I am moving to a new apartment

sorry I have not written the thing is that I had to move to a new place .
Unfortunately the owners of the old home needed to sale that house .
the new owners did not want to rent to use ( my mom and me) .
We were at that house for a little over 12 years with no problems.
All I can say is ,it is extremely hard to move but when it is the holiday season it is a pain.
I thought that maybe I would be done by now, but now I need to unpack ,
I think in 2 to 3 weeks I will be done :)
When I come back I will start to bring you some more interviews .
Thank you .

this is a pic of what my tiny studio looks like now , what a mess.

The doll measures about 17 inches tall .

The dolls' dress is from a vintage girls dress pattern

which I have modified to a doll size and it is removable .

I place especial attention to her hand-painting face.
The hair is of wool, that I have dyed and hand
stitched in place on the doll's head.

from about 1", 1 1/2" to 2" inches .

The shoes have been laced up with silk soie natural yarn .

The doll's body was entirely hand-painted and

was also painted wearing a Shirtwaists and bloomers .

The doll was created using raw silk fabric and was

painted, sanded, stained and painted once more to give the doll

a wonderful vintage look and feel .
