The Traveling Doll Project

What is the traveling Doll Project?

This project is a collaboration of artists who are members of the Art Doll Only Team, all working individually on a group doll. Each artists starts a doll, and sends it to one of her team mates, who will continue to work on the doll, then sends it on to the next artist, and so on. This year we have 28 members participating that have been split into 7 teams.

Each doll will take a journey...starting and ending in the same place with a whole new look and story. A journal will travel with each doll that will tell the story from the start, middle, and the end of the dolls adventure.
This blog is a online journal where participants will share the adventure with you.... Currently Cindy is doing a fantastic job showcasing all the artisits ~ go check them out ~ Art Doll Only Traveling Doll Blog.

I have started my doll and journal, it's been great fun so far!  Wish I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow, I'm loving all this doll time!

Hello!

Happy New Year guys and gals! Hope it's a good one for you. I can't believe a month has wizzed by!
This is Jesse, wearing his new hat! very dashing.

I have just returned from visiting my family and friends in England ~ my Grandma is on the mend, out of Hospital, but now has to cope with a Rehabilitation Nursing Home, until deemed fit to return home... at 98 she's doing a fine job!

It was wonderful being home for a while....  I forgot how narrow the roads were, and how many bikes there are!
I can really appreciate the beauty of my hometown Cambridge now, especially since I don't have to deal with the rush hour traffic!

Cambridge City Centre~ market square

Kings College

Never thought I'd miss seeing a telephone box and post box!

and finally, The River Cam.........

Down on the Ranch...

We have new feet!  Stella the Shih Tzu and Ghost the Flame Point Siamese (very posh eh!)

Stella was picked up off the road yesterday by my husband, Jesse - she was munching on a rancid deer carcass, she was covered from head to toe in dirt and smelt so bad!  Her fur was so matted, it was harbouring a million fleas and ticks - no joke - she stood patiently in the bath for an hour whilst I bathed her, and cut out all the matted fur.  Like me, she no longer has long hair (not that mine was matted with fleas!!tee hee) I wished I had thought about taking a 'before' photo...

She is settling in well with our other five dogs, and she loves the cats...  I'm not sure what Stella and Onray were looking at....

Ghost, cat number 10, turned up on our doorstep, very hungry but well kempt!.  I guess he either got dropped off, or re-homed himself.  Either way, he is the most adorable and playful young cat ever!
