Here is the Amazing Zombie I Received in the Swap

Isn't he just the cutest guy ever! My swap partner made me this cool zombie based on Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Here are the rest of the goodies I received:

Thank you to my wonderful swap partner Jill for such a fun zombie and amazing box of zombie goodies!!

AFancifulTwist.com is Hosting a Halloween Party!

I am so excited! Vanessa over at AFancifulTwist.com is hosting her 7th annual Halloween Party and I am definitely joining in on the fun! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I have lots of spooky cool ideas already in the works... I've kind of been waiting for her to announce this :0)

Be sure to check out Vanessa's site for inspiration, amazing photographs and of course for all the information on this hauntingly good blog party - then on October 25th come on over and join me as I celebrate my favorite time of the year. There will be good fun, tempting food and of course a really cool give-away!

Here She is... My Creation for the Zombie Swap

Coraline Doll

One of the "zombies" my swap partner was interested in was a Coraline doll. Coraline - the doll - is sort of a zombie and I had so much fun making her. I know she isn't gory and dripping blood but she really didn't want to be and I couldn't risk making her mad!! I'll post a lot more pictures of the making of this sweet girl soon.

Also,  My studio looks like a fabric/craft store exploded in it but lots of great things are happening, I can't wait to share some of them with you. I have a Santa Claus that is sculpted and ready for clothes, an angel that started out as a Santa but took a girly turn and two fun pumpkin head dolls that will be getting their costumes this weekend.

Check back soon

Arts and Crafts Fair Update

I was accepted into the fair :0)

That is one of the reasons it has been so quiet here lately but not the only one! I am also getting ready to launch my Sunflower House Art Facebook page AND I've updated my logo so once I finalize everything I'll be changing the blog header. I LOVE the new look and I can't wait to share it here!

I've also been very busy working on my booth and creating wonderful, sculpted pieces for the show. It's amazing how fast time goes by when there is a deadline looming! Fortunately I work fairly well under pressure.

Here is a picture of Mortimer, from my Mortimer and Friends collection. He was almost complete in a rough sort of way in the picture. Soon I'll share some pictures of a completed Mortimer as well as some more of the pieces I am taking with me.

I've also been busy making preserves. This is the first year I've done that. I am very proud of those preserves. Not only are they pretty, they taste amazing!!!

Lastly I am working on my Animated Zombie swap. Since my partner was very specific in her Zombie needs and since she has no idea I am her partner, this is all I can share:

Soon I'll show you some of the fun tuck-ins for this swap but for now, that is all. Check back soon for some pictures of the booth and more!
