Pictures from May's Doll Club Meeting!






May 12th Doll Club Meeting

Another great meeting! I just love this group. The gang going to CIFI was all a-buzz about getting ready for the conference. Rose shared the polka-dot bags that we'll be using at the conference, and asked if anyone else would like to purchase one. Very cute bags by the way, and I don't think it's too late to let Rose know if you want one. $9.72 each! I think the colors are pink/green, brown/aqua, black/pink, but ask Rose to find out for sure.

Rose also shared that she will be selling purse hangers at the conference that say "I'm a Fabric Floozie!"
There were some very cute embellished hats, that were a part of the May challenge. I think the best news was our dear friend Susan was back after her surgery and seems to be doing very well! We missed you Susan!

The workshop was run by our very own Moon Goddess aka Cindi Phelps. She taught us how to make heirloom lace hair, using several different tools & a sewing machine. She demonstrated ones you can buy and she showed how to make one using anything from a coat hanger to wooden skewers! I learned a lot!!!

Next months workshop is on using Shiva Paint sticks for doing faces. I will publish the supply list when I get back from the conference!

Also, the June challenge is to decorate your tin that Rose gave us last month. Kudos to Amy and Deloris for already having theirs done!

Hugs to everyone!

More Pictures from April's Doll Club Meeting




April 14th Doll Club Meeting


Wow, this month's meeting was a blast! Our workshop this month was marbeling with Mary! Mary taught a great workshop on how to dye fabric using shaving cream and dye. I think eveyone had a blast!
Our challenge for this month was to make name tag that reflected who we are; I think Ms. Deloris get's the prize for making one that really looked herself. Everyone did an amazing job.
Next month's challenge is to decorate the hats and alter the treasure chest tins, compliments of Rose, and bring them next month. Our May workshop will be conducted by Cindi a.k.a Moon Goddess on how to make doll hair with the hair pin tool. More information to follow on what supplies to bring with you next mont.
Some sad news; Kathi will no longer be joining us as she got a teaching gig on Wednesdays, and our dear friend Susan fell and broke her sholder and will be out of commission for awhile. We miss you sweet friend!
As usual the meeting went by way too fast, but it was a great time for everyone!
More later!
Cynthia!

Flower face pin

I enjoyed teaching a bunch of our group how to bead around a polymer face.  Everyone wanted to know what to do with them after they finished.  Here is one of the ideas I came up with.

Hope everyone had a nice Passover & Easter this year.

Recap of March 10 Doll Club Meeting

What a great meeting we had this month! Yvonne led a "hands-on" demonstration; generously allowing us to use her molds and Ultra Light Sculpey - White. Mary also brought some great molds and everyone walked away with at least one sample to take home.

The Show & Tell table was a great hit and the dollar challenge dolls were all so unique and creative! What a talented bunch of women we have in this club.

We welcomed a new member, Kathi (with an i) :) and we had a lady from the YMCA, Deloris, sit in to see if this was something that she would like to attend regulary. We hope she comes back!

The challenge for April's meeting is "Name Tags!" Everyone should make a name tag to wear to each meeting - bonus points if it looks like you!

Also for April's meeting - we will be doing "Marbeling with Mary," as she leads us through a workshop on dying fabric using inks and shaving cream! An email and later post will outline the supplies you need to bring to the meeting.

I posted a couple of pictures below from our March class.
