For some reason it always seems to take longer than I plan to finish my website...lol. Too many details in the finishing of pieces.


I am very happy with what I produced over the past number of weeks....

• lots of whimsical pumpkin pincushions
• 4 sizes of crows with jointed heads
• a charming soft-sculpture moon wears a top hat with a surprise
• pumpkin head dolls
• 2 autumn garbed teddy bears with elaborate hats ...both one of a kind pieces

...all for your viewing pleasure.

Working like a mad woman ....

Thank you for the wonderful comments. I do apologize for not responding quickly...just too many details in creating and finishing these pieces. I do appreciate your emails ...it keeps my creative juices flowing and heightens my own anticipation of "showing off" what I created during the past few weeks.

Even though I have been busy designing, sewing, assembling etc. I somehow managed to spray my left arm a wonderful Satin finish black..lol. I did get a few strange looks tonite when I picked up a yummy Chinese carry out. Although it did look better than the time I showed up at the Post Office with red, blue and black hands.

Yours in a whimsey, Karen

Finally ....Website Update !
