Hi!

Hello everyone I have lots of news and updates to relate so lets get started...
First of all a big congratulations to the winners of :iconnorablansett: contest "Where's Spring" . First prize went to :iconinchelina: for this lovely piece, I love this artist's work so here are a few other marvelous pieces from her gallery for your viewing delight...

Second place went to :iconmiss-dandy-kat: for A beautiful photo which really captured the contest theme!
And third prize went to :iconbiancaneve81: for this gorgeous piece Isn't it lovely!?
This was a really hard contest to judge since there were so many beautiful entries!

In other contest news, my piece Little Red Riding Hood was the winner of Best in Show in the FanCraftic Contest! I was so surprised and of course very thrilled :D

For anyone who might be interested, I am currently in the process of posting a tutorial on how I make my dollhouse sized and storybook dolls. Part one is currently up on my blog [link] and I hope to have part two up next week. It's a rough first attempt so I'd love critiques.

And now I'm off to rake up more leaves for a new lasagna bed I'm building in the back...and no I'm not planting lasagna ;)
Enjoy the spring and :hug: to all you moms out there.

I don't think anyone really knows! ;) Great place to sell tough! I'm not a member of doll street yet, sometimes I think I already have too many on line presences!

Can I ask what is an Etsy? Also you are still doing so great, you cloth doll girl! I rarely get comments on my dolls, only on my Victorian gown. Oh well, I recently joined Doll Street, are you a member?
