BugBaby EPattern Released...

There is nothing sweeter than a nap in the pumpkin patch! The original BugBaby was a OOAK doll that I made last year.  I have had several requests for that pattern.  I have just released a simplified version of BugBaby and I think she turned out even sweeter than the original.  You will find purchasing information for the epattern on my PlumThicket Patterns page.  Thank you for your interest in my designs. Creating is good for the soul. ~Edna~



Handmade Rubber Stamp Tutorial

A couple of years ago I made my own handmade rubber stamp to use to stamp fabric for a custom doll that I was working on.  Now I LOVE making rubber stamps.  It's very relaxing for me, but then again, so is dollmaking, knitting, sewing, painting...well you get the picture.  Creating is good for the soul.  My latest project is a Handmade Rubber Stamp Tutorial so you can make your own one of a kind rubber stamps, too.  The technique is super easy and oh so much fun.

My E-Tutorial is available in my ETSY shop or you can get it as an instant download at my nook on PatternMart or at The Pattern Cupboard.



I've been published in Art Doll Quarterly!

I was thrilled and humbled several weeks ago when I was contacted by Stampington & Company saying that three of my dolls will be published in the Autumn 2011(Aug/Sept/Oct) issue of Art Doll Quarterly due out August 1st.  Today I received my official pre-issue and I must say, the folks at ADQ did a beautiful job capturing the whimsical personality of my dolls.  I can't believe my eyes...it only took me twenty five years to become an *overnight* success. :)))  Thank you ADQ and thank you to all of my valued friends and customers; you are my inspiration.  Creating is good for the soul.
