This Week seems to have..

slipped right through my hands....I seem to remember Friday and finishing Mr. Zandar (that was last week!) and then all of a sudden here I am and another Friday is upon me.

I had really expected to be in full swing with another doll but seemed to have been side tracked with pattern making. Not such a terrible diversion so Im cuttin myself some slack, :)

I've decided to hone my skills as a pattern maker and have been looking up sites, online classes and just in general, how to's. I'm pretty happy so far with what I've learned from just the how to's online. Of course my mother was well versed in pattern making and did show me how to modify patterns but not the actual process. I wish now that I had actually had her show me how to make a pattern. So a little bit of this and a little bit of that and I may come out with a do-able understanding of how to make a pattern (im hoping the pattern making genes were passed on! :)

I do have some great and exciting news to share though...I have sent my first pictures to the SDA magazine in hopes of being featured or mentioned in one of their upcoming issues! I have sent a few pictures of Zandar and also a few pictures of Ankri, she's the traveling gypsy that I have shown you in past posts. Let's all keep our fingers crossed and our eyes peeled for Zandar and Ankri (on-kree) in a future issue of Soft Dolls and Animals! That would be amazing:D





Well back to pattern making and also a new project, Im thinking a female elf, hmm, yah, I think that's just the right project for me.

Hope you will excuse the sideways view of Ankri, I tried to post it twice in an upright view and no luck, so here she is!

See you all in a few,

Michelle
