<br />
I realize that the popular thing out there is not blogs. However, I do love to write, take pictures, sew, create, do art work etc.<br />
<br />
This could be my dumping ground for it all.<br />

Well I can't really say "nobody", but a majority of those who used to, have abandoned their blogs, and post on Facebook now. I remember back in 2006-2007 it seemed as though EVERYBODY blogged and kept up with blogging. Now when I visit those same blogs, I see for the most part, people have stopped right around 2012. It's kind of sad actually. <br />
<br />
The blogs that I used to follow were those who made things such as; dolls, crafty stuff, art, experimented with food; DIY stuff etc. I really miss the doll making blogs the most, I learned so much from those.<br />
<br />
I had a blog back in 2006 till 2010 and I put everything on it, not just my doll making stuff either, I seriously put everything in there. I had quite a few followers and quite a few views. Since opening this blog I have had no views and no followers. Opening this blog isn't to get followers or views but it's to keep a running diary of my doll making adventures. Since I'm pretty much self taught, I like to look back on the projects I've made to see the progress over time. I mean I can't print out photos of my dolls every single time I make one, that's a lot of ink and time and space. It's so much easier this way.<br />
<br />
When I first opened this blog I was contemplating putting it "all" out there. I still may do that, I'm not sure. In the mean time I plan on keeping this blog open and I plan on continuing to post here, even if it's not all the time. For those who have abandoned their blogs, I guess it wasn't meant to be.

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a new one. She's not done (obviously) you can see pins in her hat and her sleeves need to be sewn. Anyways, this is what I've been working on today. She's got a lot of really cute detail going on. I don't know what to name her. Anyways, I promised myself that I would only make five of these dolls. In other words "Five Gypsies" in the Whimsical Gypsy Traveller Doll Series. When I finish them all I'll take a group shot. These were a joy to make, I don't think I've finished so many dolls this quickly before. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cloth dolls are so much easier to whip up then clay dolls are not only that, they are a lot less messy. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do have a W.I.P that I'm going to be working on next and she has a clay head. Thank God the head is done, I just need to put the rest of her hair on. She's the Little Red Riding Hood Doll that's been sitting there for awhile now. I promised myself I'd complete all my W.I.P's before working on more projects and that's what I'm doing right now. </span></span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09198310405744669294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897193961348440152.post-84231337374719863572014-07-02T23:20:00.001-07:002014-07-02T23:20:04.487-07:00Working on "Rosie" again. #3 in the Whimsical Gypsies Doll Series.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a previous posting I had stated that I finished "Rosie", well I kept looking at her and thought to myself that she was missing something. She really didn't have enough detail. So I cut open her shawl and sewed seam binding on it and made a tie on the front as you can see. I also added a collar with a button. I then made her sleeves puffy by sewing the thread in and pulling on it. I also added an apron. I almost feel like she's done, but she's not. I want to add some flowers on her hat and of course I have to add my personalized name tag on her butt, which is something I do with all my dolls. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyways, I know people don't read blogs that much anymore, but I write like people read mine. ha ha! It really does help me to keep track of what I'm doing in order to make sure I don't 1. Do something that doesn't work again, 2. learn to see what changes I need to make and master that and 3. To see how far I've come. In case these dolls happen to land in someone else's home, I can go back and reference them just by looking at this blog. Anyways, here's Rosie before</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> I got a whole basket of dolls waiting for me to give them some kind of theme and personality. I feel guilty. Poor things, just waiting, waiting on me. Not to mention the first photo with the dolls on the shelf. They totally need some serious attention, they've been there for so long that I can't tell you how long, a year? Maybe. Why do I do this?? I start, and stop, and start something different. I really got to catch up and have "NO W.I.P'S". I mean NONE. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I did notice though that I'm not the only dollmaker in the world who does this. I've looked at other people's blogs and noticed that other dollmakers do this too. Not only do some dollmakers do this, but a lot of crafters do this. They start and lose steam, and start something totally different. I saw this video of a lady who crafts all the time, she paints and makes jewelry etc etc. she said that she'll start something then not finish it for some reason and go back to it much much later on. It's almost like our brains are so crafty and so creative that we keep on coming up with new ideas constantly that our hands can't keep up. Yup that's it.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've got so many ideas, I can't keep up. I mean I'm not a factory for God sakes. I wish I could work a little bit faster but I can't, I just can't do it. I'm already putting off a whole bunch of other things to make dolls. I love making dolls so much that I forget about the world. I need to find the "balance bug" soon.</span></span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09198310405744669294noreply@blogger.com0Chino Valley, AZ 86323, USA34.7560002 -112.4053046000000234.338711700000005 -113.05075160000003 35.1732887 -111.75985760000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897193961348440152.post-38128423430683310132014-06-27T19:24:00.000-07:002014-06-27T19:24:02.992-07:00My newest doll "Rosie". <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;">I just finished another doll. Her name is "Rosie". I think the name is pretty fitting. Anyways, she stands 18" tall including her wooden base. She's another addition to my Whimsical Gypsy Traveller Doll series. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I posted this on FB and a lot of people really like her.

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've made five bodies and prepared five stands. Once these are done I plan on posting them on Etsy before I become too attached. That's one thing about being a doll-maker that's difficult; you become so attached to the dolls that you make that you don't want to give them up. They become like your babies. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm trying really hard to catch up on my current projects. I have a bunch of dolls and other things that I'm working on. I always start something, then I think of something else and I have to start making it. That's why I have so many unfinished projects going. I used to think I was the only person who did this, but when I read other people's blogs I realize almost everyone does this. I'm trying really hard not to start another project right now because I really need to complete the ones I have. Here's what I've got going on.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a Modern Mary Shrine. My husband cut the box out of wood. I decorated it with mixed media paints etc. I'm putting a door on the front, mosaic tiles on the inside, etc. </span></span></span><br />

As a matter a fact they have a horrible reputation. But I've always been someone who has moved around a lot in life and have lived out of a vehicle mostly in my 20's by choice. Some people used to call me a Gypsy because of that lifestyle. I did some research online about Gypsies and found some very interesting photos. this one in particular from the website called<a href="http://upforanything.net/gypsies-tramps-and-thieves-part-ii/" target="_blank"> "Up For Anything"</a></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Not a whole lot of glamor going on is there?? Well of course not, they were very poor. That's just the way it was and still sort of is for many gypsies these days.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyways, I decided to make a cute group of traveling gypsy dolls. This one below is the first one of the series. I really had no idea what I was going to do with this doll. I always have a plan on what kind of doll I'm going to be making, but it never, I mean it NEVER turns out the way I plan it to. I always change the doll to a completely different theme all together. I went online to find a cute Gypsy name for a girl. I have to say most of the names I found I didn't like and I couldn't pronounce. I did find the name "Freedom" which is supposed to be a name derived from England. So here she is so far.. </span></span></span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Freedom is an old Romani Gypsy name for a girl. I still need to add some beads and sew some parts. After that I'll be working on another one. I would like to make a group including men, children and babies. I'll be using light soft colors and sweet facial expressions.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I'm using vintage linens and laces that I picked up at my local thrift shop which supports the Human Society in Prescott Arizona. I also purchased sweaters for repurposing for doll clothes. I always get asked by the clerk behind the counter on what I plan on doing with sweaters during the summertime. And I always say, "I make doll clothes". They always tell say "Why don't you just use baby clothes?" Then I say "Because it's not the same, they won't fit right. Besides these clothes are like ultra mini adult clothes for adult type dolls not babies". I guess people won't understand unless they actually make dolls themselves. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Besides the Gypsy dolls. I came across a really great find online. I found an article about how to start writing "Morning Pages". A morning page is actually three pages of long hand writing that you do in the morning. You let out exactly what you are thinking before doing anything in the morning and this in turn helps you not carry around anger all day long. It also helps you figure out things that you have questions to. I like to write, I enjoy it but I never did that in the morning and just "let it all out" so to speak. There are a lot of people who have gotten great results in other areas of their life because of doing morning pages. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I grew up with 80's music all around me. Those were very sad times but being 40 years old now it just brings back happy times with myself and how music took pain away while I was in a secluded room all alone with just me and my thoughts. Although I was too young to really get this song at the time, it completely resonates with me now and how the world is so judgmental towards others.</span></span> <span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think that's why it's so hard for people to really be themselves because people are afraid of the judgement and rejection that society will put on them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wish we grew up in a world where people could be what they feel without fear of judgement. I think I would dress in Gypsy costumes daily just for the heck of it walk around bare foot and live in a little RV selling my artwork out of it. I don't know why that's so appealing but it is. I've always wanted to travel, see NY City and walk down the crazy streets that I've only seen on T.V. Then travel to the mountains and sit on a rock near a bubbling brook with my feet in the water just listening to the birds and other wildlife that might creep me out.The creepiness of not knowing what is out there just adds on the adrenaline rush. Curiosity might get me there someday.</span></span><br />

Just traveling around without a care in the world and nothing and nobody to worry about but yourself and your dog. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just love to dream of adventure from time to time :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This all makes me realize that if you want to do something in this life you can't wait on others to take the plunge with you and have the same desires as you, you just have to do it on your own and be brave about it. After all we only live one time and this life is short. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Anyways, enough about that. I wanted to come on here to not only talk about that, but my Etsy store, and my doll making adventures. I'm really trying to build up some stock before I reopen my store again. I would hate to just put a couple of things in there. I'd rather have a variety of things. I mean, I like shopping online at Etsy and seeing more than a few things in a store. It sort of gives me an idea of what type of artist the person is, that's if they sell art and not vintage items. I have a few dolls right now and some jewelry but I just need to make more before I feel comfortable putting anything in there. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm working on a "Traveling Gypsy doll series". As you can clearly see in this blog, it's the feeling that I'm getting right now "Traveling, moving, exploring, adventure, living on the edge so to speak", so why not make dolls to showcase those thoughts and feelings right? Isn't that what art work is? Self expression.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I guess that's all for now folks!!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few days ago I went online to try to see if I could find reviews on the best personal blenders. I found that many people on the website called "Myfitness Pal" really recommend the Nutribullet. Even compared to other blenders such as the Ninja, the Nutribullet still came out to have much better reviews. So I took the plunge and bought one.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PTIYLBKqzPc/U2SO3cftaPI/AAAAAAAAAhc/xgKpNSNDL_A/s1600/spin_prod_915452612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PTIYLBKqzPc/U2SO3cftaPI/AAAAAAAAAhc/xgKpNSNDL_A/s1600/spin_prod_915452612.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the exact one that I got from Walmart which set me back a little over $100. Not bad.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyways, I tried it out for the first time today. I really like it but it's going to take some getting used to because there is a certain way you work this thing. What I mean is there is a recipe book that states how you put the veggies and fruits in. I really didn't know that it was this way, I thought that it was just a blender and you can add whatever you want in any order. But unfortunately you have to put the food in a certain order. That's fine and all but again, I didn't expect that. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, here's my plan:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Breakfast: Detox smoothie </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lunch: Detox smoothie</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dinner: Anything sensible</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That doesn't look like a lot does it? I do plan on eating more than that, it's just going to be a variety daily so I don't get sick and tired of eating the same things over and over again. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My main reason for wanting to lose weight is because I'm about 40 pounds overweight and I managed to get type 2 diabetes because of it. Can't blame anyone but myself. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I'm putting forth both feet and taking a stand against obesity. I know this isn't going to be easy but I have to be honest with myself and do what I need to do in order to get healthy and take this weight off. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll update this blog often.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Love to myself Always,</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">This is true. "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."</span></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">It's a matter of taking action towards the things that you want in life. I think it takes a lot of hard work to get what you want but in the end it's all worth the blood, sweat and tears. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">Today I made a list of what I need to complete to put into my Etsy store. I just can't believe how long the list is. I have so many things I need to purchase in order to complete all of my projects to my liking. My significant other is a person who hurries though any and everything. When it comes to art and your craft, it has to be exactly the way you want it otherwise there is no point in doing it at all. I don't know that he understands that though :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">Anyways, the doll that I posted about in my previous post is a major trial and error project. I just recently repainted her face because the previous face was just too harsh. Here's what she looks like currently. Not so good of a shot, but you get the point.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"> She's obviously not done, I have so much more to go. But when she is done, I'll be happy as heck! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">I went to a thrift shop today and found a handmade doll that was not finished. I immediately fell in love. She has no hair but that is ok. Take a look at her.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Doesn't she have the most perfect face? Someone handmade this doll and embroidered her face. She is in perfect condition. The price tag says $3.99 but I got her for half off that which was $2 and then 25% off of that</span></span> <span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(because my significant other is a senior citizen!) so she came out to $1.50.</span></span> <span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">***WHOOP WHOOP**!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have to say that I have the worst face drawing skills. I have to go over and over what I draw till my doll is halfway decent. I love this embroidered look. I went online on Amazon.com and found a book called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1607055503/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3VF8S63CXGWRF&coliid=I2VOSF4XZ7WWIO" target="_blank">"Storybook Toys" </a>which shows how to embroider a doll face. I had to get it. I did however, find it cheaper on Ebay. I would love to know how to do this. Even though I typically work with clay, I would still work with cloth heads and do this because it is so so cute and perfect!</span></span> <span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who ever made this doll did a pretty darn good job on her. But she is getting "revamped" so to speak.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For some odd reason, I felt like I had to rescue her from the store! How strange it that? I mean, it's not like she is alive or anything. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm in a doll group on Facebook and a lady had posted that exact same question today, it went a little something like this; "Do any of you feel the need to rescue dolls from the thrift shop or garage sales?". How funny that she put that up there! Because I had just did that today for the very first time ever and I felt that way, like I had to rescue this doll! Oh my goodness, atleast I'm not the only one who feels this way. There are so many others who do. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An obsessive doll person I am. But it's not going out an buying them, it's making them. It feels so much like I'm giving them life. Oh my, how strange. Ha ha! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, anyways I thought I would put in a posting on this little blog of mine. It seems that people don't blog as much as they used too. Some people that I followed back in 2007-2012 don't blog anymore. Their blogs are like little ghost towns on the internet. Sad but true. Even if I don't ever get any followers on blogger, I'll still blog. It sets my mind free, after all I need to do that somewhere.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Until next time around,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Take care...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">W.I.P means "work in progress" by the way (just in case you didn't know) This is the garden dolly I've been working on, she's not done yet. So many more things to do.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used sharpie markers to draw out her face and just acrylic black paint for her hair. Notice how her arms have green and brown and blue? It's glimmer mist from Lindy's Stamp Gang. I wanted to give her nature colors since she's a girl in the garden. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She still needs pantaloons or maybe just maybe I'll make pants instead. I don't know yet. I might even add a little hat. Not sure. We'll see.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyways, quote of the day on FB</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's so hard to forget the past, but when I read this I realized that I don't have to forget it. I have to think of what I did and what has been done to me and I have to take a lesson from it. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In other words, instead of getting mad and holding a grudge just think of how you learned and what lesson you can get out of it. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One major example is the abuse I had to deal with as a child. This taught me a lesson. Don't trust anyone, even if they are relatives. I will not forget the past, but I have gained knowledge from it.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's really up to each and everyone of us what we want to do with our selves daily. We can be happy or sad. We can let our past dictate our future if we let it; or we can turn it all around and discover who we really are and what greatness we are capable of doing in this life. How we can help others and how we can help ourselves.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So far this is what she looks like. I have so much work to do on this doll. Not so happy with the mouth, kind of reminds me of thumbalina the frog lady and I don't want her to look like a frog. It's really not what I was going for.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have an idea of creating dolls that care for a garden, since it's summer and I'm getting my garden ready for planting, I just came up with an idea of little dolls that take care of the lizards, butterflies and bugs of all sorts in the garden. So, we'll see how this goes. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Anyways, on to another topic. I was reading this quote on FB. (I always read inspirational quotes because I think they are so cool) and it was this one.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A9c53SUlZqg/U1Tm6oFfJUI/AAAAAAAAAfY/zuBX_HvYttE/s1600/donotchasepeople3-2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A9c53SUlZqg/U1Tm6oFfJUI/AAAAAAAAAfY/zuBX_HvYttE/s1600/donotchasepeople3-2013.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I mean think about this. How many people actually "stay" in your life? When I think about my own life there are not too many who do unless they get what they want out of me and if they don't they leave. I have a really close friend who has never used me in any kind of way. I think God sent her to me because really I'm nothing special but she is and I really and truly trust her. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also came across this quote;</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2xePZMjOMSA/U1TqGVCek6I/AAAAAAAAAfk/GsByAB1PWWI/s1600/the-law-of-attraction-is-this-you-dont-attract-what-you-want.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2xePZMjOMSA/U1TqGVCek6I/AAAAAAAAAfk/GsByAB1PWWI/s1600/the-law-of-attraction-is-this-you-dont-attract-what-you-want.jpg" height="304" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> My God this is so true! I never really thought about it this way though so it hit me like a ton of bricks this morning.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year sometime I started watching videos on YouTube about "The Law of Attraction" and in every video, all the people who talked about The Law of Attraction would say; "You attract what you think of". Ok this makes sense but I think of things that I never attract and that's because I don't <u><i><b>act</b></i></u> upon those thoughts. If I become what I want then I'll attract what I want. I have to be <u><i><b>it</b></i></u> in order to attract it. Example is wanting to lose weight. I think about it, I want it but it's not going to come unless I become the person who acts on it.I have to be that woman who exercises and runs, I have to just be it otherwise it's just wasted wishes. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also came across this quote:</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z1uD-UlvjKg/U1TsF2Rw5jI/AAAAAAAAAfw/VdWpQQxHR7w/s1600/you-attract-what-you-focus-on-Gaynor-Parke-socialmeidamamma.com_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z1uD-UlvjKg/U1TsF2Rw5jI/AAAAAAAAAfw/VdWpQQxHR7w/s1600/you-attract-what-you-focus-on-Gaynor-Parke-socialmeidamamma.com_.jpg" height="320" width="282" /></a></div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This is also very true. I think we all have to be so careful what we focus on and where we put our energy. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being human we can easily fall into temptation and make mistakes, but I think that's good because then we learn what we should and shouldn't do. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made a huge mistake today and replied to someone online who replied to a comment that I made about a post. This guy was hateful and I just gave it right back in a smart ass kind of way. I should've just ignored him because I think I really hurt his feelings. Even though he was a jerk, I'm sure he has feelings too. Next time I'm not doing that, I'm going to ignore anyone who does that to me. It's not worth my time, my energy, my happiness and most certainly not worth hurting someone else even if their intent is to hurt me. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's all I got.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm working on a new doll pattern. I have never in my life made a doll pattern to sell. I only make them for myself and even then I only use them one time. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So far, lots of trial and error with sizing. I've done my homework and I know how to draft out an entire pattern from scratch. Hopefully I can get this done by the end of April.</span></span><br />

Whether they are good or bad I firmly believe they exist. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last night around 11P.M I took my dog Woody outside so he could do what he needed to do. I happen to have my camera with me because I was taking photos of some of my dolls last night in my craft room. So while I was outside I took photos just for fun and noticed right away that there were orbs. I thought my lens was probably dirty so I cleaned it and it wasn't my lens at all. The orbs continued to move as I was taking pictures.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's my dog MingMing wishing you a Happy Easter this year!</span></span> </div>
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My significant other got me a cute Easter card this year as he always does. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We sat down and talked about all the old memories of Easter and what we both did back in the day when we were not together. He was telling me about how he had always had a lot of family and friends around, it was a big deal for him. For me, not so much. My parents didn't bother with it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I think about it now, I think of God and how he has risen. It is a big deal.</span></span> <span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I watch these programs on the Discovery channel and History channel about Jesus and His life and I cry. It literally gives me goose bumps to think of it so deeply. So, today I'm thinking of God and all the things I have gone through that I feel He has helped me out of. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't say "Thank You" enough to God. He has a plan for sure. He has a plan for all of us.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've been contemplating putting this information up on my dollmaking blog because it has nothing to do with doll making, but hey I'm human and there are so many more aspects to me than just doll making. So, I've made up my mind and I've decided to put up my weightloss journey as well. It's important to me and it's a huge part of my life. I mean why not? I know I'm not the only one going through this issue and maybe someone out there can relate to me..</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've been on a weightloss journey on and off for years. I lose weight, reach my goal only to gain it back again. I've got a major problem. The problem is binge eating disorder. If you've ever watched "Secret Eaters" on YouTube the people who are on those episodes are just like me. I'm someone who hides food and hides in places to eat massive amounts of food. Not really sure why I self sabotage but I do. I keep telling myself, "this has got to end" but it doesn't end. I start on a great path only to turn around and sabotage myself once again. So, what am I going to do about it? Read on..</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><i>Changes </i></u></span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm 40 years old now and I've noticed that certain foods make me sick. The foods that make me sick never made me sick before. For instance, if I eat cheese or drink cow's milk I get major digestive issues. Sure, I could be lactose intolerant but there are other foods that have no dairy in them that do the exact same thing plus more. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><i><b>POISONOUS FOODS LIST </b></i></u></span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">These are just a few foods that make me super sick and I have to mention these foods because I don't think it's just me with this issue, I bet there are others out there with the same exact problem with these foods. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The first food is anything from the Special K brand. This includes but not limited to; Special K protein bars, Special K breakfast sandwiches, Special K cereals etc. Special k has the longest ingredient list I have ever seen in my entire life. It's pure poison and it's no wonder why I got sick eating that shit. The symptoms that I had were major diarrhea, stomach aches and nausea. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The second is corn chips and potato chips. I used to eat these like crazy when I was younger but now they make me sick. I'm sure it's also due to the ingredients. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The third is anything with vegetable oil in it. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The fourth is almost ANYTHING processed. What I mean by processed is food that has been created by man in a lab coat. I don't mean rice or beans that have been through a food plant, washed dried and put into a bag. That's not processed to me. There IS A DIFFERENCE. Anything that has multiple ingredients and chemicals is pure and utter shit. It hurts me physically and I don't need to keep doing it to myself. </span></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br /><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> So, I made some super serious changes lately that involve getting rid of almost all the processed food out of my diet. Yes, I'm a little bit miserable because I'm not used to eating so healthy but I'm sure I'll get used to it after awhile. I also started running again. I haven't ran since I was 18 years old. Granted, I can't run that far but I don't give up I keep going. My goal is to run one full mile without stopping. I'm sure I'll reach that goal. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, what do I binge on now??</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's true. I roast vegetables during the day and eat them when I want to binge. Also, I'll grab fruit as well, that's if I have a sweet tooth. More times than not the vegetables are enough. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The veggies that I have here are:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">little potatoes</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">green beans</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">baby carrots</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">red bell pepper</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">califlower</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">olive oil (2 tablespoons)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1/2 cup water </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">garlic salt</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">pepper</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Roast at 425 for 30 min. with aluminum foil over top sealed tight. Take off the foil and then roast for about 25-30 min. more.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's all for today. Will upload before and after pics later.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, what is a dolly chain? I had this cray cray idea to incorporate crystals with some dolls. What I mean by crystals is actual stones with metaphysical properties from the earth such as rose quartz, black tourmaline, tiger's eye, so on and so forth. I wanted to make dolls for healing purposes. I posted these dolls before, but I finally finished the chains on them.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Granted these photos don't do justice. They are so much cuter and nicer in person. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The doll with the polka dot dress has black tourmaline, rose quartz and tiger's eye. I created her to help with grounding and to protect against negativity. The tiger's eye helps with focus and the rose quartz is to open the heart to love others as well as yourself. The doll with the striped dress has rose quartz, clear quartz and other misc beads for color. I created her to help with loving yourself and loving others, learning to have fun and not take things so seriously all the time. We only live one time, may as well let loose and enjoy!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, they are done and soon I'll be putting them up in my Etsy shop.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Till next time,</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09198310405744669294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897193961348440152.post-57489941565817863452014-04-20T00:46:00.002-07:002014-04-20T00:46:29.097-07:00My favorite dollmaker of all time and other tid bits of my WIP'S<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The not so personal diary of a dollmaker..</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My thoughts for today.. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My favorite dollmaker of all time is <u><i><b>Nancy Latham</b></i></u></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/HxY2HFAIBcs?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I first found her on YouTube quite a few years ago because I was searching for "handmade dolls" so I could see what others make and how they make their dolls. So I came across Nancy's videos and to this day, I STILL watch them from time to time. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love the fact that Nancy uses so many different colors and her mind just goes completely wild when she creates dolls. She has no fear. What really surprised me is that she's not afraid to reach deep down and create with her darker side. Now that is a FEARLESS woman! (not to mention the creepy music she adds to her videos.. nice touch!) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyways, I try to emulate the trait of being fearless because there are times I say "no, I shouldn't do that because people might think I'm crazy or weird."But quite honestly, who gives a damn what others think and say, I don't make dolls to appease anyone, I do it so I can be creative and "go wild" so to speak. If I don't do what I want when I make dolls then what is the point??</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I think people worry too much about conforming to society and the way that society thinks. If we just follow our passion and desires to do what we want without giving a damn what others think then I think we then find our true selfs and we also find true happiness. I remember a time when I was told what I should and should not be doing with my life. I listened and I was miserable. I understand that there are times when you have to do what you have to do to pay bills and live, but that doesn't mean give up what makes you YOU and what makes you the happiest. There has to be time for that. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, anyways before I continue on with more rambling. I wanted to show a couple of projects I've been working on. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The first thing that I've been working on is a shrine. It's supposed to be a place to pray and store your rosary. I went to the thrift shop and found this a couple of months ago. Someone hand carved this..</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is about 18 inches tall. I found it at a Goodwill and automatically thought of Immaculate Conception Mary, Mother Mary, The Virgin Mary.. etc etc. I don't know if the person who carved this had that idea or not but that is who I thought of immediately. So, I bought it and took her home to paint. Now she looks like this..</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihqhk8jFG2Oej8w4YTJBoORpe-Gnm2Q_IcsHLBiBJEUOW5X5p_YehcJemaChWGZJpwQLpy5ydVcNyfPsM4pVHJmTNoTK4OcLTfSClWr4Y643HNNSeZ1tOjgghAp3bYDFEv8kzFL_ci4Fg/s1600/IMG_2108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihqhk8jFG2Oej8w4YTJBoORpe-Gnm2Q_IcsHLBiBJEUOW5X5p_YehcJemaChWGZJpwQLpy5ydVcNyfPsM4pVHJmTNoTK4OcLTfSClWr4Y643HNNSeZ1tOjgghAp3bYDFEv8kzFL_ci4Fg/s1600/IMG_2108.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I read this story about Saint Bernadette at the Gratto and how she saw "Mary". Mary told her "I'm the Immaculate Conception". Saint Bernadette also reported that she saw a yellow rose on each foot. This story inspired me to make a shrine or rosary/prayer box. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I had my significant other go to Homedepot to buy wood and make a box. This is a total mess right now but this is as far as I have gotten.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once it's all done; all will be revealed. What a mess.. look at my steam cleaner in the back! ha ha! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The next project is a doll that I originally wanted to make as an heirloom doll. I went to a thrift shop in downtown Prescott Arizona and found some vintage linens which included handkerchiefs and some cute lacy table doilies that you put on a table. There was a pack of them. I thought I could use them to make an old vintage looking doll. So I started creating that then I changed my mind because I was watching "Little Red Riding Hood" on the SYFY channel. I thought, why don't I just make her instead.. she's do much cuter; I mean seriously, the cape and long hair the basket of food she takes to her Grandma's house etc.. This is what she looks like so far..</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have so much work to do on this and this is not a very good picture nor is it a good angle. I had to leave it like this because her head is drying..</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The bust part is a very small vintage pillow case that I just stuffed and sewed closed, the skirt are some linens that are shaped like place mats for a dining room table. There's some old vintage lace that I got from an estate sale. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I went to a thrift shop today and found some perfect red fabric to make her cape with. It's just an old curtain panel but it's going to be perfect for the cape. I'm thinking blonde hair and blue eyes too.. It just looks more innocent that way, however I could change my mind.. as I always do.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Is Doll Making easy?? It really isn't easy because it takes a lot of thought, concentration, trial and error etc etc. I think people know that though. Everytime I show my work to someone they always say "That looks really hard to do". It's not like climbing up a steep mountain, or studying for a test it's just a lot of thought and concentration on what you are doing. You have to keep changing things as you go along, even if you sketch it out there's always changes. </span></span></span><br />
