a little Marie for you

here's a Marie doll i did; altering a cloth rag doll i picked up. i changed her hair and added all these fabulous old doll clothes. her skirt is so fluffy i can barely sit her down. she's very elegant in her royal jewelry and vintage tiara. i'm going to try and make my own rag doll from scratch as i think this would be a fun class to teach.

off for more holiday open house at Summerhouse!

black friday continued!

Today was black friday open house at Summerhouse. it was a fun day. lots of festive wares to look at, yummy red velvet cupcakes, hot apple cider and more. weather wise, the day started off pretty nice. then later, it turned a bitter cold with a nasty wind whipping through the town. Brrrrrr! But Santa stopped by for the tree lighting ceremony, we saw elves and fairies, a beautiful horse pulling a lighted buggy and lots of participants wearing Santa hats. My girlfriend Jane, her daughter Claudia and sister stopped by for a hello and some shopping. Also my friend, Marlene, came in, good to see her again. Thanks for the support ladies!
