Lately

Lately, I have not been making dolls, but I have been making art. I have been working at a home decor chain in Utah called Rod Works for the past 2 years. What a rewarding job! My fellow employees and I unpack boxes of treasures, never knowing what they will be until opened. It's like Christmas! Then we merchandise these goodies, placing them with other like items where we then create displays that invite, excite and suggest, leaving customers with tons of fun, new ideas for their home. When your work is like play - does life even get any better?   

 I have worked in the home decorating industry for the last 12 years. I have been shopping and arranging home decor for most of my life. My mom had an eye for it and has been taking me to gift shop boutiques since as far back as I can remember. After watching the 1980s flick Mannequin, I knew one of my life-long ambitions would be to create store displays.

 The above is one of my last displays. I created it with the help of my co-worker, Ashley, using the Rod Works' signature Frame Rod and Fake Hang.

 I have to admit that I love the little iron owl I added in the middle of this vignette.

And how about hanging this metal wall art upside down? With the leaves hanging down instead of up, it almost reminds me of a tribal necklace.

My last day at Rod Works was last week. I'm staying on the payroll for emergencies but won't be working regularly since I will be starting school full time in the fall. I know I am going to miss this place so who knows? I might just find myself back there again after graduation in 2014.

For now it's on to late summer vacations, then read, study, do an art project, read, study, make more art, etc. Even though this will be crazy with 3 kids to run after, I am looking forward to it with much anticipation. =)

happy summer! 



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!

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!
