The Scoop, Score and Deal

What’s the scoop, score and the deal? Good question. Here are some random notes on my disparate interests: crazy quilting, hand and machine embroidery, doll making, drawing, reading, philosophy, Flash animation, MIDI, cats, native plants – and other fun stuff…

In my "real" life, I am a graphic designer working primarily in Corel and PhotoShop. My husband is a photographer and we operate a business together called The Art Room. In my spare time (what spare time?), I design and create Santa Claus dolls. Please visit my web site, Just Clauses, at http://www.justclauses.com if you have a minute. I also try to squeeze drawing, piano practice, and songwriting into my days - not easy when deadlines are looming...

Sewing for Ann Estelle...

I haven’t purchased any patterns, yet, for my Ann Estelle doll, but I wanted to try making her a little skirt gathered to a waistband. I mean, how difficult could that be? I measured carefully (or so I thought) and the skirt ended up just a little too big (but perfect for one of my other dolls). I adjusted my pattern and made another skirt and, not only does it fit Ann Estelle perfectly, it also makes a sassy little skirt for Ellowyne. I also created a matching vest for Ann Estelle using a pattern made from a paper towel that was fitted to her. Now she needs a little top or T-shirt and she’ll be all ready for St. Patrick’s Day…

How cute she is! Isn't it fun to make doll clothes? I love the green print.
