Well this is my first show and tell since what my family and I now refer to as the "computer fiasco" LOL.
I have some lovely new items for sale. The pears I call "Perfect Pears" they are so cute I just love them. I used a new technique that I have been working on with watercolor paint and beeswax. I am writing up the pattern for the pears and then the pattern will be available on my website. I am also writing up the pattern for the witches hat and kitty cat which will also be available on my website. The dolls are a bit of a departure for me as I have not done an Annie doll for such a long time, so I did some Annies with my personal little twist on the faces and hair. I love the way that they turned out and they will go up for auction on my eBay tonight. The little pink and green one is my spin on a Fuschia flower. I think she represents pretty well. I had seen a picture on flickr of a fuschia and just thought that the stamens looked like little legs and the petals the skirt. She is even wearing a cute little green cap on her head. So sweet! The other little cutie pie is Katie Anne and when I saw the fabric at the quilt shop I just knew what I wanted to do with it. I love the bright colors and the pink and aqua are so pretty together.
Anyways I have truly missed the show and tell and can not wait to do some blog hopping. Whoo hoo.
Oh yeah, do not forget to check out the pretty little ladybug below - she is my very first offering for a give-away!
I will have to check out all these new offerings! Great looks!

Wonderfully creative...I fell in love with fuchias when I worked in Puget Sound and went to Buchart Gardens.
