NEWS FLASH....Last Saturday, November 7th was so much fun, we're doing it again! No, my shop at home will not be open, but I'm hauling a trailer load into town and joining Connie and friends at "That Extra Touch" show at the Sawmill Inn... I'll be there from 8 am to 4 pm...Stop by to check it out, I've found some goodies on my recent dash over to Alex...and today in my workshop some new things were finished...This last week I made a oddles of ornaments as well as my Ladies on the left. Don't they look like perfect little angels? So, to introduce them, from left to right, front row, Lilah, Angel of Lady Bugs and other surveillance devices, and Liona, Angel of all Ladies in Waiting. Back Row, Lavonne, the Lady of the House, Angel of Household Leadership Skills, and Lillian, Angel of Refined Ladies. They are quite the bunch! The 5th angel I worked on this week came into my life in a rather surprising way. Last September I received a phone call from one of my customers. She was cleaning out her mother's attic and found a little trunk filled with vintage baby dresses and wanted to know if I'd be interested in them. Would I! So we struck up a deal to use one of the dresses and I'd make a doll for her. I had 3 things to help create the doll, in addition to observing that she had dark hair and dark eyes. 1) Her nick name is Rainy; 2) She is a deli lady and sells cheese and 3) She just won a blue ribbon at the Itasca County Fair for an apron she made. I promised to have it completed by November 7th. So, here I am the morning of November 6th, the doll is made, but I still needed to sew on her wings, add her halo and bell AND decide on her angel specialty for her tag.....hummm, so this is what I came up with... "Rainydaze, Angel of all Deli Ladies, Showering the World with Cheese and Undisputed Champion Apron Creator" I think she'll like it!
