whimsical santa doll

I'm so excited to have finally made my first Santa Clause doll! I've been wanting to make one ever since I got a santa head off the clearance rack this past January - I just didn't quite know what to use for his body. Then, I finally figured it out and wah-la!

I'm looking forward to making more whimsical santas

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.

Happy Duck!

I made this duck a few weeks ago, just to see if I could do it. It's just been sitting around on my desk and everytime I look at it, I feel happy! So, I'm sharing this picture in hopes that it will make you feel happy too.

Have a great day!XOXOtk...happygirl
