~Springtime Suzie~

With SPRING-TIME just around the corner....I thought this gal should be called ~Springtime Suzie~ She is full of FUN and is just adorable!! She is one of my larger dollies and I really enjoyed bringing Suzie to life...

The doll stand that you see here, will be sold with her. I finished the base of the stand off with wool felt that matches. Springtime Suzie is listed on Ebay and will end on Sunday Evening...

The SWEET accessories were so fun to create! I made paper flower type pretties for her hat. Suzie's hat is removable, as is her lil basket. I finished off the lil basket with matching fabric and "sugar-coated" it for sweetness! I added some matching crimp paper and a pretty butterfly - that can be removed as well.

Things have really been melting around here and it has also been raining....which means lots of MUD! My kitty-cats are getting spring fever and I can not wait to throw the windows open and let some of that fresh air in...but we have to wait for a bit yet. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Toodles for now, ~Tonya

~SWEET ALICE~

I was finally able to make a lil something for a group challenge, for my AhA Group! She is listed in my Etsy Shoppe, I do hope that you will be able to stop by and take a peek! She is so much sweeter in person...I didn't have a very good time with pictures today. There is too much of an overcast with all of the rain we have been receiving.

I seen my first Robin yesterday and several today, you know what that means....SPRING is almost here! I honestly do not know what those poor Robin's are going to eat. The ground is still frozen, there is still lots of snow here and now mud mixed in.....

Today Ninny and I are going to the new movie --- Alice in Wonderland. I am sure there will be awesome FX and by the sounds of it, it is a good movie. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Toodles for now, ~Tonya

Happy Birthday...

Happy Birthday to My Dear Hubby! He had to work until 6 a.m. this morning, but we will be Celebrating later today. I bought a YUMMY Dairy Queen Extreme Chocolate Crunch Cake for him (that he does not know about yet) and we will probably go out for dinner as well. Good Conversation, Good Eats, Yummy DQ Cake, and a Family that loves him...what more could he ask for?

Today is bright, but I really can't see any sun. A bit of a breeze, to help dry the melting snow. And still pretty mild temps out....Spring is on the way! Just a bit of a slow day here, but we all need those. Just patiently waiting for later on, to Celebrate. I am going to go play in my studio. I hope you all have a grand day. Toodles, ~Tonya

Seven Pounds...

I am talking about the movie, with Will Smith. Have you ever seen it? If you have not, I urge you too...you must watch it. It does start out a bit slow and at times, all the while you will try to "fit" the pieces together. Do not go and look up to see what the movie is about in full length detail, you will only ruin it for yourself....

Here is a small summary of the movie - Haunted by a secret, Ben Thomas looks for redemption by radically transforming the lives of seven people he doesn't know. Once his plan is set, nothing will be able to stop him. At least that's what he thinks. But Ben hadn't planned on falling in love with one of these people and she's the one who will end up transforming him.

That is all you need to know before watching the movie. I knew less...and the less you know, the better. I did figure out the movie, when it was not quite half way through, but immensely enjoyed the movie. I feel everyone should watch this movie. The last 30 minutes will really "clue" you in and then all the pieces begin to make sense. What a selfless act he did, but at the same time...well, go watch it - to see what you think!

Today is full of sun and some more melting....some more "Welcoming Weather" to let us know that SPRING is just around the corner. I hope each of you have a beautiful Saturday. Toodles, ~Tonya

♥ SWEETNESS ♥

I have been really busy and FINALLY completed something to sell! Sweet Bunny-Bunnies just for SPRING ---- but really, they can be kept out all year through! I am very pleased with the way that these two sweetie-pies turned out. I have them listed on Etsy. If there is no action over there with in a couple of days, I will move them to ebay. So, if you are interested in them, hop on over to my Etsy Shoppe...


They are smaller bunnies and just so stinking cute! I had a lot of fun with these and I hope that you like them. I am going to try to offer smaller items most of them time....because times are tough for everyone....let's just hope that things start to turn around in this economy...


It is so funny, when I first finished up the pink dot one, she was my favorite, then I was finishing up the blue dot one and she became my favorite....let's just say, I can not really decide *smirk*

I think the black & pink are so striking together. Full crepe paper collars with glass glitter all the way around on all the edges. It took a while to do, but so worth it!

And I also made some OLDE hang tags. You can add them to dollies, fixins or where ever your little heart desires. Today we has some more melting going on...as long as it melts slowly like this, there will not be any flooding. I hope you all had The Perfect Day. Take Care. Toodles for Now, ~Tonya

Something FUN!!

Something FUN for ME! Yes, I know Halloween - but it is my FAVORITE time of year for creating! I received some really neat note cards from Pea last year (Thank you Pea!). Well, I knew that they were too SWEET to use and I didn't want to just have them sit out, for fear they may get ruined or bent...so, I thought I would frame them up! The note cards were an odd size, so I mounted them to some paper, that I coordinated with the cards, added some rub-on's, & some glitter and here they are....

Aren't they just the SWEETEST!! Thank you Pea. I told you I would would do something with them. I will probably keep them in my studio for a while...and then put them with my All Hallow's Eve Goodies. The cards are from original art from "Meg of the Magpie". I did find her blog, but she is no longer updating and such...Meg did/does Beautiful work! If I had to pick a favorite, it is this one, with the dots! I am a DOT GIRL...

So very neat! I love them even more now. Today is another gorgeous day out...mild temps and there is some melting going on, Whoot - Whoot! March came in like a lamb, but we can just forget about it going out like a lion, can't we? HA! I plan on getting something done in my studio this week, some new creating? I think something for SPRING! I think all of us are getting antsy for spring. I hope you all have a MARVELOUS Monday. Toodles, ~Tonya
