New works in progress~Folk Art coming soon~



Original folk art kitty doll

Its been a busy week working on new designs and some revamped old designs for my next update.Above is a very antique looking kitty,snow white for now without any shading or tabby stripes.She is a new design with a seperate head attatched to the body.Next is my antique style bear,like Maxwell but with a plumper three piece design body.I wanted this new body for him as I tend to make the bodies a tad too thin,then find I have problems with the bear being able to sit once the legs are attatched.This plump fellow will have no problems sitting on his own*~*And the last pic is one of my art doll kitties from a couple of years ago.I am also revamping this design,leaving out the hand painting and focusing on using printed fabrics in all different color themes for spring~fall~Halloween~Christmas and clown styles.There will be kitties,pandas,old time bears and other teddy friend styles.These will be available on a weekly basis in my etsy shop.I have some in progress and will post some pics as soon as I find time.You may have noticed I closed my Big Cartel shop for now.I just find it too hard to have an etsy shop,ebay auctions and a seperate web shop.If I had a clone I migh have been able to pull it off lol.So thats it for now but I will post new works soon.~~~~Sharie

Well my update went pretty well~not as smooth as I had planned due to glitches and then no internet connection but I guess it could be worse.All of the kitties have been adopted but three bears are still waiting for a new home*~*Please visit my ebay auctions http://www.ebay.com/sch/merchant/sharier2005_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ  if you would like to see more photos and descriptions.New kitties will be in the making soon(one is now in progress*~* pics coming soon)~~~Sharie







Sneak peek~bears and kitties update later today in my HW shop~

I thought I would pop in to give a sneek peek of my new bears and kitties that will be available in my etsy Hugs and Whimsey shop later this afternoon.Each creation has been fully redesigned with new head and body styles.I'm really happy with the way they turned out and once everyone has their ribbons~bows and accessories added they will be off to the shop for their update*~*  You can visit the shop here  http://www.etsy.com/shop/HugsandWhimsey I will post more pics of the gang when they are completed!~~~~Sharie

New bears kitties and grandbabies in the making!

Hi everyone!Time has flown by sooo fast since my last post but things have gotten quite busy for me~~I recently found out that I am going to be a new grandma for the first time~~~not once but twice!Both of my sons are going  to be new daddies.....I can hardly believe it!Both at once,I wouldn't have dreamed this would happen in a million years lol.The new mommies birthdates are only one day apart.My oldest has been through so much finding out he did have Lupus and was given meds that made him feel very ill.He is coping and found a new job that is less stressfull and is looking forward to becoming a new father.He and his fiance will be getting married as soon as the new baby arrives.My youngest son and his fiance are staying with me and my husband until they can save up enough money for their own apartment so I turned my new craft room into a sewing/nursery room.This was a challange but I made enough room for everything to fit and be functional at the same tme.On another happy note~~~I have created brand new designs of both bears and kitties,completely revamped from head to toe and they are coming along nicely,almost finished.I have also been focusing on my antique styles of bears,fully jointed but now with a plumper three piece body design.I look forward to sharing new pics of them all in progress in a couple of days*~*Be back then~~~~~Sharie
