A little of this and a little of that..catch up post

Let's see where i left off....oh yeah..the room...this is as far as i got....it is nice and bright and clean..yay! Then i had a bad episode of ADD...(Artist Distractive Disorder) and started to play with dolls....

I have fallen in love with Blythe dolls....oh my! and am getting one very soon...in the meantime i have been getting ready....I had Ashton help me drag up the Barbie house from the basement along with all the tubs of clothes and furniture....cleaned it all up and sorted through the clothing...Blyhte dolls' bodies are the same size as skipper dolls..
here you see my we sonny angels coming to get a closer look of this monstrosity....if you want to see the whole story go to my flickr site..just setting that story up was fun.....This is called play therapy..been needing it lately....after this post i do have to get some domestic duties done and work on the house..it is awreck after the weekend...and a pile of boys running in and out...dirt, mud, clothes...you name it it's on the floor..
so I also in preparation and excitement have decided to play making clothes! This is a skipper doll modeling...so i couldn't post her on the blythe site..therefore the disguise...i am making 3 of each outfit....one for me and two to sell....this one is the first finished so far...i have 3 dresses finished too..but want to make her accessories before i post a picture....
detail of thermal undies..has elastic at the top....
felt monkey dolls for her to go to bed with....about 1 3/4" tall
Another project i have worked on is this mini book...I used the diecuts for the mini albums from my Father Knows Best paper lines and created a book about Oscar....to readthe whole story go visit the Creative Therapy blog to see what it is all about~ I am on their design team along with many other very creative women! Please come play with us!!! I plan on putting a permanent banner on the side bar here soon...




So for now that is what i have been up to....been playing and enjoying a reprieve from crazy busy..and hope it lasts a while longer...i have been so needing this....see ya next time..hopefully with pictures of the mural...need to work on that this week...am looking forward to it!

Angela, I'm catching up with blogs, and you've been busy. Love what you're doing with the room, and the Oscar books is cool.
