A Lovely Mess....

I love dressmakers....

This beautiful one wears an old vintage custom made opera gown with cape. The drama of it is extraordinary.

Pearls are one of my favorite vintage items to find. The older, the better...

Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to make everything around me beautiful and interesting. I would try and add my 'special' touches to the decor around my house. I was constantly rearranging my bedroom and would beg my father regularly for new bedding to reflect my new style changes. That was my beginning.....

My worktable. We took an old bluey green barn door and made it into a table. I love it! It always has my projects, finished and unfinished laying around to inspire me.

I've always been creative and used many different things as an outlet. I've sewn clothes, costumes, created floral arrangements, crafts, designed and re-designed my house (a million times), created jewelry, developed the Breast Cancer Journey Pillow and now....my dolls and bears. What a wonderful expression they are. All unique, well thought and planned little pieces of my creative side that I've watched come to life. There is so much joy and satisfaction watching something I've created, bring a smile to someone's face. All dolls and bears I create, whether it be for a child's birthday or for a grieving daughter who just lost her mother to Breast Cancer, has my love and energy into the creation. I am constantly touched by the messages I receive from people who share their stories and invite my thoughts and creations into their lives and homes.

Every angle you turn in my studio, there is something interesting to look at. I have an assortment of vintage thread, bobbins, sewing notions and of course....

pearls....

Some of my vintage buttons used for dolls and bears....

Have a seat...

All are welcome to sit in a cozy chair and chat with me while I work.

There's never a shortage of fabric choices to create with...

Some of my bears in waiting.... ;)

Thank you for taking some of your time to visit me and my studio.

Live every day as it were your last and remember.... always remain young at heart!

Warm Regards,

Me and my amazing son...
