mary Vogel Lozinak Making art dolls without all the sewing!

Making art dolls is just fun! Sewing the little arms and legs, turning them, ironing them~I can live without that! Embellishing, dressing, making faces, hats, wings: that's where the fun starts. Turning the long legs is pure torture. I do it because I want to make dolls. A w… Continue

goldiez The Laundry Room

My laundry room is in desperate need of a makeover... and I do mean desperate! We live in an old house from the 1920s (which I love dearly), but the basement is a bit dark and dreary. It's not at the top of our priorities right now, since we're starting on another renovation project in a different part of the house. But... that doesn't keep me from looking for ideas for when we do have time to overhaul it......read more on our Vin… Continue

Charmings My Life as a Washer Woman

I have to apologize to my dear readers for the long delay in finishing this story. I finally figured out that I was delaying writing this blog because I didn’t want to revisit the tedious process of getting the clothes clean. How silly is that? It’s not like I have to spend another 3 days with my hands in the sink. And yes, it did take the better part of 3 days!… Continue

goldiez Taking My Etsy Photography Outside - New Items to be Listed

I have been struggling with finding a good spot for shooting my Etsy photos. I am not sure if other Etsy sellers take as many pictures as I do. I think part of the problem is that my home has warm colors and is not well lit. This last week the sun was shinning so nicely that I decided to take my photo shoot outside. I was quite impressed with the shots. Read more at… Continue
