Twilight Inspired Dolls For Sale!

The dolls are in the TwilightMOMS.com shop now. While I am a busy snowbunny in school, the TwilightMOMS have agreed to sell them from their online store so they will not be available in my etsy shop. Other non-Twilight items may be available in my shop from time to time, but all Twilight related merchandise can be found through TwilightMOMS.

Therefore, they will be in charge of shipping and payment, etc.

These dolls make a perfect Christmas present for that special Twilight fan in your life, or for yourself! So bounce like an elf on over to the shop and grab one, two or a few!

Also, they have the few Twilight Inspired Christmas cards that are remaining.


You can purchase them at this link: Twilight Christmas Cards. After these sets run out they will be gone for good so get them while you can!

*Note: Prices are higher than normal because they include shipping. There are very limited quantities of each doll available for shipment in time for Christmas. If these sell out, all other orders will be pre-orders and will not ship out until late January/early February!!!

Breaking Dawn Doll Line-up!

Here is the new Bella doll. No longer a Chew Toy, she is now Mrs. Cullen. She is in her honeymoon attire and I have now dubbed her "Mrs. Unreliable". I might even do a new and improved Vampire Bella for Part 2 of the movie!

Ah, so in love!


This is the ultimate Wedding Set, the new Mr. and Mrs. Unreliable in their wedding get-up.

They even get elegant butt tags. Hee hee.


And last but not least, the crowning glory of Mr. and Mrs. Unreliable,

Mini Unreliable Half-breed (aka Renesmee).

There are two variations of this doll - one in a pink and green dress and another in a blue and white dress.

*Something special to note about this doll - since Renesmee is supposed to have her father's hair, this doll's hair has literally been cut from the scraps left over after hours of cutting out her father's hair (Little Unreliable Vampire). Furthermore, her dress and tights (both versions) have been cut from my daughter's out-grown baby clothes. I truly hope she will be cherished and enjoyed for she carries little pieces of my treasured memories.

With her favorite pal/pet, Jacob.

These two pictures with daddy have to be my most favorite. I die a little everytime I see them together. Can they get any cuter?

And here are some family pictures showing the different color combinations when they are all together.

The entire line-up for sale at the TwilightMOMS shop:

Happy Breaking Dawn!

My Dollies Have Been Yahooed!

Yes, folks, The Black Pumpkin dolls were spotted in a Yahoo Movies video with my friend and fellow TwilightMOM, Charlotte! She has the raddest Twilight room you have ever seen, which includes my Edward in his blue pea coat and an older version of Alice in her Twilight-colored outfit. They sit atop one of her many bookshelves filled with Twilight memorabilia and are the bookends to her Twilight hotwheel collection.

Sweetness. You can view the video here.

And I'd like to give a shout-out to Charlotte who did us TwilightMOMs proud and showed the world what a REAL TwilightMOM is: beautiful, sophisticated, intelligent, crafty, friendly, and fun who is also a great wife and mom and happens to have Twilight as her hobby. If this is her trophy room, I'd say she's a true champion.

Way to represent, girl!!
p.s. pictures of the Renesmee doll coming early next week!

New Doll in the Works

Soooooo... it's been a while. But I am back to blogging. This will now become my main blog. And I have a new doll to share.

I stopped blogging last December and put my shop on a very long vacation. I am currently in school and working part time and have 3 kids to keep up with so there was no time to work on dolls or anything else for the shop. I DID end up making those Harry Potter dolls for a friend for Christmas. They were a custom request that I fully intended to start selling in the shop but all my other responsibilities got in the way. Someday they might make it in there, but I will definitely post pictures of them here for all to see because I was so darn proud of myself.

I do, however, have a new doll I am working on. She is another Twilight doll, little Renesmee. Here are some pictures I have gathered from the internet for inspiration:

That one on the bottom right is of Emma, my friend Angela's daughter and an artist by the name of Lina has used her likeness in a painting she did of Renesmee. The big one (and two others) are of Mackenzie Foy, the actress playing Renesmee in Part 2 of Breaking Dawn, however, I had NO idea she was until after I chose all her images and went searching for her name to include in this post. I just liked her face that much so of course, I think this is a brilliant choice by Summit. The others I thought were just as inspiring.

And then there is this one, which I couldn't resist because it's just way too cute and anime.

The trick to getting this doll right is all in the eyes and hair. I need to find the right amount of curly and it's going to be tricky using felt and those eyes have to be able to reach into your soul.

I'll be sure to post pics when I am finished with her.

Thank you and Happy 2010!

New Dolls!

Finally here and in the shop!

Meet the new version of Tiny Dancer, complete with an accessory for you!

This Tiny Dancer is inspired by Alice from the Twilight series of books by Stephenie Meyer. Her body is made from blue corduroy and hair and pants from felt. Her face is hand painted by me. Her outfit was inspired by an outfit worn by Ashley Green from the movie, The Twilight Series: New Moon.

Alice loves to dress you up so Tiny Dancer sports a removable silk scarf that you can wear too - tie it in your hair or wear it around your neck in all sorts of ways. (See post below this for pictures of me sporting the scarf)

We all know how helpful Alice can be and so is this doll! There is a small string tied to her wrist that fastens to a button on her opposite hand so that her hands can be clasped together and this allows her to hold small objects for you or to hold onto Chill Pill's arm.

Now meet Chill Pill!

Chill Pill is inspired by Jasper from the Twilight series of books by Stephenie Meyer. He's "Chill" because anyone he meets is calmed by his very presence yet he's also a "Pill" because of his appetite control issues. He sports an outfit made of gray felt reminiscent of a Confederate soldier uniform.

He even has crazed out hair and eyes that seem to hypnotize me. He is just oh, so cute!

I snagged these buttons a few years ago. I've always loved the unicorn and lion crest but had no idea what project to use them for. This doll seemed like a good fit - he needed buttons that looked "official".

Just an FYI: My shop will be closed starting Monday, December 21st - January 4th, although I may open up a little early depending on how fast I can get my house organized.

Yes, Christmas break is the official *Project Organization* for my office which I now dub

"The Enchanted Witchery".

Yet not so enchanted right now. =/

Happy Holidays!!

New pendants and a slight delay

I should know by now that these shop updates usually take me about 6 hours, depending on how many photos I need to edit. So, if you were following along today, you probably got bored waiting for new things to post in the shop. So sorry...

Here are pictures of the new Lost Moon pendants and earrings...

I was able to get everything new up except the dolls. I was sewing as I was posting and when I got to the face of the Alice doll I drew the nose too high. She ended up looking quite snobby and we can't have that. Alice needs to have a friendly expression, in the very least. So now I have to wait until the disappearing ink dries to finish painting her face.

I will be posting her and the new Jasper doll "Chill Pill" tomorrow after I can take some decent pictures.

However, I have to give you a little preview of the Alice doll. Actually, it's not a preview of the doll, it's of an accessory that she comes with.

After all, wouldn't Alice be the first to help you accessorize?

I had fun tonight with her scarf....

It's a scarf that both the doll or you can wear in all sorts of fashionable ways:

See you tomorrow and here's hoping her face will behave.

Little Unreliables Christmas Plaques!

Most of you have seen my Twilight inspired Christmas Postcards. They are prints made from the original paintings I did on these wood plaques. I am selling these original paintings in my shop update tomorrow, however the cards will still be available now through December, as well as holiday seasons to come and I will also be selling prints, print sets or other various items featuring these Christmas characters in the future too. So they won't be gone forever, but how nice to own an original! The plaques themselves are so cute, they would make great Christmas decorations.

Little Unreliable Angel Vampire

5x7 acrylic on wood

*The back of all the plaques will have their corresponding Christmasy greeting as seen on the back of the postcards. The greetings will be handwritten by me complete with my signature.

Back of this plaque: "Oh, come, let us adore him!"

Back of plaque reads: "Jacob with your nose so bright, won't you guide the dog sled tonight?"

Little Unreliable Santa Vampire

I love the little swirls on his hat I was able to create with the paint.
