My name is Marilyn but I am often called the doll lady as I have been making dolls for 17 years. If you go to my website, www.classysassydolls.com you will see I have been making dolls from all periods of history. they are soft sculpture and large. However, I am at the end of that period in my life, as the economy is so bad dolls do not sell well. So other then making dolls for gifts, I have stopped making dolls.
I do all kinds of crafts, right now I am going into portrait drawing. I also make funny cards using people's picture in the card, I crochet for the premi babies at the hospital and for shower gifts, and this last Christmas gave my grandchildren an afghan as a family gift.(8 of them)surprised to hear how much they liked this gift. The afghans were all different and in the colors of their living rooms.
I have also started writing a children's book, this is a lot of fun, and you have to be creative in your thinking and sometimes this does not happen and you have to stop a while until it comes back.
I will try any craft that is within my income, and I love doing this, althought some are just too expensive, so, I try to make it in a cheaper material, and if that doesn't work out, back to the drawing board. :-)

craft interests: crochet, embroidery, gifts, home decorating, restyle
