Im really terrible about blogging. Perhaps it has to do with my busy life of raising a child with special needs, crafting, painting, and oh yeah, taking care of a house. Personally I would be much more content to craft all day then mop floors and do other necessary household chores. But I don't like living in a dirty house. So I try to balance it out.
Anyhoo......with that said here I am. And I am going to tell you that I am doing this new project called The Great American Doll Craft Challenge. It something I came up with to challenge myself to creating doll items for American Girl dolls. If your not familiar with American Girl, perhaps you should consider that a blessing. They are very expensive and become very addictive.
So Ive gone and crafted many doll things. Doll clothes many and some accessories. But Im gearing myself up for more involved projects.

Julie's egg chair has to be one of my favorites. And since my little sweetpea is getting Julie for her birthday, I wanted to do Julie stuff lately.
The egg chair is not for the crafty weak. It is a long time consuming project that involves getting your fingers cut and bruised. And if your the type who slaps a sticker on something and call it a craft, then you'll just need to move on. This is a project for the crafting die-hards.
Im in the process also of writing a book for all my doll crafts to go into. Patterns and tutorials for some easy peasy stuff to more elaborate things, like the egg chair.
So bear with me. Good crafting is like fine wine, you need to sip it and savor it.
