My attempt to make a hat

This was so much fun and not as hard as I thought it would be.Boy if I can get this I could make all kind of style hats.I have a few pics for you to see and then I will take a pic of what it looks like finished.

I used a piece of felt I had and thinned some glue with water.If you do this be sure your glue will dry clear.I would have used Modge Podge but could'nt find it and did'nt want to run clear to town.I'd use this again cause I think it came out fine with just the glue and water.Then I found a bowl about the size I wanted to fit top of my dolls head.I gave it a couple coats and let dry in between coats.It came out really stiff...By the way cover the bowl with plastic wrap or the felt will stick to it.......

After it was good and dry I trimmed it off.Now to the fun part decorating it.I will have to take more pics this evening so you see how it turned out.I'llpost them tonight or tomorrow..

Have a great day and if you care to share any ideas I'd love hearing from you........

So much pain !!!!

I think I have a pinched nerve in my neck and it's driving me crazy with pain.This has been going on for about 5 days now and it's not getting better.My DH took me to the chiropractor yesterday.He said I'll probablly have to go back a few more times.It did seem a little better when I left his office but then started up again.The pain pills just take the edge off I am afraid to take any more.I have doll I want to work on but can't cause the pain shoots down my arm,or sometimes just aches like a toothacke.Sorry for going on like this just had to vent.Maybe tomorrow will be better after my 2nd Dr.visit...............

Dyeing wool with reg hair color

It's been on my mind to try to dye some sheeps wool with reg hair color.I used a cheap brand and it worked to my surprise.Next I want to try dyeing some white wool with a blonde color.I have some white wool here just have to find it.Now that I have a room of my own to work in I am trying to get everything in it's own place(easier said then done for me)lol...

Ok this was a golden blonde that I used a brown on,I only did half of the strand so you could see the difference too.The bottle of Excellence in the background isn't what I used on this one....

It turned out good.Next time I think I'd get a darker brown for the look I wanted,but it does look and feel real good.You can see where a little of it is lighter.I guess I did'nt get it as covered as I thought but at least I'll know what to do next time.A better brand of color might have done better too with the coverage....... Well have a great day and happy dolling.............. Diane

We lost our little furbaby this passed week...

Trying to get back to things since we lost our little dog.She has been a part of our lives for 11 years.She was my shadow followed me everywhere and it's so hard not having her here with me.
The Lord was merciful to us when the time came.We did'nt have to take her to the vets which scared her to death,and my husband and I was right there with her.She made 3 little sighs and she was gone.Thank you Lord.......
I would like to share a pic of her with you but just not ready to look at them yet maybe later.We have been through this before with our other pets but this was the hardest of all.I really don't want to go through it again,but how do you tell this to a little boy.He took it pretty hard as well as my husband but time does have a way of healing things.
I am trying to get back to my doll making it's coming back a little each day........Have a great day and God bless.............
