Happy New Year!

Ok, so Christmas is done for now, my house is kind of looking normal again, but what is normal?  I have lots on my mind as to what I would like to do for this new year.  New ideas, new TV, new Wii..oh yea!!! ....need to get my yard back into shape, lose a um...a few...pounds..yea riiiight....and reorganize my poor cluttered spare room.  That is just the small list, LOL.  Last summer I was recuperating from surgery, so this summer I plan on getting many of these things accomplished.  It feels like summer is far away, but in reality...it will be here before we all know it!  It is the time I have off from work that I can accomplish most of my goals!

Oh, I got my computer all reformatted now so I need to work on cluttering it up again too with all my software!  Hopefully I wont have any issues again.  This time I played it smart and put McAfee on first. Then Office 2007 with all of the service packs... No errors!!!  So far so good...all my hardware is working correctly as it should!  It was the first time ever I reformatted a computer in less than 30 minutes...I was so impressed!  Yea for technology, gotta love it!

Wishing you all a wonderful, safe, prosperous, healthy New Year!

Love,

Chris

Green Mermaid Dotee Doll

Well...I dont have a name for her yet.  It will come to me sometime soon.  If you have any suggestions please feel free to pass them my way....  She took me all day to work on...off and on...I had a difficult time with her crown, but I finally got it to work...for some reason I have a hard time soldering sometimes.  The solder just wont hold!  I use flux...and I tried both my torch and an iron.  Thought I had it...with the iron...and when I started adding the other wired pieces...it broke...so I figured another way to make it work...but its not how I wanted it.  It works though...and it holds rather nicely. I learned a new way to do this...and might use it again in the future...

Hope you enjoyed your day off if you had one.  I did!  My heart goes out to all military personel....being a retired Navy wife, I feel for ya!!!  Military life is not easy.

Zelda Close Up!

Ok, here she is completely finished now. I added just a few little pearls and added some shimmery paint which you really cant see in this photo. I also wired up her hair so you can see her arms better.

Thanks again for all your wonderful advise...

Newest Dotti Doll!

Here is my newest Dotti Doll. I named her Zelda because she reminds me of a wild cat. I took most of the day putting her together...I like to take my time...lol She has a belly button, ta ta's and a butt! I try to make all my dolls with butts...hehehe.. sometimes I can't!

Her face is painted with watercolors and acrylics. I outlined everything to add a little more detail. Can you believe I used a purple micron pigma pen to do that... I thought I grabbed a brown one. The lighting was not that great in my living room or I would have notice right away...but I think I like it this way! I have an ott light, but its in my dining room where I do most of my jewelry...oh well.. Oh, and I rubbed the tips of her hair walnut stain distress ink! I have more pictures of her that I will put up soon...

I'm debating if I should put a skirt on her or some kind of a tu-tu. I think I want to do a little more sparklies on her too... I would love to hear your input!

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!!!!

Thanks...

Chris

Snowmen Earrings

Here is another one of my little creations. I think the snowmen are so dang cute with the black swavarski bead in the center for his scarf....

Santa Earrings......

Well...I was doing a little exploring the other day and found these cute Santa earrings....so I decided to go to the store and pick up the pieces to make them...once I was in the store...my mind was going and thinking....and I came up with my own style of Santa's.... I like my Santa's better..LOL

My Jewelry Display...

I was reading an email that I get frequently from one of the newsletters I receive on a regular basis, and finally decided it was time to add a photo of my displays to that website. So I submitted the photo with a little blurp and she loved it. So now my displays can be scene by those who visit her website. http://www.jewelry-display-ideas.com/wings-n-scales.html

Well...I am having lots of fun making the jewelry for my new website. This is one of the hostess choices... I still have a long ways to getting the site exactly like I want it..I am sooooo picky!!! Once the site is up and running, I will let you all know...Im so excited about it. I do hope it works. I will tell you more about it once it is put together. The hardest part is making the animations. Its so time consuming...but well worth it in the long run...Ok..enough of that...I best get to work. Time does not stop...
