2012-01-19T13:48:00.000-08:00

I wanted to offer a sweet little something to display around Valentine's day or that you could give to that person who holds your heart!

I know, I know. He is supposed to be WALKING in a winter wonderland...but this guy has way too much to do to be that casual this time of year! He is truly a well rounded, 3 dimensional guy! You can see all of him on PFATT Marketplace this month!

A QUAINT BUNNY AND A VERY CHARMING SHARK

2011-11-01T21:24:00.000-07:00

This is Felicity Winterberry and Wee Winnie. They too, were caught in the early Autumn freeze! They can be found on TDIPT Mercantile/Confounded Concoctions.

My grandson's first Trick or Treat night! This was actually only one costume change. He also made the rounds in a duck costume and wore his Halloween PJ's!

Here Come The Santas! (plus a teeny tiny fall sale!)

2011-10-22T08:40:00.000-07:00

Here Come the Santas!

These are the first of the season and I have made them with a twinkle in their eyes and a bit of a giggle!

All of them have Naughty/Nice lists that I am happy to PERSONALIZE!! Just let me know prior to shipping.

They are quite large as ornaments go, they range between 8 and 10 inches tall. One (or more!) of these characters would look amazing sitting inside a wreath or on a mantle with some greens and glass bulbs.

They were all created with amazing detail to reveal their whimsical personalities!

The price is $42 each plus $8 shipping. As always I am glad to combine shipping on multiple purchases.

Email me at folkartwnch@aol.com or folkartwnch@comcast.net with any questions.

Last but not least are the poor little critters that just have not found a neighborhood to treat in. (Or trick...). The end of the season is just in reach so I am offering these babies at a great discount. I am marking them down from $36 to a teeny tiny $24 plus shipping!! Shipping via Priority Mail will be $8. I want to ship priority so that they get there in time for the candy corn and Snickers! Again, contact me at the email above for purchase!

Fall Has Fell!!

2011-10-15T11:23:00.000-07:00

I will spare you from the "I am a bad Blogger" speech! I have been working double time to get some new items on Ebay. I am back to making dollies full time again and hope to be very productive. Hope to be....

I have bunnies and bats and a really scary lady make do (bad botox experiment) on EBay right now. Ya gotta read the scary lady's story...there is a moral to it!

Hoping to take a break tomorrow and am determined to make a big batch of applesauce tomorrow. What is your favorite fall thing to do?

The Ebay link is at the bottom right of the page!

New Post??

2011-07-01T07:37:00.000-07:00

Ha, first new post since February 9th? That is just pathetic on my part!

I have so many reasons! First, a new first time grandson and all else pales to that!

I will be opening my first Etsy store here shortly! I am very glad about that because I can offer some smaller, more affordable items on there. We all need more affordable, for sure!

I made a ton of things for this months TDIPT release, so I at least wanted to give you a slide show!

Hop on over to TDIPT to take a look! So much great stuff over there this month!

Don't ask me why the bunnies decided to look so sweet and innocent frolicking on the beach. As I have said before, hubby thinks my latest bunny dolls look like dirty old men dressed in PJ's!

Hey There Delilah!!

2009-02-15T19:04:00.000-08:00

Delilah is my newest fave!! She is currently up for auction on Ebay. I love anything dragonfly...but she just really tickles me!

As a matter of fact....I will be offering her as a PATTERN in the next few weeks. Since I have not done patterns for a few years I wanted to design something just for that purpose. I will be clueing all of my pattern buyers in on some of those tightly kept secrets. Her wings, her crown nd even her cute little nose will all be discussed and detailed in the pattern.

In the meantime, the actual model for the design, Delightful Delilah is up for bids on Ebay! And...come on Spring...we know you are just around the corner!

Time to update!!

2009-02-01T09:36:00.001-08:00
