Holidays Are Coming!!!


I do love Fall! I'm ready for cooler weather and all of the fun upcoming events. I've recently discovered a new design for Christmas ornaments. This is just one example of the many ways to use a simple ball ornament for the base.


Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Party Pixies are getting ready for fall!


I've been busy coming up with some new designs for Fall & Halloween. I'm definitely NOT big on anything scary or morbid - I like to keep things Happy & Glittery! I've been making my usual party pixie dolls, but have been adding a Halloween twist.

Summer time creating!


Don't ya just love summer? To me, there's just something nostalgic about it. I get to reconnect with my children and they remind me that I don't have to be on a schedule all the time.

I have always been fascinated with the ocean. When I was a little girl, I loved to play in the ocean; Now, I'm terrified of the water - I know what lives in it!

I absolutely adore seashells of all kinds and create with them as often as I can. I ordered an assortment of shell coin purses a few years ago, not really knowing what I would do with them. Then, one day I had an idea. I started turning them into shell pixies! This last one that I made is my favorite, so far. The front of her shell says "Celebrate Life" and there is a pink ribbon bead in the middle of it. I hope that she will inspire you to celebrate your life and also to remember how important a mammogram is. It can save your life!
Have a great day and enjoy this beautiful summer!

Party Pixie girl

What is a Party Pixie? To me, a party pixie girl represents someone that celebrates life. This type of doll is so special to me - I guess she is the epitome of my personality. They are made specifically to make people feel happy and to remind people to celebrate life. I use a wool bead (ordered from http://www.artgirlz.com/) It is fun experimenting with different color combos.

Icecream Sundae Party Pixie

I'm having the best time making party pixies! I love using fake desserts for the base of their bodies - this is a very realistic looking vanilla icecream scoop, complete with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and of course - a cherry on the top.

Cake Fairy

This is a cake fairy that I was asked to make for a customer in California. This was the first time that I added the crepe paper to a party hat - I'm so glad I put in the extra time and effort because I love the way it turned out.

Whimsical Marie Antoinette inspired doll




This is my latest creation - a Marie Antoinette inspired doll. Her fancy hat is made up of snowflakes, feathers, glittery leaves a birds nest and two white love birds.
