Nasilele




Here I have a little African doll. Her name is Nasilele! I called her that because that is one of the most beautiful names I'de heard when I lived in Africa years ago. Anyway, as you can see she loves bright colours, or is that my preferance? Whatever the case, she is indeed a one of a kind Waldorf style doll.


I will have to make one thing clear though. These dolls that I make are indeed made like a Waldorf doll but not with as much natural fibres. They do have some real wool in their heads to give that special firmness but I have used acrylic and polyester stuffing and fabric for some of them. They are however, still durable and lovable and I hope you would like to adopt one. :0)

Noella Joy and Edward James







Here are two more little ones ready for adoption. They are about 12 inches tall and made by me. They are Waldorf style dolls with some of my own style added. I have been really enjoying making these little people.



Kaitlynn Anne







Here is the latest doll that I have made. She stands about 12 inches tall. Her legs can rotate and so can her arms. I made her yesterday and she turned out to be a little beauty. I hope you like her.

Tombstone National Park


This is a quilt that I have worked on all week. It was a comissioned quilt. The people who asked me to make it intend to hand it over a murphy bed in their house. They had some photos of this mountain range that they wanted me to try and copy but they were summer photos with gray and green colours and a very cloudy sky. They asked if I could give the picture a facelift by making a sunset sky, fall colours, and putting some bunches of fireweed in the forground. This valley at Tombstone national Park in Yukon, Canada is actually famous for it absolutely stunningly beautiful patches of yellows and reds that miander up the valley toward the famous Tombstone mountain peek. It has the look of a paradise and is definately a photographer's heaven.
I hope I was able to capture some of that fall beauty in this quilt.

The quilt is 5 feet by 3 feet and sold for $700 although it was probably worth more. The details in the quilting are incredible and give the landscape an awesome texture. It is unfortunate that it can't be seen on the photo.

However, enjoy the colours and the picture.

Cozy Cubs Quilt







Here is a quilt that I just made for a toddler size bed complete with pillow and case. It is made out of 100% cotten fabric and has bamboo batten. It is so soft and cute and cozy. My own little son has requested one for himself. Maybe for Christmas or his Birthday! It would make a wonderful gift.

Mission Accomplished


Hello Everyone,

I just had to let you know that the mission of selling this quilt to raise money for a motercycle for a missionary evangelist in africa has been accomplished.

I am even more happy to announce that the money for the motorcycle was raised by a group of young kids in Washington, determined to make it their mission. They came up with $2500 for a motorcycle to be bought and shipped to Africa so that God's love could continue to be scattered all over the remote villages in the mountains of Tanzania. So it was with great pleasure that I packed and shipped the quilt to the kids and they have hung it in their church foyer. Later, they have informed me, they will auction it off to raise money for the adoption of two little Ethiopian orphans that have aids. What a blessing this quilt has become!

I'm glad I get to share in that blessing!
