Love the skelly in the bkack dress! Can't wait to see all you create!
These Round Head Pumpkins & Skellies are my all time favs! They are the whimsical style that I love!
This is spooky. We are of a like mind, apparently. Earlier this morning, I made a round muslin head and stuffed it. I then decided to make it into a pumpkin head doll. Then I went to your blog and found the same type of doll that I hope to make. Stay tuned. I may need your help. Connie Hindmarsh

I am such a fan of your work!
I am loving those skellies! Brilliant work! One day I hope to own one of your wonderful creations.
