I'm making mine with a "tuck-comb" hairstyle. <br />I'm carving her little legs and arms from clothes pins. Not sure how to attach yet? <br />Here's a picture of her so far....

They are so inspiring. I highly recommend them if you're in needing of a little push! I sure was, and these were just the ticket. I've been playing with different style "heads" for starters and cant wait to try more! <span style="font-style:italic;">My own</span> head is exploding with ideas. Thankyou Susanna!<br />Anyway I sure hope you'll let me know what you think of these books and let me know what you have learned along the way!

This is how it must feel to be a bear in wintertime! And what a winter it has been so far. I am a totally solar powered person, so this lack of sun is getting to me and making me feel sluggish. I just seem to shut down when it is gray and cold outdoors. On top of that, my computer was sluggish as well!!! Maybe I caught the bug from it, or vice versa, ha! But my very patient husband bought me a new, and much improved Dell for Christmas!!! I'm still getting the hang of it. <br />In the meantime I did manage to finish up this Itty and her friend (who was in<br />dire need of a makeover btw). You can visit them <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=330300179931">HERE</a> if you'd like.<br />Thanks for visiting!!!!!!!!!!
