Halloween! Just finished these little button jars and a spoooky spider! I just love creating Halloween goodies! It brings a big ole' smile to my face! :)

These little treasures are listed in my etsy shop!







I got my summer issue of Prims Magazine in the mail! I just love the photo's they did of my Little garden fairies and Yoko the fly! It's an awesome issue with lots of very talented artists! I'm so lucky and overjoyed to be featured again!

♥

Windows open slight breeze in the air, trees are popping with little buds...and the squirrels ate my tulips. Spring is here!

I just finished these two little button jars. Next up a little butterfly girl and some witches. :)

Well it's been almost two years since my last post. I guess it's time to dust off the old keyboard and get at it!

Last fall my little dolls were published in Prims Magazine and I will be featured in the upcoming  summer issue coming out this May! I'm so excited!! My Hubby and the kids made this little scrappy picture frame for me for the fall issue. I just love it!

Goodies I'm working on....A couple witches, a fourth of July parade girl, more pin keep things...  it's a long list LOL.

Halloween and Christmas goodies are swirling in my head. If you haven't stopped by my etsy shoppe in a little while, It is full of new Halloween treats.

Just added: Carolyn Witch, Bobbity Owl and Enchanted pumpkin tart

Have a great day!

New goodies on etsy...

:)

Well I found a tutorial for coloring ball jars on pinterest. I'm sure everyone one has seen it in some form or the other. Modge podge and food coloring and the oven. Well I tried it. Not on jars but some old bottles I wanted to use for some new potion / poison bottles. Little note if you are a control freak like me...probably need to have a paper bag ready to breathe in. There is no control on how these turn out. :( So this was a completely new experience for me. Anyways, They came out quite nice, but I did mine twice to get a real dark red. I was browsing the net for the tutorial and came across this one. It's nice because you don't use the oven and you won't get the ring around the top. You can find it here CarolynsHomework.blogspot.com

Here's my Poison bottle all finished....

He is available in my etsy shop...

Have a great weekend!

I just love these new pumpkin men. They are all so sweet. This time we have Pete and his candy bowl. He will be so cute on your table filled with your favorite treats. He's available in my etsy shoppe. I hope he made you smile today! :)

Have a great Tuesday.

What a combo. Yesterday we had my little sister's baby shower. She's having a little boy Jackson! :) We are all excited. I made her a little baby bunny for her table. He is just the cutest little thing. It was a beautiful shower with lots of family and friends. Then the real shower occurred...more like a hurricane. Normally I love a good thunderstorm. but yesterday was not that day. My window wouldn't roll up....so I'm standing in the rain with a garbage bag trying to cover it up. It would of worked too if it wouldn't of been for that pesky convertible top. No metal around the window. But, I'm pretty resourceful so I hopped in the car and turned it around so the rain wasn't blowing in.. As I sat in my little car and tried to push that stupid button for the millionth time I wondered why I opted for power windows... a little vision of my next doll came to mind. I'll be working on that today. The moral of the story....carry duck tape in your trunk....and even at your worst moment something great could happen and always laugh because it could of been that convertible top not going up. :)

Jackson's bunny is listed in my etsy shop as a custom order doll. He was awesome sitting next to her while she opened all her gifts. He or She is available in your choice of colors and Personalized with your choice of name.

Have a wonderful day! I'm off to sew!
Hugs, Crystal

I love vintage Halloween postcards, My favorites are of the little witches dressed in red sitting on pumpkins. They have inspired this new collection of Postcard witches. I hope you like them as much as I do. :)

I think I got it pretty close :) She is available on etsy. Just click her pic.

Have a Happy and Safe Holiday! ♥

Planted all my flowers last week and they a so pretty! I got some tomato plants and stuff that I'm going to put in my little garden area. I was sitting outside the other day with my sketch book and my tomato plants began to whisper to me....make me...make me....please. Now how could I turn that down. I do have a thing for tomato decor. :)

This is what I came up with.....

I love the little rusty wire cage. I was a little time consuming...but well worth it I think! I just love how it came out. Granny's Tomato's is available in my etsy shop.

I don't know why I don't make more sheep. It's probably because they are just so hard to let go. I love them all. I figured out a fix for that. I just make 2. One I can keep. :) Problem solved.
Here's my newest little one. I hope you like her. She is a cutie!

:)

Spiders and more spiders, I was on a little spider kick last week. I'd get one done and another one had to be made. I am in love with them. I can't decide which one is my favorite yet. I also finished a new whale. He's a cutie. They are all available in my etsy shop.

:)

I'm almost caught up with all the new  goodies... Just two more to finish...and then I got 3 new bird designs to do. I got most of them listed on etsy tonight. Here's a couple of my favs...

Oh boy the flu has visited our house! I'm so happy that it has left. But, at least I'm ahead on my spring cleaning.


I finished up some new designs...I'm very pleased with these new standing cats. I also finished up a new fly doll. I just love her eyes.

These and more new goodies are in my etsy shop! These kitties have lots of attitude. They should they are the best mousers in the state. I just love them so much!

Well I'm off to sew another new design. I was a sketching fool during the flu outbreak! :)

Have a blessed day!

Well, at least in my etsy shop. I listed some new goodies and I have a few new designs to finish up. I think you'll like them I also sketched up some new halloween and fall items.:)

All these goodies are new today in my etsy shop....I hope you'll stop by and take a peek.!

Oh I am so happy you stand! I have this thing where I like dolls to stand....I don't know about you but I can never get a doll to stay propped up. The kids around here run like elephants. and after picking it back up 5 times by the sixth it's staying layin! So I think that rolls over onto the design of my dolls. And you will see that in the next batch of dolls. They are some of my favorite animals and creatures revamped to stand. I'm really pleased with these and I hope you will be!! :) If you have a favorite that you would like to stand leave me a comment and I'll see what I can come up with.


I am listing items on ebay again. Right now just little dolls from the darkside. ;) But, soon I'll be adding sweet goodies too. I'm finishing up Daisy Dark. Pics coming soon! Here's Ryan my new standing bunny....He's available in my etsy shop.


Have a great day!

Have a wonderful day!

I was working on a new little dolly... a fox named Chipper....well, my little friend didn't want to be a fox at all. I couldn't deny him the chance to come alive.  A silly mouse he is. I also finished up an owl and my hubby did all the shopping (with a list of course lol) So I could sew all day. He sure knows how to make me happy. :) So I'm off here to sew and sew some more.
Have a great day!!

Both are available in my etsy shop
