For the past year or so, I've had little interest in making dolls. I just totally lacked the inspiration to give one life. Well, I guess it's another weird side-effect of the move, but I now am inspired to make dolls. I have all these ideas floating around in my head and I really want to give them life.


My first doll from this new burst of inspiration is Masego. Masego means blessings. She is a natural goddess that loves bringing happiness to everyone she meets. Masego is a pin doll. She's meant to be worn.

If you would like to adopt Masego, she can be adopted at my etsy shop or at Cherie Anne Designs at the York Central Market.

It's summer time here and I've been getting a lot of customers at the stand asking for hemp jewelry. So, I dug out the hemp string I have and began making some jewelry. I forgot how fun hemp can be to work with. There is just something soothing about making lots of little knots. Yesterday I had a knot in my back between my shoulder blades, can we say tension. As I was working on the above necklace, the knots began to loosen up and I began to relax. I find lots of things meditative in the craft word. I just forgot how meditative making hemp jewelry is. Now I just need to find a way to make jewelry in traffic.
