Does any one read blogs any more?...

Sorry I have been so lax about posting on this blog although I have posted on my At Home With Edna blog this year.  It seems everyone is using social media (and acting like junior high school kids I might add) now days instead of visiting blogs.  I still love visiting blogs but I find they are not updated very often either so I guess I'm not the only one that is behind.

Trying to get us decluttered and organized has become my new hobby but I have had some fun on eBay this year.  One of my listings was this Momma Duck and her babies which was the first in my *Adapted Beyond Recognition Series*.  This was my version of a Raven's Haven pattern and it was reduced with written permission from Stacey Mead.  This is sold and was a finished product and not a pattern.  It was fun to do.  More creating is on the horizon as time permits so stay tuned.  Until next time...   ~E~

Summer is on it's way...

Summer is on it's way and I can taste that sweet, juicy, ice cold watermelon already!  And to add a little whimsy to the season, I have listed my Watermelon Uncle Sam in my ETSY Shop.  Also listed is one of my Cage Dolls.  This one is Paris inspired.  You will find them listed here

Enjoy your summer.  I am still healing my shoulder and hip along with decluttering our home.  There is not much telling what unforgotten treasures I will unearth!  Stay tuned.

Until next time...

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~



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.

p.s.  Pages 116, 117 & 119 if you are interested.
