I can't forget Mr. Nilson!  Cross your fingers that I finish him on time, eeck!

Meet Little Miss Sunshine!

Handcrafted soft-sculpture doll face

What a fine face this little one has. It goes beautifully with her bright, bouncy hair!

Time flies when you're having fun!

Wow, can you believe it is already the end of April?  Where does the time go...I get older by the minute before I get too far past myself!  I'm working all the time, and sometimes I feel like I'm just getting nowhere.

I'm happy to have my own little world though, where I can get lost in my creativity, bringing my little make-believe dolls to life.  You're never too old for make-believe.  Do you hear me?  It brings me so much joy to be playful, and to come up with new stories for the dolls to share.

I'm so happy with this profile!

Meet Kuniko!

Sometimes I wish there were more of me...one for facebook, one for blogger, one for emails, one for running my household, and one for for making dolls (I volunteer for the last one!).

Who can ever find enough time for everything?  On top of all of that, I have to spell check everything because of my broken English and also try to get past my disdain for that lovely thing we call a computer, grr.  I have no idea how some of you do it all!

Sorry for my rant :blush:  Moving on....

Here are a few photos of my new doll, Kuniko!  Be sure to scroll down to view the video with all the detail...
