Noah's Ark Made the Front Cover

So excited that Noah's Ark made it to the cover of Rug Hooking Magazine. I am so excited that I am a part of this. It is a great accomplishment for Mary and Leonard. They let us share in creating some of the animals. Thank you for letting me share in this fun project.

Check it out

Huge Rug Hooked Noahs Ark

The top photo is of Mary Sheppard Burton and Leonard Feenan with the ark. This project was their idea.
The top photo puts it into perspective of just how big this ark is.
Completely rug hooked and all the animals, people and things on the ark are rug hooked.


I had the privilege and honor of making two donkeys and a bee skep for this wonderful ark.

Progress is being made on these creations. As you can see the little black doll has hair and a dress now. Just look at those cute toes. 

Momma Tess and Baby Jazz bunnies are all ready to list on Ebay tonight. They are so very cute together. 

The mermaid mother daughter set is getting there. I designed and made a cloth shell yesterday with an inner wire to display this doll set on. Today I will begin to paint this shell. 

The white rabbit on the right. She must like being naked as she or he has not told me what to dress them in. ♥

These are the dollies that are talking to me this week. 

As you can see they are all in need of clothes. So it is a good thing we are in Arizona right now. 

Thought you might like to see the works in progress.

Doll Muzings

As creations form they sometimes have a mind of their own. My rabbit that was going to go with the black girl has decided that she wants the spotlight all by herself. The little black girl will probably have a black cat to go with her and she might have wings. While walking yesterday I found a perfect stick for wings. Rarely are the wings as perfect as these. Will have to see what doll these must go with.

I like to let my creations sit for a while and contemplate them. I hate it when I have procrastinated to long and something must get finished before I am ready for it to be finished.

Rabbits galore!!!!!!!!!!!

Today found me at my sewing machine. Sewing a little black girl to go with a rabbit I have in pieces. It has been a while since I made a black doll and they are among my favorite dolls to make.

I also sewed together another rabbit with a baby bunny. This is a pattern I have had a long time but now was the time to create her. I have bunnies on the brain. Hubby saw a little cotton tail this morning. I think you will fall in love with this little set. Now if it will just come together. 

The mermaid mother daughter set is ready to be painted and finished off. 

Hope to have one of these sets ready to list by this weekend.
