Well, Sunday as I was working on my challenge doll for Sherry's group I totally ruined the legs! I couldn't believe it. I saved the boots, I really like those. So now that I have seen the doll finished, I'm going to go with a different color scheme and hopefully can make this work. Sherry's doll is gorgeous, but she makes amazing dolls. It will be fun to see what every one else's doll is going to look like.
On an even uglier note, it started snowing here. It is supposed to snow until tomorow afternoon or evening. So depressing!!
Well, I'll post the new legs when I get them done, hopefully I'll start this afternoon.

I keep forgetting to write about my hearts. This is a swap on Sherry's group. Sherry designed an adorable doll called "Key to My Heart" and her skirt is made from hearts. Well, the swap is to make 1 to 3 hearts from the pattern and we will have a swap. Actually the deadline is next week so I need to put the felt backings on! These were a lot of fun to make. The orange one was the first one I did. When I found this fabric in my stash I was so excited because I knew I could do
some bead embroidery following the leaf shapes. Then I had some leaf beads so I did a few fringes to the side. This was so much fun especially since beads have become my new passion, not so much for jewelry but I love bead embroidery. I want to learn how to make jewelry and the different stitches and hopefully that will give me more confidence with the bead embroidery that I
love.

Legs continued
Well, I finally got around to taking some pictures of the boots that I made for my Sherry Goshen challenge doll. They are made of ulta suede and have a trim at the top and sequins and beads down the front. And I have her legs pinned to her body. Now I have to attach the boobies and use paperclay to smooth and enhance said boobies and also a butt. I've only used paperclay once so I'm a little scared of it but I will forge ahead because the rest of the doll is so cool and looks like so much fun! We'll see where this goes.
