Busy & HOT!

Wow has it been a HOT summer!  That's worked a bit in my favor, however, as I can sit inside in the air conditioning and not feel guilty about doing outside work until evening when it's cooler.  As far as the "inside" work, I just pretend that it's done! 



Here is what I've been working on lately!

Carter-a 4 inch baby monkey

Daisy - a 6 inch baby bear

Monkey Limbs!!!  I LOVE them!  Monkey feet/hands are my favorite to make!



Baby Orangutan head after painting.   Yes, I know she's a little scary right now!



 I LOVE how this baby orangutan turned out.  Yes, she isn't the prettiest thing, but what newborn is?!? 

She just makes me want to pick her up and cuddle her!!

Hold me!





Baby Making!

I have another addiction, which is definitely not what I needed!  Making clay babies!  I've been playing with the clay for about 3 years now, but have been totally obsessed as of late. 

There seems to be something therapeutic about squishing and kneading clay.  At least for me!

I think the best part for me, is that I get to play with dolls~at my age!  I also like the fact that it incorporates so many of my favorite crafts.  After making the actual doll, I get to either crochet or sew the doll's clothes. 

Here are just a few body parts that I've made recently.  I find it funny that my husband and daughter do not even bat an eye anymore, when they come home to find trays of body parts lying around the kitchen and dining room!

I will try to keep this blog updated as the babies progess!  Until next time~
