Hi everyone! I was really when I saw all the notifications and the feature! Thank you for your comments and feedback, I really appreciate it. I would love to reply to every single one of your comments, but time isn't allowing it at this moment. So please accept my huge THANK YOU to you all!

Thinking about reviving my Deviant account.

I never took a home ec class and somehow managed to skip learning how to sew even though my mother owned her own interior decorating company. I did however sit and watch the employees stitch decorative little pillows, my favorite being the cactus shaped ones with dangling thread as the thorns. I don't know why, but those particular pillows fascinated me.

Anyhow, I thought I'd try and make some primitive dolls to sell and to keep...and so I did! I started with a cat as my first doll, probably because I paint tons of cats on canvas and couldn't help myself. haha! I think she came out pretty cute and just how I wanted, very primitive looking. Her name is Miss Miranda Cat and she's 16" tall. I hand-sewed her body and her dress. I'm still amazed I managed to cut the shapes of the fabric right, even when I couldn't find a pencil to draw it out.

Check her out over in my gallery, comments are welcome, but please keep in mind she's supposed to look old and primitive! Thanks.

I almost completely forgot about deviantart! Been pretty busy painting and selling funny little folk art cat paintings on ebay. So, I guess I'll get back to it!

god it's been forever since i put anything up. mostly due to lack of comments i suppose. blah blah.
