Meet Elizabeth, I just listed her on eBay tonight. She is the last mourning doll for 2008. Her dress is made from antique black lace that is absolutely gorgeous. I just love the way she turn out.
I am starting to work on some winter dolls now. I have a couple of snow women I am hoping to get done this week. I've learned not to plan to much because real life has a way of changing that. Especially right now, I am getting everything ready for a long snowy and cold winter. I actually love that time of the year. I get more time to work on the things that I love doing. Well, I better be going, god bless, Julie

The Witches Shoe

Coming to Simply Primitives October 1st is this wee little witch Emma who lives in a shoe. Emma is looking for a new home to hang around in. Currently she is hanging around in a tree and we all know that a tree is not a place for a wee little witch to hang. Emma is 7" tall without her hat and 8 1/2" with it. Her shoe is 10 1/2" tall. Emma is completely hand made by me . Enjoy, Julie

Lumina- A Doll to Fall For

Meet Lumina, I just got done listing her on ebay today. She is a beauty as pumpkin dolls go. She is quite spirited and fun loving and enjoys all the wonders of fall. She is all dressed up in her fall splender. She has very small glass seed bead eyes and she is an original and one of a kind. All my dolls are hand made and hand molded by me. They give me great joy in making them.Lumina is the only harvest doll I am going to get a chance to work on. I have two more dolls I will be listing this year and than I'm done until next year. I have christmas presents to finish so I must get going on that. I have got to go now, so I will write soon.God Bless, JulieA close up of Lumina and her hat , don't tell any one but I think she took it from the scarecrow in the garden.

Emma - "A Time To Weep"

I just got done listing Emma on ebay today. Emma is a part of my mourning doll series and the seasons of life. I started making mourning doll seven years ago after the death of my father and sister-in -law. both died in less than amonth from each other from tragic car accidents.Some look at them as sad dolls,but to me they represent a season to life we all share. It is the one true bond that we as human can relate to. We can feel each others pain and sorrow and loss. I am blessed with the love and wisdom that my father gave and many happy memories.So for some they may be sad dolls but for me they are simply beautifuland kindred spirits.
God Bless
