Comment on Dolls from a vintage pattern by An Older Woman

I am SO glad you are creating. And these doll patterns, or some like them, fill the boxes in my closet. I have so many doll patterns. I’ve never posted any of what I’ve made, but I should. There is one in particular that is constructed of my son’s clothes; clothes I couldn’t throw away even after he left for college and told me to toss them. A shirt in particular, that became the shirt of the pumpkin doll, is ever present in so many high school photographs of him. He’d wear it open with a dark shirt underneath, erroneously thinking that it wasn’t getting dirty. I had to seek it out, from under the bed, to wash it. Kids are funny, Anyhow, making dolls out of fabrics of importance to me used to be a big pastime. I’m on to other things.

Like blogging, and reading other blogs. Like yours. So glad your posting and sewing and gifting your family. It will mean everything to them. Lucky girls!

I am so resonate with this one. Thank you for stopping by and shouting out on my cyber pad yesterday so that I can discover your amazing, inspiring world. I will need more time to drool over all that you create…where can I order more hours in a day!

Comment on October Snowstorm Outside the Studio by An Older Woman

It was 88 here Tuesday, and I HAD to turn the air-conditioning back on. I hate it, and would give my right arm (perhaps my left arm) to be up there now. I so love the snow. What a beautiful picture. Patsye

I am inspired as well. I’ve collected about a half dozen childrens board books for this reason but have yet to try this. Your colors, as usual, as gorgeous, and you have such a knack (talent) for form. Beautiful. Patsye

Thanks for your comment, Judith. It’s all experimental for me. There are many ideas and techniques I’d like to try . . . maybe in the new year.

Spectacular. I’ve made altered books but they pale in comparison to your work of art. Thanks for the inspiration
