Listing New Art Dolls Today ~ Stay Tuned

Pin It Today is listing day @ http://www.artsycraftsyfolks.com
I will be listing fantastic pioneer dolls from Louise Chisholm. This series is fantastic, all the clothes are created authentic to the period, some in 1750 and some in 1850. All OOAK, Here is a sample:

I will also be listing some bird houses, also created by Louise Chisholm. These are fantastic. The buttons are sewn on wood. Incredible. Here is a sample:

And then, after I get my listing done.;) I plan on making a painted ACEO ATC, and then working on a new doll pattern I thought of while I was sleeping last night.;)

Busy Busy Busy day as usual. Stay tuned.....
P.S Anyone know of any Facebook groups where artists gather and chat?? If so, please let me know.

Happy Easter ~ Egg Hunt & Thoughts of Spring

Pin It Happy Easter!
My morning has been filled with the giggling of 3 boys looking for treats and easter eggs hid everywhere! Usually after this annual event, for about 2-3 months once in awhile we will find a forgotten egg here or there, that was hidden so well it couldn't be found. lol I already see some the kids have missed! They all got a new pair of spring sneakers, which may not seem exciting for most, but they were eggstatic! ;) They were especially pleased that they didn't have laces are were all slip on sneakers! Even my 10 year old still struggles with those annoying laces!
And now, with Easter weekend almost over I am thinking about SPRING! I doodled up some designs for primitive daisy ornies last night, and hopefully will get some created this week. Still doodling up some ACEO designs too! I sneaked a package of card protectors from one of the boys yu-gi-oh card boxes and have my completed cards all protected in the little plastic envelopes!
Everyone in the whole house has started with a cold, funny how we all seem to come down with it at once. Runny noses and dry coughs abound.....I seem to be free of it so far! I guess I won't dare take them out to Sunday school again this week, as they probably are contageous. Poor Griff was up half the night coughing and gaggin'. Wasn't great for my sleep either, but he seems a bit better this morning......but now he ate chocolate and has come out in hives again. Last time he ate apples and got hives, this time its chocolate, which usually doesn't bother him.............. Strange!
Before I get to work for today, I must share my breakfast! Dr. Oz recommended STEEL CUT OATS......... on Oprah. (I just love Dr. OZ) anyways, they are DELICIOUS! So much more flavourful than the normal kind and apparently great for you too! Super filling as well. Must spread the word.....
Until next time......

Good Friday ~ Happy Easter ACEO ATC Dreams

Pin It Goodmorning!
The start of a new day and already my head is swamped with ideas for ACEO 's!
Lastnight I drew about 15 sketch ideas on this small scale, then all night I dreampt of ACEO's
Ofcourse, I won't have much time today to devote to artsy craftsy stuff, my brother and his family are home for Easter weekend, with their three little boys, (I still call them little but the oldest is taller than ME) We have a big dinner at moms this afternoon, and I must stay and visit awhile. (I think I'll take my sketchbook though) LOL
I have a request for some more dolls with sculpted toes. I only have one left in my studio, so I think I may venture into doll land the first of the week. So many ideas, so little time. Anyone ever wish there were many more hours in each and every day? I can't possibly accomplish all I dream and want to do.
Happy Easter Everyone!

ACEO ATC Fun Fun Fun!

Pin It WOW, I spent all day working on Artist Trading Cards, or I guess they call them ACEO's if you plan on selling them. My first experience with them, and I LOVE IT. It was sooooo fun I just couldn't stop! Hours and Hours and Hours just flew by!
Here is one of the ones I created today! All the ones I did today were collage style, but I have ideas in my head for painting some!
Enjoy!
