Merry Christmas!

I am feeling a little bit like Cindy Lou Who this year as I watch everyone around me stress about getting everything just right, and I realize I may have gone a little overboard with my own preparations. "Isn't there more to Christmas than this?" keeps ringing in my head. And of course there is more to CHRISTmas than all of this hustle and bustle, but how do we ever change the commercialism mentality and get things back to simple? I want a simple Christmas where we celebrate the birth of Christ, and where we spend time enjoying our family, and everyone brings HANDMADE gifts to show how much they love each other!





But, since that isn't the case, I have created these angel gift card holders to bring some handmade loveliness to your Christmas gift giving. I haven't figured out how to make them available on here, so just email me at FrogstoFairyDust@cox.net, and I will send you the pattern piece for FREE.

Thanks for a wonderful year, and Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!

New Reindeer Pattern Released

Here is my newest Reindeer pattern. There aren't many reindeer patterns out there, so I wanted to create something simplistic that would fit in with primitive Christmas decor. I hope you like him. He is available in e-pattern and paper pattern form at http://www.patternmart.com/cms/view_pattern_details.php?id=9603.

Also, I have the sample doll available for purchase and will take a limited number of custom orders so email me at frogstofairydust@cox.net if interested. Reindeer is $28 plus shipping.

Set them on your table with a pumpkin or on a shelf or chair . . . . .your family/guests are going to LOVE that you decorated with these cute little pilgrims. They measure approximately 15 inches without hats. They are wearing handpainted clothing and hats. They have handpainted and handstitched faces. The price for the couple is $42 plus shipping. If you want to order them individually, the price is $24 per doll plus shipping. Thank you!

Thanksgiving Prairie Doll

My latest creation is this Thanksgiving prairie doll. She is approx. 15 inches from head to toe, and she's a real sweetheart. She is wearing a handpainted and distressed dress, apron and bonnet with lace trim. Her face is handpainted and stitched. She has an acorn bell around her neck. Her hair is my favorite part. It's a light brown wool that has a frizziness to it that is so charming. I know you are going to love this doll. She is $25 plus shipping. Custom orders also available for the same price.

BIRTHDAYS EVERYWHERE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL FATHER!

I have the best dad in the world. He's amazing and such an inspiration to me.

Last night was my adorable niece's birthday party. Paige turned one and had a lovely (cold) pumpkin patch party with friends and family. It's tradition to make dolls for the girls who are special to me on their birthdays so I created a dolly for Ms. Paige and felt inspired to paint blue eyes . . . see why? Isn't she a gorgeous little girl?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAIGEY!

NeW sKeLetOn DoLLy

Check out my new skeleton dolly! He will be up for auction on ebay soon. I have hated skeletons for as long as I can remember, so I challenged myself to create a skeleton doll that I would not mind having in my home. Here he is, and I hope you like him too.
