Here's a picture of my first attempt at dollmaking. Did this snowman last night. The glue was still wet around his eyes so it shows in the picture. Still have to make his twig broom. I'm going to attempt to sell some at our bazaar. Honestly I think this one is kind of ugly but then I'm always so critical of myself when I make something. Think I'll make smaller coal lumps next time.

Oh..just another plug for Kay too..her lavender linen spray/spritzer is fabulous..I am sure I must buy more of it than most people..I can't live without it. I never iron without it and love love love that lavender smell. Check it out and you won't be sorry.
I am so excited that my own little snow family will be here soon. I have just the place for them!

Kay,
I think that if you continue with the handcrafted items you will certainly find your niche..something fun and profitable for you to do.
Perhaps there are stores in your area that would be more than willing to either buy your items wholesale or do a consignment deal with you.??
It is certainly worth a shot and it seems to me that it would be right up your alley.You are good at it.
Farmgal hugs,
Tina

Yippee! The snowfamily arrived today, and they are just too cute. I was gushing over them, after ripping the box open practically barehanded, which amused my french hubby to no end, so he came over and took a peek, then picked up the snowman and cradled him like a baby.....so I could see what I looked like I reckon! So NOW I am totally ready to sing 'let it snow, let it snow, let it snow'! Hats off to talented farmgal Kay. Nance |

Here they are! Sorry it took so long. I started a new job last week. Mama's glue was still wet so it shows in the picture but will dry clear.

I'm proud to say that Mr. Snowman got married today. Later this evening he and the new Mrs. had a little snow boy and a little snow girl. As soon as the children get their eyes put on tomorrow I'll post pics.

Our Farmgirl group is putting on our first bazaar at the local Grange. We'll be selling our wares plus have 10 other vendors. It's going to be such fun.

Kay I had to laugh at the reaction to dolls baking in the oven. My kids smell something yummy-peek in the oven & say "Nevermind, it's just another doll". LOL
Cute snowman! What kind of bazaar are you doing?

I'm working on the Mrs. this afternoon and will be making more of each because I'm going to have them at our Farmgirls Bazaar on Dec 2nd. I'll post pics on my website when they're done and you can place orders if you'd like. They'll be $10 each or $18 for the pair. Not sure about the kids -- working on those too.

He was baked after he was stuffed. You should see the looks on my family's faces when they open the oven door and see that inside!
Snow Babies -- what a cute idea. Guess I better create a private area where Mr. and Mrs. Snowman can get together soon.

Oops, forgot my farmgirl manners for a sec. I think Jenny should have first right of refusal for this cutie since she posted her interest before me. Let me know, gals. Nance |

Kay, he is adorable, and if he is definitely for sale, please let him come and live with me! Just let me know how much for shipping too. Might have to get him a Mrs. and yes, hopefully Mrs. Snowchick won't be too 'frigid' for children (ha, couldn't resist, sorry gals)! Nance |

In the oven ...before or after he was stuffed? Just curious! Told ya he was cute! See ...we all love him! Any snow children in he and the MRS. future?!!! I'm with Nance, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!"

Norma -- I read on the internet that baking would help with they drying process plus draw out the coffee stain more. So I put him in a 200 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Kay, Mr. Snowman is ADORABLE! You said he's "painted" with coffee & vanilla & baked in a slow oven? Please elaborate -- I'm curious about the baking part, I guess. I understand the coffee & vanilla would make him look old, but why bake him? I bet he does smell YUMMY! You did a wonderful job on him -- you're very creative!
Wishing you a great day!
