This is my doll I think from Buttercream Cake artist aka Miranda
She is a little cow right down to the udder. LOL Also sent a pretty piece of fabric and a spool of blue thread'Thanks so much Darlene

PS There was no card but I saw the return address.

I love the cow! Makes me smile from ear to ear! :D :D






Ninnie

Glad you like her ninnie....I love the cow, you girls are so clever....

I received an adorable doll from Darlene yesterday!!! I was sooooo excited when I got home and saw the package!!! She came with a lovely card, and beautiful fabric!! However, my doll was so excited to jump out of her packaging and into my hands that her beaded tail exploded all over my kitchen counter. I was able to collect all the beads before my cat could, and I will put the beads back on to her tail tonight. After I get her beads back on, I will take a picture and post her for all to see!! She sure is a sassy gal throwing her beads everywhere (either that or the postman wasn't very gentle with her!).

Thank You Darlene!! I love her!!! Especially the crocheted flower. My craft of choice is crocheting, so this doll has found a perfect home!!

A note to Pamh and Lindar: Your dolls are dancing across my sewing table just waiting for their hair to arrive in the mail!! I expect the hair to be in the mail today so I can put it on tonight. They will be on their way shortly!!!!

:D Oh girls ... these little dolls are just so cute! I have never heard of the dotty dolls. Or, the icicle ones either for that matter. I will have to google them to see what they look like too. This sounds like fun to do.

I have had ornament swap parties before and this sounds interesting.

I love them, these are so cute and each one so different . I can't wait to get mine :D

The cow is sooo cute!!!

Everyones dolls are so cute! They make mine look like rag-a-muffins. Mine aren't 1/2 as cute as what is shown. Mine went out today, so Barbsbus and Leona...keep a lookout for them. I didn't name them, so you can give them names AND I forget to get their pictures. :( :(

Anyway....I go to my mailbox today and heard a noise. Lizard stuck in there? So, carefully, I open my mailbox. There's a package! WOOHOO! It's MOVING! OMG!! I take out the letters and carefully remove the package. I hear noise coming from it. Do I DARE bring it in the house? Hmmmm.....then I notice it's from Miranda (Buttercreamcakeartist). She's miniaturized her kids and put them in a box and sent them to me! OMG! NO WAY!! ARGH!!!! I thought of throwing the box down and running REALLY fast, but decided not to. I'm brave. Yup, I are! Well....sometimes. Gotta be brave and bring the package in the house. So, in the house I go. I make sure I have the cats around me while I open it just in case something jumps out, that way, Big Boy can pounce it and hold it down. :)
Well, I open the box and OUT jumps Guami Lin-Su. She announced herself as she bounded out of the box carrying a pretty fat quarter and spool of thread. She informed me that she WILL BE sleeping in amongst my stash to which I told her she would have to behave herself or she would be fed to the cats lol She calmed down when I told her that. She looked at Big Boy and said...I PROMISE to be good! :)
She'll be making friends with Ruths dolls. They have perfect manners and teach all the other dolls manners. So, I think a few days with them, Guami will be a good girl.

So, without further ado.......

too too cute Love the material also

Guami, is adorable!!! :D :!:

Terri you have a great way with telling a story, I was cracking up as I was reading it. :lol: :lol:


BTW---
I know your babies are cute, they were made out of love!!!!!

And pretty fabric! :) lol

Ninnie/Linda, your doll is so cute! I really love those big eyes.

Yes, there she is! Darlene, I owe you an apology. I forgot your note! I'm very sorry. I meant to put one in, but I had to chase Guami Lin-Su outta my stash and back into her box, so I lost my concentration. Your cow's name is BELLA NOVINA. She's a down-home farm girl. She likes to churn butter and buttermilk, feed the chickens, bake cobblers, make homemade soap, and quilt. Her favorite TV show is "The Beverly Hillbillies" (followed by "The Dukes of Hazzard"), and Ellie Mae is her idol. She has the accent, too. She's pretty well-mannered and handy to have around the house. She keeps everyone in line.

This gal cow is UDDERLY amazing. You should see under the skirt! I wasn't going to put a skirt on her, but my husband said I HAD to! :oops: I can't help it. I get "creative". lol

Maybe I could've put a kitten or two in that box?!?! ;) Is Guami getting settled in? I hope she hasn't gotten too much of your trim in a tangle. She was very excited to come to Guam, but she said those lizards had better get out of the stash because she was moving in! Attitude! Bella Novina (the cow) wrestled her around some before they left. I don't know if it taught her anything or not, but I'd say Bella will give her another round if she ever sees her again. See, Guami was off in the stash messing around when I was trying to package them up. I had to go hunt Guami down, and I forgot to put Bella's note in her package for Darlene.

Glad you like her, Terri!

Oh, she's starting to settle down. She was jumping on the couch, but stopped when Big Boy came around. I think she's scared of him...rightly so! :)
She will be sitting next to one of Ruth's dolls for some Manners Training and I'm sure in a couple of days she'll be the good girl she is supposed to be. :) :)

I will be mailing my little Dotees today. All of the dolls posted are just toooo cute. It is so much fun to see what everyone has made and so much creativity!

It's okay about the note I forgot to mention she has lovely earrings too. And the bluest eyes I have ever seen. She is a sweetie.
Darlene

Darlene and Ruth - I haven't forgotten about you...I'm running behind schedule and should have your Dotee dolls in the mail tomorrow. Please forgive me. I started a new job and was in training all last week. Please say you'll forgive me!!! They'll be extra special, since you had to wait!!! Love ya...and this time I mean it!! giggle

Nothing to forgive it's not May yet, your doing fine...good luck with the new job...hope you like it :D

Don't worry sweetie I will be happy to see it and I know it will be pretty. Congrats on the new job too.
Darlene

Hey you guys I'm soooooo jealous! ALL the dolls are absolutely adorable. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I really want in on the fun next exchange!

Check out mirandas June swap notice--we are voting on what we want to make.

Hey girl! You been hiding!
Glad you came up for air and are amongst the living! lol

Thanks Pam on my way there now!

I was gone for two weeks to take care of my Aunt and Uncle. He had a stroke 8 months ago and she had a tumor removed on her thigh. It looks like a shark bite her!!! I was also getting their house ready, so they could move. Took wallpaper off four rooms, worked in their yard, cooked three times a day...Hebrew slave work!! lol But wasn't able to get any sewing done!!! It's good to be back!! I also didn't have internet connection for those two weeks...then I started my training when I got back. Things are starting to be "normal" (by who's standard???) again. I'm working on the Dotee's now. Hope my recipients like them!! hint, hint...play pretty now!! lol

Getting a little worried here in NC, My
Dotees should have arrived at their new homes by now!



Ninnie

This hip Dotee arrived from RuthCamp. Isn't she great? So artsy. Check out her pierced nose and glitter make-up! She's having fun "hanging out" in my studio.

Thanks again, Ruth. You outdid yourself!

Another cute one Ruth. But she looks cute in your studio Chele.

I'm glad you like her, I had fun making it.....I visited the dollar store today and picked up a variety of embellishments. :lol: :lol: :lol: so wait till next motnth :wink: :wink:

GRRRR ARG!!! My dolls are still waiting to be finished. They are all done except for the hair, which was suppose to arrive in the mail two days ago. But no!!! So I emailed the company asking why my package hadn't arrived. I paid extra to have here by the 28th at the latest!! I get a response from them that they had a delay with the products and they are shipping them to me tomorrow....sure would have been nice if they had sent me an email letting me know about the delay!!! What a pain!!!!

So....my dolls will be late getting sent out. Pam and Linda I am very very sorry!!!!!!!! They are super cute dolls and will be worth the wait, I hope :roll:

no problem, don't let their hair stress you!!

bump :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Those are all sew cute! :lol:

Great Doll Ruth, very sparkly! I like her.






Ninnie

Waiting for my Dotee's to show up here is like waiting to give birth. AGONIZING!!!!!

Not sure what the theme for June is. I think it hasn't been decided yet.
