I usually purchase something for myself each month, that’s not a secret. This month’s purchase is a handmade art roll up organizer by Beautiful Dreamer. It’ll be perfect for carrying a few art supplies in my bag.

There are numerous things you can do with these. Carry pens and pencils, knitting needle organizers, purse organizers, baby items, the list goes on. These make nice gifts but I’m keeping mine for myself. There are other roll-ups here that are absolutely stunning.

Teddy Bear Corduroy Lavender Scented. One of A Kind Binky Buddies .

Also listed are several of her other handmade items such as handmade one of a kind Redheaded Stepchild dolls, her classic softies and a lavender infused teddy bear. Her newest line is something every parent knows is needed, something to keep a hold of your baby’s binky. She’s got Binky Buddies. These are handcrafted soft toys for your baby to hug. Each buddy comes with a binky and a ring to keep the binky attached. It’s like two kinds of comfort wrapped in one. Tell me that’s not too sweet for words.

You can find more of Beauty’s work at My Backyard Fort and on Etsy.

I have a theory, if you’re going to purchase items this year as gifts why not purchase from an individual? Make your purchases count for a household instead of a corporation. Buy from someone you are familiar with. Buy handmade.

The second Charlene Doll has been completed. You can see her here. Once you see her you’ll understand why her name is Angel.

This is the second Charlene Doll dedicated to my little friend Charlene.

Doll Playdough Head

So here’s my progress. I’d say the doll is a far step forward from the very first doll I did. I’m still working on her face though. I’ve got eye lashes to add and other small details. She even has hand painted earings. Her face is hand painted.

Since I was doing an all-niter I ended up making a little head with yarn hair out of playdough. See what happens when crafting goes wrong? This, this here, playdough heads, bright orange playdough heads with sunflower eyes and a little black cluster beaded nose. Sleep is a must or other crafts like this may result.
