Not forgotten....

My dear friends..no I have not forgotten about you..!
Its been hard to come here for a while and i think I owe you and explanation.
my comfort doll project in the area where I live was shot down. had radio and newspaper here. Offered people to come to my studio and help making them.Asked for donations in material ...had 3 reactions in total.SOOO sad..i think. On top of that I tried to involve our local high school. Had someone here for that who toke some dolls and hearts, to show the group that does the charity projects...that was 3 months ago. Never seen dolls back and heard from the school ever again. Now I am not the person who will go and keep asking them for the dolls back and or if they still want to be involved. But it was all kinda depressing.
Then if that was not enough, I woke up one morning with only half the use of my left hand left.
(and i am left handed). That was really scary!. It is getting better now and I might be able to work in my studio again in a week or soo.
I hope you all understand that I have not been able with body and mind for a while to produce. It was all to much...sorry.
Making my way back to be inspired and produce seems to be a longer road then I expected...but I am fighting cause I want too.
hope to see you all soon again!!
Andrea.

This is my priority at the moment..sorry...

Dear friends..hope this post finds you all well!
Have the need to share this with you....I have started a program to support cancer patients.
The local radio and newspaper have been involved and so is the local high school.
I want to make as many of the dolls, like the ones that I am posting as possible and keep sending them to our Rexburg oncology clinic. Who will distribute them to thier patients. For the man..we will make hearts that will be embellished appropriately. Dont really think they would want dolls..lol.
The media is putting out a call for help on materials for making them and embellishing them. I have also offered for people to come to my studio to help making them if they do not want to make them at home. Its all just from a brainstorm that now is building into a hurricane..lol.
I will be posting more about the project in the time to come but right now really feel I have to do this . I am trying to keep the dolls simple but still pretty to look at.



Any input from you guys about what else or how or anything you can come up with would be really very appreciated.
Plz let me know what you think..I so aprreciated you guys with all your input!!
That's it for now....back to the studio......the next batch has to be ready on Monday...thats when I will drop them of.
Big HUG..to all of you..
Andrea.

Back from the trip!

Hello every one hope this post finds you all well!
We came back from our trip to California and boy..is it cold in Idaho..lol.
The part of cali that we visited was very dry and I did not take a lot of pictures there. On the trip itself on the other hand I got to take a lot of pictures and would like to share some of them with you. Some were taken from the car while driving, so you will see the rail..lol.
Please fell free to download them if there is anything you like and could use. Would love to see the end product!
Hug,
Andrea.

Hubby and I are leaving Friday for California...San Diego...to visit our son who is stationed in the Navy there. We will be gone for 10 days...both of us need a break from this years challenges.
I wanted to write to you my friends that I have not forgotten about you. Will use my trip to learn how the camera works and be running fully loaded when we are back. I see this trip as an end too all the trouble we went thru here this year and a new start to my art. We will come back refreshed..loaded with pics..and inspiration.

From one thing into the other.....

My dear friends, I really hope this post finds you all sound and well!!
It is true its been going from one thing into the other, like a never ending story!
Every time we think we have solved one problem the next shows up. Have not forgotten about the blog or you my friends. Just have not been able to get to it.
Now its clearing up here ( for now ..lol), my camera is refusing to totally do anything..
With totally..I mean its dead...deceased, kaputt...!!
The saddest part if all is , that I have been creating some things and wanted to post them. Yeah right...soooo not happening today or tomorrow since I do not have money to buy a new one.
There is the option of lending a camera and I think that's the route I will proceed in for now.
Wanted to let all you wonderful people know that I have not forgotten or were giving up...just..well I just hope you all understand.
Will be back with pics soon!
Love you all and thanks for all you support!!!
Andrea.
