I feel as though I can divulge all my secrets as it has been quite some time since I have updated my blog. As it is, I shall be smart and not post the Christmas creations I am currently undertaking until after the holidays. However, there are some presently presents that are not so secret, such as my mom's new Elf on The Shelf for her kindergarten class.

| Elfie |
Last year I made Santa (you can't have and elf if there is no Santa).
And then, of course, I have to have gifts for the little girls in my life:
 |
| Raggedy Anne |
 |
| Dr. Who (11th doctor), Lynsie, Casey, Elliot, and Jo |
 |
| Cinderella |
 |
| Kaidence |
And I can't forget about the men in my life:
 |
| Captain America |
 |
| A doctor |
 |
| Sherlock Holmes |
 |
| Dr. Who (of the Matt Smith variety) |
 |
| Loki |
 |
| Iron Man, Captain America, and the Hulk |
 |
| Bob the Builder |
Now that I use a sewing machine they are so much easier to crank out! But there are still places that need hand stitching because it either gives them a little more character, or quite frankly, I have no idea how to do some things on my machine yet. Each doll used to be made strictly by hand and took 4-5 hours to make. Now that I have my sewing machine all set up and mom was nice enough to get all the settings right for me (after a near melt down from her 30 year old daughter), I have cut my time in half!
