Paper piecing

I've been in a rut lately.
Not feeling all that creative.
Feeling that I do not have the ability to compete with all the wonderful crafters/artists out there selling on ebay or other craft sites.

Perhaps it's because my kids have been sick ... I have been sick ... or the weather has changed to ugliness here in the Pacific Northwest.

So, I'm taking a small step back and trying to find my love for the craft.

I've decided to just focus on some paper piecings this week.  Who knows, hopefully soon I'll have that amazing idea for a layout again .... I hope that feeling comes back soon :)

For now, I'll share my love of Raggedy Ann and Andy with you.
I grew up with a Raggedy Ann doll.  Loved her to pieces!   When Tricia at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs came out with her line of "Raggedy" dolls I just HAD to do SOMETHING with them!

Here is what I did:

In the spirit of Thanksgiving:

In the spirit of Christmas:

Of course, there is the original:

And THEN ... I tried something TOTALLY DIFFERENT!  Something that is a totally different style from what I normall do.  I really enjoyed it!  A lot of love and care went into this Bambi set.  I hope you like it!  I'd love to hear your opinions!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.   All of the above piecings are available on ebay if you have any interest in them.
