There is nothing for sale on this page, it is devoted to crafts I have made especially for a person, or for gifts. It is mainly to illustrate the different aspects of my crafting,

This is a prairie ( sometimes called a pillowcase or christening) doll and papier mache "birth box" (the top has all the birth data recorded around the rim) I made for a niece's first baby. The doll is made from a heirloom pillowcase

These two bears were made from suits that belonged to a friend's departed Mother. She wanted something to give her kids that would always remind them of their grandmother.

These Noah's Ark creations from Jayna James and are decorating the nursery of my heart's delight, my newest great-niece, Gracie. Her mom picked them out and we are slowly adding them to the room.

This Milk Can (my husband who was raised on a farm says it's a cream can) was painted for a customer who wanted a winter mountain scene with a deer anda stream in it.

Okay, I have to admit- THESE AREN'T MY CREATIONS - they are cedar-lined chests my husband has been making for our nieces and nephews. We have 18 (and now great-nieces and nephews). so he is working his way down the line. There are two styles and 5 different stains (he doesn't believe in PAINTED WOOD and we live in the same house). The chest with Sara-a college senior- in it gives an idea of their size. They are all a work of art. If anyone is interested, please e-mail me as to cost.

These are T-Shirts I designed and made for two great-nephews who have a great dad who is Tongan. The shirts read "Tonga's in my Blood" with a cute Tonga boy (who resembles to a great degree Gracie's Dad).

My sister is also pictured here who has two of the best sons-in-law who happen to be Tongan!

How time flies! Gracie just had her first birthday and this was her birthday present from us, a wooden "Noah's Ark Story" book with puzzle pieces designed by Erika Frei, cut and painted by me!

This is a pillow I made for my niece (pictured in the chest below) who granduated this spring from NMU, Summa Cum Laude!. It is a fannel crazy patch in her school colors with pictures of Sara, her roomie and Sara's dad (my bro), the annoucement and the school logo on it.

We are very proud of Sara, she plans on futhering her education and hopes to become a doctor!

A special Tooth Pillow and card I made for a friend whose teenage grandchild was having his 4 wisdom teeth pulled at the same time. It has a cartoon drawing of Toulouse Latrec on the front of the card and it reads "It's hard TOULOUSE 4 teeth at once!"

This is Vacuum Cover I made for a Very Special Customer who gave it to his wife for Mother's Day and she wrote,

"I LOVE IT!

The vacuum cover doll is perfect. She (I named her Diane Dyson) is the perfect color and size. Diane hangs out right where my kitchen and living room meet.

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making my Mother's Day gift. The vacuum cover is one of my best Mother's Day gifts I have ever gotten.

I just have one complaint-Diane does not know how to vacuum by herself."
