Youngest DollmakersI'm working on my imagination doll. It was so warm after the rain that the hair had to go up. I didn't have a clue about the doll, however afterwards she just started to evolve. will post her when finished.
You just have to love those long legs!
These dolls were Anne Hess designs done by Susan Ratti. I love the beaded faces.
So many dolls, too bad they weren't labeled to identify the makers.

Everybody's working and we're not even thinking about the indoor rain shower.
Creating an Imagination Doll
Neddle Knows Doll Club in the house- Debbie, Venus, Jean and Me
I had been looking forward to the doll workshop in Mt. Vernon with the 3D Doll Club’s Day with Dolls. This was going to be my first doll makers’ event and I was vibrating with excitement.
Well, for those of you who have been following my blog you know that life is full surprises. During the last week of July I found myself hospitalized again with an extremely low platelet count. A day after being admitted I had an extreme nosebleed that lasted for over 24 hours. Yes, I was frightened, but I was in the best possible place for this to happen. After receiving a dose of Retuxian, I was given 6 units of blood. All of the doctors and I agreed that I needed to have my spleen removed. The one thing I needed to know from my doctors was would I be able to be discharged on Friday, so that I could attend the workshop on Saturday. Needless to say I was happy to be out on Friday. Now, I had to hurry home to finish up my genie in the bottle doll.
Arrangements had been made and Tuesday was selected for surgery, everything went well. I’m on the mend and the ITP has been arrested.
It was great meeting up with Jean, Venus and Debbie. We hadn’t met officially in almost a year due to family commitments and illness. The Needle Knows Doll Club was in the house. I can’t remember when I had laughed so much and truly enjoyed myself as much as I did on Saturday. The host, 3D Doll club, did a wonderful job setting up everything for us. There were the magic purple bags that held all of our workshop supplies and the plentiful snack table. Three tables held the display of beautiful dolls and then there were the vendors in the auditorium. The workshops were great, but I really live to shop. Doll Makers Journey was present as were several local folks.

Beautiful dolls! I love the African one with no face. I'd like to have a pattern of that one! Looks like you had a wonderful time. I've never been to any doll function except for a dolly tea party I gave. Glad you are on the mend!
Beautiful, beautiful.....all the dolls are marvelous. I am happy to hear you are doing better! Hopefully this will be the end to major health problems :-). Your "Genie in the Bottle" doll is sooooo realistic. I love the "smoke". You are soooooo creative and talented; I see your passion coming through. Take care and be well.....
Prayerfully,
Pam
