Hi Jeanne, you said "fate, destiny or just good karma". How about all of the above.

Welcome, Jeanne! Great to have you here. I took a look at your blog and found it very interesting. You will have to connect with Karen Davis, another member who is working with letters and words in surface design.

You can personalize this page (many templates available that you can tweak), join groups, participate in forums, start new ones, load photos, videos and music- anything you think would interest the others. A good way to start connecting is to go through the photos and comment on ones that grab you. You can rate them, too, as every week we post the top photo on the front page.

Every member has a blog here that is linked to the front page- a good way to introduce yourself and to keep people updated on what's going on with you. Make yourself at home!

American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

Moccasins and Leather Craft Patterns


HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
