NEW SANTA for 2019

Alright Alright I know we just packed up Christmas BUT  I fell in love with this pattern and had to make it.  I just finished him a few hours ago and let me tell you I had fun making him.  I have many options and colors that will be available - holding bottle brush trees, lantern, boxes, sprigs, etc etc.

He has a clay face I sculpted and wired arms.  He stands appx 20" tall.  Just a great Santa, and will be a heirloom I bet!  Check him out at www.handcraftedbymichelle.com
So planning ahead I stopped on the way home from market and picked up the batting I need to create my dolls.  Crazy to think that 447 pounds of stuffing will only last through the summer.  These bags are about 4 1/2' tall!  My hands hurt looking at all that knowing I will be using all that.

I guess that is about it for today,  I have a chicken in the oven and made my favorite Blueberry Sourcream pie earlier.   Just need to make some spuds and supper will be tasty!  

Back from another market

Well we made it home from another trip to PA.  Had a great show and sold a lot of dolls!  Always so happy to meet people as excited about prims as I am.   We ran into weather on the way home, had to pull off in Tomah WI Thursday because the snow started falling pretty hard and it was slick.  Good thing we did because in the morning we saw many cars in the ditch just past the truck stop we pulled in at!   I hated to end the driving day at 4:30 but better than getting into a wreck.   Then Friday it was 40 mph for almost 100 miles.  I was so tense when I got home.  And I wasn't even driving!   But we made it home and I am back in the sewing room working on orders and new products.  
Here is a picture of the booth - after about 100 dolls were sold.  I was selling out of the boxes before I even got them unpacked.
