My Funny Little Valentine...


My Funny Little Valentine,
you make my heart go
pitter-patter all the time!
I seem to need you more and
more each passing day,
And now I can't live without you
so please say you'll stay!
by Flora Thompson

My funny little valentine is now done!!! I have one more doll to finish, we shall see on that one!? Anywho this one is more on the dark/gothic side, but still has the cute element, kinda like my baby gourds? Thank goodness she flowed, otherwise I'd have nothing to put on SpookyTimeJinglesI'm sure the boss Dani of Ambitions Design would not like that!
I can get overwhelmed with so many ideas going on in my head, always unsure about which one will work and how to make it work that I can't see the forest for the trees?..never did get that...still not sure if it's appropriate now either? I'll leave you with some of my befores, the pattern is from an old one that I reworked.


She didn't quite come out like the drawing , I got a bit carried away...
