting that close to
Earl

TINY GLOWING PRINCESS

Another freezing night in Florida
brought more faeries to the
Inn on the Grove
to escape the frost and be cozy and warm
until the morning sunshine
beamed across the farmland

a tiny glowing Princess got comfortable on the velvet couch

while an Elfin Fae, waited to present her with a basket of
sweet wild flowers


on the upstairs balcony
birds tweeted a morning song

faeries wiped away the sleep and emerged into the warm sun



Tiny little Princess
is a 6 inch ball jointed doll
