Working on dolls this week

I have been working on dolls this week, got about 7 of my Precious Memories dolls done. I ran out of sawdust and had to go to Walmart. I bought the pet bedding that has cedar shavings and it smells so good. This is perfect for the feedsack pillows, but kind of expensive this way. I need to check at the local sawmill and see what I can get there.

Samantha spent the afternoon with me, we were making more tarts and room sprays. Had quite a few orders for them. So we had the house smelling good again. It was nice, Samantha had dinner with us, and her dad talked her ear off. I think he is really missing her.

Carmen still isn't feeling good, so please keep her in your prayers, she still waiting to her back from her doctor. All she can do at this point is take pain pills, to keep the pain down. Her RA is really bad right now in her shoulder.

Next, I made some of Bag holders from a Sweet Meadows farm pattern, I love her patterns. I just purchased her newest bear pattern and hope to get it made next week.

Another new logo from www.ewenmeprintables.com, I love this one. It will perfect for Christmas. I have had quite a few orders from the Country Sampler ad. I was almost caught up then got several more orders these past few days.

  5. Sandy, your little memory dolls are so cute and so are the bag holder dolls! I ordered a "mammy" bag holder from Carmen last year and love it. My youngest grandson was a bit afraid of her at first. LOL but now he says it's "Grammy's doll" and smiles.
    Sounds like you all had a great weekend.
    Blessings,

  6. The dolls are very sweet. All of your the things you make look like high quality. I wish you lived closer, my husband does wood working and we have soooo much sawdust. Maybe you could find a local crafter who works with wood? Have a great week!

  7. Your annies are so wonderful. I have heard people say they use filling from the pet stores. I have been using stuffing since it is lighter and keeps the weight down.
