Glow little glow worm glimmer, glimmer....

Whew, I finally feel like myself again. Teaching took alot out of me last weekend. I still have to download the pics from my camera. The girls sure made some fantastic dolls! I was so happy that everyone loved the pattern and had really no trouble with it. just a few adjustments to terms and it's tweaked. Now, I'm going to write it into an online class. I really think it will go well.


I"ve gotten so much done today. Went out to the Amish farm to buy fresh produce! $2.50 a doz. for freshly picked sweet corn! can you go wrong? eggplant 2 for a buck! peppers larger than softballs- 4 for a buck!!! I spent $10 and came home with 5 bags of produce. Oh Yeah!
Made two pincushions that I had wanted to do for a while now and finished my pindoll for this month's swap over at Pindollalley. This month's theme was Insects and Reptiles. well, I had this little sexy Glow Worm in my brain just waiting to come out. I've been humming that darn song....Glow little glow worm glimmer, glimmer......She really came out cute. Lucious long blonde hair (matches her glowing bottom you know!) Ruby red lips and big batting eyes. This was another good exercise in letting the mind just create. I even coated her Glowing bottom with glow-in-the-dark paint-yes, it really glows in the dark. I gave her eyes and teeth a coating of glow-in-the-dark nail polish so they glow too. she's a real hoot! I do think my swap partner is going to love her! What do you think?
The pincushions are cute too. one is a pincushion that is on top of a little basket with a handle and the other one is made from a little painted flower pot. Very cute. Ah well, time to cook supper than I think I"ll work on some stuff for my trunk doll. This is a challenge going on at Vintageclothdollmaking. I've decided to use my cloth Bleuette for this challenge. I've already made her 2 more outfits and she's going to get an Elephant. I found an old elephant pattern for Bleuette. really! an elephant. I had my son-in-law translate it for me so hopefully it will go together nicely. That German Potato Salad recipe is calling me.........

Hey Ellen- I love your little glow worm. I know Karen will love him too.....that is if she hasn't taken a sneak peek at your blog to see what the pin looks like. LOL.
