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!

Sometimes, I just wonder where in my mind some ideas come from. This one just crept up on me. I think I was hungry...odd thing I don't like pumpkin pie. LOL,  I'm a Lemon Meringue girl. Yummy! But just my Mom's.
But, I do love a creepy pumpkin guy any time of the year.

He's now listed in my etsy shop.

He's a great little piece I just love how he came to life and is pulling himself out of that pie. :)

Have a great week!
Hugs,
Crystal

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.

Well, sorta.. Mothers day was awesome here. My kids got me my roses they are the prettiest deep red. I got 3 (1 from each of them) and my honey got me a pink hydrangea. I seen this little cottage on pintrest with roses growing on the front porch and they wrap around kinda like a arch way. I fell in love with it. and somebody was actually listening. LOL That was my real present. But, I had a great day! :)

New goodies listed in my etsy shop today!

Have a wonderful week!

I just finished up a couple of fun little goodies and they are available in my etsy shop today.

Here's a sneak peek of one ....

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.

XO   

I love this new tomato doll! He is so sweet with his big toothy grin! I hope he made you smile today! :) Pete and Daisy are available on eBay

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!

 Happy New year!


I am so looking forward to 2013. I didn't make any resolutions this year...Heck I break most of them anyway. That yummy Chocolate pie I made New Years day would of already broken one. I have no guilt for that creamy chocolate bliss. :) I never stay organized by April I'm digging out of a mess. So why worry about broken promises to myself? Just less to worry about! No Stress!

With that said...I have been a creative little fool since the new year. 2 days and I've already got the ball going on quite a few new goodies and I've rolled out new Easter and spring goodies. Here's the ones listed on etsy last night.

I know but look at that face! I just had to. :)

Kiki Parrot So Bright and pretty

Bunny Crow I ♥ him!

Swan...She sold today! Thank you Stephanie!

Tomorrow I'm hoping to have Peanut and a Chipper done! :)
Thank you all for sticking with me in 2012 and I hope to hear from you in 2013! May the New Year bring you many Blessings! All my love, Crystal

Well. I'm still working on granny's angel. Here's a quick pic of what I got so far.....I think she's a keeper...

I have to work on her wings and dress and her little bird. all in all I like her. I'm hoping to get her finished this week. What do you think?

I did however finish a new bird and a stinker.....


They both are on etsy right now. :)
Have a great Wednesday!

Have been listed on etsy. I'm two days ahead this year! Self high five! LOL The last thing I have to do is make my Granny (Carolyn) an angel for Christmas. I always make her something special as one of her gifts. This could be a little overwhelming I haven't done a doll like her in a couple of years. So it might be interesting. Giggle.

 Have a great week!
XOXO

Well, Here's the first one..I started it over the weekend in the midst of him targeting all my found treasures. An glass flour canister. I think it turned out just the cutest. What do you think? He is listed on etsy.....and is one of kind.

Imagine this jar filled with candy canes or or favorite cookies.
