October Madness

A few months ago, my genius of a mother suggested I make Phina dolls for weddings.  I have been excited about that opportunity since beginning.  I mean, how stinking cute would a little bride and groom doll be of the happy couple?! Just as luck would have it, one of my all time dearest friends got married in October, and I knew that she, of all people, would appreciate the magic of having a mini bride of her own.  I did not, however, realize that her new husband would be just as excited about the dolls, if not more.  During the pre-wedding dinner with his family he had to go get the dolls from the car to show them to everyone at dinner.  All during the reception I kept randomly hearing my name, when I would turn to see what was going on, the groom would be holding the dolls and pointing to me.  So, without further adieu, I present to you The Bride and Groom:

Showing off the rings!

And yes, due to the brilliance of a friend, we recreated some of the couples' engagement photos.

The bride and groom are most definitely some of my favorite creations so far.  I had so much fun with the little details (the bride is taller than the groom in real life and with the dolls).  


When I returned to Denver from being the secret Maid of Honor (or so I pretended to be) at my dear friend's wedding, I had another friend ask me to make her guest sign in book.  I had grand plans and it was going to turn out absolutely amazing!  After late nights at Kinko's, more late nights watching the Vampire Diaries while working on the book, and it not turning out exactly how I had envisioned, I was relieved to find that I am pretty pleased with the final outcome.

 Sorry it has taken me so long to post the latest madness.  If these caught your fancy please take a minute to pass the magic along to someone else, or let me know your thoughts!
