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!



The long lost art of blogging!  

Posted by: Crystal Cord in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.


Baby Bunnies and Rain...  

Posted by: Crystal Cord in , , , , , ,

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



Enchanted Pumpkin Pie  

Posted by: Crystal Cord in , , , , , ,

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

He is available on etsy for 20.00 plus 5.35 shipping

Have a wonderful Wednesday! The weekend is getting closer! :) 


A little summertime...  

Posted by: Crystal Cord in , , , , , , , ,

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 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

A New Year......  

Posted by: Crystal Cord in , , , , , , , , ,

 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

Last of the Christmas goodies...  

Posted by: Crystal Cord in , , , , , , ,

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.

Snowball Is sold but I will take orders for her until Monday Dec 10th
