Well, this must be my year as caretaker, as thats all I seem to be doing since the beginning of this year! It leaves me precious little time to do anything else, and I've sorely neglected my poor little blog. Between careing for my 84 year young mother who had a stroke after christmas to my husband who recently had a new bionic knee replacement. I'm a bit burnt out!! Plus trying to finish some dolls that were promised last year..(thank you to those who patiently waited in the wings while I dealt with life)! And..trying to get my doll for the Japan show finished and mailed so it would arrive in time.!
Yeah..I am happy to say it did arrive safely and all is well..for this moment! LOl!
Here is a link to the show in Japan. There are some wonderful artists included and I am honored to be among them.
Her name is Victoria Vampire,:
"Little Victoria wanders alone at night looking for someone tasty to bite"!
She measures 12" tall and wears antique fabrics and carries her little ghost dolly along on her outings. If you might be interested in having her come to haunt your house, email me at faeries16@hotmailcom and I can give you the contact info.
In the meantime Ms "P" has been very quite..it makes me really nervous, especially when the lights flicker and I hear crackling lightening like noises and hidious laughter coming from the back room!!!!
I am lighting my religious candles covering myself with protective oils, and calling in all protective saints and any one else that can bring protective energies to prepare me for what MS "P" might be boiling up in her little dark corner of the room....BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID!!!
This is what happens when she does not get the attention she requires..does anyone have a spare suit of armour????
Happy Hauntings, Gail

Gail, it is great to 'see' you posting here again. I was wondering how you were doing with the caretaking of your mom - and I can only imagine how it has been by throwing your hubby into the mix. (Is there anything worse than a recuperating and/or sick man?)
Little Victoria is a charmer and I know she will be a huge hit in Japan. Thanks for the link of the show, such extremely talented artists!
WB, Gail. Love her!

Stay stong! and as for Miss P- next time you see her napping, just put a ring of salt around her! lol- that will keep her in line! and you safe :0) that and some peanut butter: hee hee! :o)

Hi Gail... you must be burned out....
And Ms. P is probably in a tisy state... for lack of attention.
I'm sorry that you've had so much to deal with...
I just talked to a friend that got a round trip ticket from Seattle to Boise for $117! Now if I could get that price I'd come visit you!!!

Gail,
HUGS to you for all your strength. Maybe P is just catching up on your work for you? Ha Ha....Im glad all is well....Missed you...
Smiles,
Sonia ;)
Ahhhh, you are amazing!
I have to say, you are a saint. I know the realities of caregiving to infirm and elderly, and it's so very, very taxing. Nice to see you are keeping a sense of humor about it, don't ever lose that.
Your doll is so wonderful, I just love her costuming!
But she's so sad. Tell her it'll be okay.
Gail, it is so wonderful to see another of your delightful dolls. You, Miss P. and your dolls have been missed, but family matters must be attended to - no one can care for loved ones better.
Thanks for taking time to show us Victoria. She is going to be a big hit at the show!
Karen
sending you much love & peace in your current caretaking roll ... I, for one, will always be back for a visit when you are ...
Victoria is a treasure and her wee ghostie has me quivering!!
Oh my goodness! Victoria is beautiful~and I adore Aggie. What's a girl got to do to get her hands on one of your ghosties? Clean your house? Free nursing advice? Voodoo? Just let me know!
Hugs,
Layla
I have been followed by your creativity, and very happy that now I can watch the process of building from the inside!
Exquisite!
Congratulations on accomplishing so much during a chaotic time. I wish you and your family the best and I'm so glad you are back! Your doll is wonderful and the colors are perfect. They are going to love her at the Japan show!
Hugs

Hope you are doing well, good luck with the Japan show it looks like you are in good company -- its hard to keep my mouth closed when I look over that artist like

Kamila
Great to see a new Ghostie. She is delightful!
Great show!!!!! I see a lot of my fellow Dutch doll artists participated to.
I hope you can take some time for yourself now to take some well deserved rest!
Greetz Lydia

Gail,
The show in Japan has many wonderful dolls. Ah, but Victoria stands out amoung them all! None can match her soul!
I hope your family feels better soon and you can return to your creations and the anxious Miss P!
