My Newest Little Doll on Ebay~SOLD for $80.00!




Here she is. : ) And here is her auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251149042644?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
She is an original Enchanted Hollow Designs doll and is one of a kind. I designed her as a companion doll for 16"-18" Ball Jointed Dolls, like Ellowyne Wilde and the incredible ball jointed dolls by Kaye Wiggs, like Layla and Hope.
Her name is Maya and she is fully poseable. She can stand up by herself and sits, etc. She is wearing gorgeous little shoes, removeable clothes and has her own handmade (by me) little tag.
I would love to hear what you think.
I have more companion dolls in the works, plus some new small primitive roundhead dolls.
Thank you all so very much for your love, support, and encouragement.
P.S. Hmmm...........my auction link is not showing up for some reason. I'll get it sorted out but it might take some time. In the meantime, please look on the right side of this blog and click where it says 'My Ebay' and that will take you to my auctions. I truly appreciate your patience with me.

Little Primitive Ghost Boy Now on Ebay!



Remember this little guy? I made him some time ago but have never managed to finish him. My loss is your gain. I just listed him on ebay as a doll for someone to finish, which basically means making clothes for him. He is about 16 1/2" tall altogether and he is very loving and very lonesome. He very much wants some nice folks to adopt him. : )

The Killer Groundhog Makes an Appearance!!!



I'm sorry this pic is a little bit blurry. Isn't this guy something? Doesn't he look full of a "Don't even THINK about messing with me!" attitude?



And, look at the size of him! He is also known (by me) as "Big Granddaddy Groundhog".
He was over near a big ole tree stump on the edge of our property earlier today and I grabbed the camera and managed to get some pictures of him.
Love to all,
Cindy

My Wearable Girl is Now on ETsy

Friday, May 25, 2012

My Newest Creation............

My very latest creation......... This is a doll pin that you wear. I can also convert her to make her into a small hanging ornament. She is called 'Reach for the Stars' and she is one of a kind. She is about 5 1/2" tall. I'm working on getting better pics of her. She will be available on etsy, hopefully today.

Fifty-ONE pounds GONE!!!

Yeah!!!!! Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh!!!!
Yeah, baby. : ) Here are two of the great things I eat every day. These are helping me to lose weight and to keep my Type II Diabetes under excellent control. The first pic shows a bag of the superfood, Chia Seeds....If you haven't tried them yet, run to your nearest organic foods store, vitamin shop, etc. and get some!! While you are there, see if the store carries these WONDERFUL whey protein drinks by Designer Whey. What I do is this: I add about 1 tbsp. of chia seeds to a Designer Whey Protein Drink. Shake A LOT!! Put in fridg for at least 15 mins. During that time, the tiny chia seeds absorb some of the liquid and they puff up a little bit. Then, when you drink the protein drink, it tastes like you are drinking tapioca pudding and it has that same texture of the neat little bump things that tapioca pudding has. It is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I drink this through the day, a few sips/gulps with each snack and, sometimes, a few sips/gulps with my small meals. It depends a lot on what I'm doing on a particular day and also on how much exercising I'm getting that day. Many days, I need to drink more of this mix. These are great and are portable. I never leave home without having one with me as well as a protein bar, some organic crackers and my vital id medical bracelet. The next pic shows the delicious cereal I eat every morning. I only eat 1 serving of it, with enough coffee creamer to moisten it. Many days, I put a few almonds in it. Ummm...Ummmm..... Plus, drink lots and lots of water. : ) Love to all, Cindy

Working on some new things

Yes, indeed I am! I've started a new series of kind of 'artsy' little dolls. I hope to have pics of the first one within the next couple of days. I am also beginning to study the energy of crystals and I am working on my own spirituality as it relates to everything around me. It is very empowering and enlightening and I am enjoying it a lot. Still working on the job stuff and I am also looking into the possibility of financial aid to get some schooling. I am continuing my weight loss and my healthy eating, water drinking, etc., but I had to back way up on the exercise/movement stuff because I've severely strained at least several muscles. Ouchey! One step forward, two steps back as they say.

Photobucket Hello and happy day to all of you, I have such HUGE news of a personal health-related nature. : ) I saw my doctor today and she is soooo impressed with how I am doing. I asked her if I can drop one of the two doses of Metformin (diabetes medicine) I take per day and she said YES!!!! Woo-hoo!! Take that diabetes! I am soooooo proud of myself. : ) Go, me! Loves,

Love to all of those who, like me, are in the process of transforming their lives, and to those who are already living the lives they are meant to be living.

My Cocoon is Changing....

Hello and Happy Sunday, my friends, This is a little difficult to write. I am going through some life challenges which are hard for me. The challenges have been there for a long time, but a light filled pathway has appeared and it is in the process of opening, growing, enlarging. It is so hard to let go and trust that everything is going to be okay if I DO let go of the illusion of security I have been clinging to for so long. Still that is what I must do in order to grow my wings and fly. All support and encouragement during this difficult time will be gratefully accepted. I also want to tell all of you about a miraculous book I'm revelling in. It is called "Growing Wings" by Kristen Jongen (Young-in). I urge all of my female friends to get it and to absorb it. Love to all, The transforming Cindy

FORTY-FOUR POUNDS GONE!

Hello to all! It's been a while since I've posted. Been busy losing more weight. : ) Hear ye, hear ye!!!! FORTY-FOUR pounds are gone, never to be seen again on this body. Can you believe it? And soon it will be fifty gone. I'm exercising a lot more: active housework and walking primarily. And, believe me things like housework and going to the grocery store, etc. count as exercise! I just went yesterday to get the bloodwork done to check to see if I'm deficient in Vitamin B-12. I'll let you know what the results are. I've been knitting lately. Right now, I'm working on a smallish kitty blanket/front window ledge cover for our front bay window. It's done in a thick rosey purple boucle baby yarn and a multi cream/pale yellow/pale blue/pale coral ombre soft worsted weight yarn. I'm doing garter stitch and it's really pretty and kind of thick and plushey for the cat children to lie on while they sun themselves in the window. :) I'm also working on another knitted kitty blanket that is bigger than the purple-ish one. This one is done in a lime green bulky Lion Brand Homespun yarn combined with a chunky ombre yarn that is jewel tones: brilliant turquoise, matte black, purple, green, royal blue. Need to get pics! I'm reading several books right now: "Rivermarked" by Patricia Briggs, "Spirit Bound" by Christine Feehan, and "The SS Brotherhood of the Bell: The Nazis' Incredible Secret Technology" by Joseph P. Farrell. I'm also re-reading The Gabriel Method by Jon Gabriel (weight loss and life change). Jon's book is absolutely life-changing. If you don't have it yet, go get it! Jon has a website at www.gabrielmethod.com Love to all, Cindy

Dancin' and Living Joyfully These Days and A LOT Lighter : )

Cindy Update!!! Thirty-seven pounds GONE!!! Soon to be FIFTY. : ) I've also been learning some interesting things of late. One thing I've learned about is the prevalence of vitamin B-12 deficiency, especially in older folks and those who, like me, have diabetes and are taking metformin. I have me bloodwork order to test for vitamin B-12 deficiency and I urge all of you to get tested to check for Vitamin B-12 deficiency.
I'm also reading a great book called "Stop Aging, Start Living", and you don't have to be middle-aged or older to get and read this book and to incorporate at least some of the suggestions into one's daily life.
Let's see, what else...my doctor was really impressed with me when I saw her and I am so thrilled. My A1C was 5.6!! It was 7 when I was diagnosed with diabetes at the beginning of the year. Go me, go me, go me............: )
Oh, also, I colored my hair this past Sunday and it is now a VERY dark brown. NO grey anywhere. : ) I don't know if I've told you that my hair is very long--a little bit past my waist. I'm going this Sat. am to have it at least trimmed and I might get a bit more than that done. Still looking at hairstyles. : )
Well, I'm going to go back to looking at nail polish colors. Man, I am having FUN.
Yeah, I'm SOLID, SOLID as a rock. : ) Song playing on radio. : )

Wonderful Day AND Thirty-THREE pounds GONE!

Yes, indeed! I broke through that plateau! See me dancin'? (BTW, I love to dance, but hubby doesn't want to. : ( ). I had to cut my food/drink intake a bit more to do it, but I did it. : ) Soon I'll have 40 gone. That is going to be a huge achievement.
I got thru the bloodwork okay earlier and I really hope my numbers are doing great.
It's a great day today. I bought a copy of 'Simple Abundance' and started reading it. I read some of it years ago and just feel like I want to get into it again.
The Hollow is absolutely GORGEOUS today.

Saturday, March 31, 2012

Hit a &*!!+%% Plateau

No more pounds off as yet. : ( Not too happy about it. It really is true what they say about hitting plateaus and all that.
It is GOING to come off. It's just a matter of time. I go for labwork stuff on Monday. I have to be fasting. I hope I don't pass out or anything. Then, I see my lady doctor next week and we''ll see how I'm doing. I hope the labs will show that I'm making good progress on the weight loss and on controlling the diabetes.
Wish me luck on Monday. I absolutely HATE and detest the bloodletting.

Spring Cleaning--Going through lots of stuff, etc.

Working hard here at the Enchanted Hollow. Spring cleaning is in full force! Keep watching my ebay listings because I am weeding out a lot of cool stuff!!
In other Enchanted Hollow news: The weather people said it's supposed to rain today but the sun comes out periodically and, overall, it's a beautiful day here. Who can figure the weather people out?
My cat children, Maggie and Chrissy, were meandering around, making sure
that our other cat boy, Tiger, isn't lurking somewhere. Tiger adopted us
when we were living in our interim apartment (between houses), but he
refuses to adapt to Maggie and Chrissy so we keep him separated from them.
We 'rotate' them. When it's Tiger's 'turn' to have the run of the house,
Maggie and Chrissy stay in my bedroom. When it's Chrissy and Maggie's turn,
Tiger stays in Albert's bedroom. And, you know, it works well. No one gets
hurt or killed. Chrissy and Maggie are very amiable, but Tiger will go
after them and his intentions don't seem playful. Tiger is so affectionate
with us, though. Except when he gets what my daughter calls "bitey". Then,
it's best for him to have some alone time. : )
Right now, Maggie and Chrissy are having their afternoon naps in their respective favorite spots on our sectional sofa here in the living room. I think the 'meandering' tired them out!
Albert is SUPPOSED to work on our still unfinished kitchen today. I am
going to be so happy when it gets done.
I'm trying to figure out what creative 'something' to work on. I think I'm going to start on a doll that is going to be a surprise present for a friend. The 'choosing which doll to make' is a LOT of fun!
I don't know if I've told my bloggie friends how much I love Al Green's music, especially the song, 'Let's Stay Together'. I'm mentioning it because it's playing right now. Yes, I'm definitely an early '70's girl. : ) It seems like the older I get, the more nostalgic I get for the 'old days'. : )

Unfinished Doll on Ebay for you to Complete



Hello everyone and I hope you all are having a great day,
I just wanted to let you know that I'm listing a bunch of doll related items on ebay and one of them is this pretty cloth doll that I was working on recently. I'm sort of getting away from cloth dollmaking these days and I don't think I will be finishing her. So, if any of you are interested, here is her listing on ebay:

Pictures of my Monster High girl, Willow Elizabeth




Here she is! Isn't she gorgeous? Two of the pictures show her wearing the pale green nightgown I am working on for her. It isn't quite finished yet. I am currently sewing tiny iridescent beads onto the lace shown and I will be adding a gorgeous trim. I designed the nightgown myself because I absolutely could NOT find a pattern for one for these dolls.
I want to make another nightgown for her just like this one only a different color and with long sleeves.
Love to all,
Cindy

Another bit of info about the weight loss stuff I'm doing

Hey there,
Okay, number one, I drink A LOT of water all day, every day.
Second bit of info about what I'm doing: I eat breakfast right after I get up. I never used to do that. I would always have a cup of coffee first and eventually get around to breakfast.
Those days are gone for good. Now I eat breakfast and take my meds first thing. Breakfast is one serving (about 3/4 cup, maybe a wee bit more) of a cereal made by 'Barbara's'. The cereal is called Shredded Spoonfuls-Multigrain. I have a bit of regular Half and Half coffee cream on it, believe it or not, or a bit of milk. And, when I say 'a bit' here, I mean just enough to moisten the cereal.
I also have three apple slices. I get the pre-prepared ones by Chiquita. They are near the produce section in the grocery store and they come in a plastic bag.
THEN, I make my coffee. I use sweetener in it, half and half coffee creamer and 'a bit' of sugar, again believe it or not. By 'a bit' here I mean 1 to 2 scant teaspoons. I had to start doing that because my blood sugar kept dipping too low as a result of taking the Metformin and of restricting what I'm eating. So, now I allow myself to have a bit of sugar in my coffee.
I should post some sort of disclaimer here. I'm telling all of you what I have been doing to lose the weight and fight the diabetes. The things I'm doing may very well NOT be right for others. I truly don't know.
I just know it's working for me.
Another thing I'm doing or, rather, NOT doing. I do not go out to eat now. Well, actually, I DO get a cup of coffee from McDonald's here and there, but I bring it home and put my sweetener and cream and stuff in it here.
I used to go out to eat and get carry out and fast food type stuff all the time, especially since we haven't had a functioning kitchen for the past year.
Not anymore. It's mainly because I'm not sure what would be in the food I would be getting, as far as hidden sugars and hidden fats and that type of thing goes. Diabetics really need to watch that.
Plus, I honestly don't want to face the temptations that would be all around me. Also, if you want a real eye-opener about fast food and restaurant food and what is in the various menu items (even the things you THINK are better for you), look up their nutrition information online. You will be absolutely shocked by the amount of sugars, carbohydrates, and fats that are in just about everything offered in fast food places and in many restaurants. Forget it. Eating that way is what landed me in this boat. (my personal opinion).
I'm sure I will go out to a restaurant or whatever at some point, but when I do, I'm going to be VERY careful about it.
Oh, also, I don't drink alcohol. I've never been big on it so that one wasn't too hard.
Love to all,
Cindy who is 31 pounds lighter than she was and loving it!

Monster High!!!

Yes, it's true.....I've fallen in love with the Monster High dolls, especially the repaints being done. I recently was fortunate enough to win the auction for a pretty Monster High repaint doll who started out as a Draculaura. I'll have to get pics of her asap and post them. I have named her Willow Elizabeth. I am currently happily busy making a traditional looking (maybe kind of victorian looking) floor length sleeveless nightgown for her since I could NOT find one ANYWHERE to buy for her. It is pale mint green with tiny white polka dots, trimmed with very narrow ivory lace trim and I may add another trim. Plus I'm planning to put a lace overlay on the fabric ruffle that will be at the bottom of the nightgown. I am finally almost finished with it and I will post pics as soon as I have them so you can all see.
Loves to all,
Cindy

Now it's Thirty-ONE pounds : )

It truly is. I dropped another one. Hooray!!! Soon it will be forty pounds gone. I feel so much lighter and it is much easier to move around and I have a lot more energy. It's wonderful!
Thank you so, so much for the support, encouragement, and love. It's working. : )
I will be going to get bloodwork done around April 2nd and then I see my dr. on April 10th and I think she is going to be really pleased with my progress.
Here is one of the things I have been doing: I drink A LOT of water every day, all day. It is a really essential component to health, vitality, weight loss, and BEATING DIABETES!! Take that, and that, and that, ............: )
Love to all,
Cindy

A Cindy/Enchanted Hollow Update

Hello, hello, hello!
TWENTY pounds are gone, woo-hoo!! Plus, I walked down to the stream and back yesterday. It really enhanced my mood in a very positive way, the exercise, looking at, and listening to, the stream, the whole experience. I'm probably not doing it today because 1. it's chilly and raining and muddy, and 2. my one hip is hurting. : ( But, I'm going to walk it again asap. : ) My dr. wants me walking at the 8 week mark (8 weeks after diagnosis and starting on the Metformin) and this is about 6 weeks........
Busy, busy, busy here! I finished my little kind of goth ghost girl. Guess what? She is French. : ) Her name is Collette. I am very pleased with how she turned out. I need to get pics. I should have pictures of her and have her listed on ebay within the next couple of days, hopefully. She is about 9" tall altogether and she is poseable.
I've cracked down on myself and am working hard on cleaning and organizing my studio. Ugh. Hate it. I would far rather work on my dolls. It's really gotten out of hand in there, though, so I have to. I'm also working on setting up to try some Monster High doll repaints and I can't wait to get started!!! I need a few more supplies.
The kitchen is still in the "coming along but non-functional" stage and it's really getting old, let me tell ya. We are waiting on the sink cabinet to come in, which is a really crucial element, plus, Albert is hoping to finish tearing out the last of the old cabinet stuff this weekend. Gosh, I hope so!! He's got the kitchen sealed off and I only go through there on the way to the basement steps to go down to do laundry and all that.
It's gonna be great, though. I can't wait to be able to take pictures so all of you will be able to see the amazing transformation. : )
Love to all,
Cindy

Big Eyed 6" Doll I Just Finished for a Friend




This is a little big eyed, kind-of-goth 6" tall doll I just finished as a small gift for a wonderful friend. I would love to hear what you think. Do you think I should do a couple of these to sell?
This little girl has wire in her arms, legs and body so she is very poseable. These pics aren't that great. I'm hoping to get a couple of better pictures tomorrow when the light is better.

SEVENTEEN pounds gone!

Just a quick update on the weight loss/health stuff. I've lost seventeen pounds now and they are going to stay gone forever. Yayyyyyyy!!!!! I feel so much lighter and can move around SOOOOOO much more easily. It is so great. I love it!
I saw my doctor this past week after having bloodwork done the week before and she is so pleased with me. My numbers are looking great and she is very pleased with my weight loss, my positive attitude towards the whole thing, and my determined and motivated mindset. The bloodwork did show that I am low on potassium so Miss Lady Doctor prescribed a potassium supplement for me. Wow! I noticed a big difference in the way I felt the first day I took the potassium. (I've apparently been low on potassium because of the little bit of medicine I take every day for blood pressure).
Overall, I am ROCKIN'!
Also, I just got the first in the LA Blast dance DVD series. I watched some of it and it is definitely doable and looks like so much fun!
Re: doll stuff: I'm finishing a really cute Raggedy Ann doll and I hope to have her listed on ebay this weekend, along with two more Littlest Angels.

New and Improved Littlest Angel--With Arms!




Hi!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful, magical day. My wonderful friend and neighbor, Fern, told me she thought my Littlest Angel girls should have arms, and then a couple of other people whose opinions I value highly as well, told me the same thing, so, voila!~arms!
I redid Susie with little poseable arms and she is holding a little bouquet of pink milliner's flowers. I also added a green with pink polka dots bow to her head and topped it off with a little pink flower.
Susie is now appearing on ebay. Please take a look when you get a chance. I have a really great new auction template that I just love~ : )

THIRTEEN pounds gone!!!!

And, this time they are STAYING gone!!!
I eat small meals and snacks through the day to keep my blood sugar and energy levels as stable as I can, and I am drinking a LOT of water every day. No sodas, not diet ones either usually. (And, by snack, I mean 2 or 3 bites of a Sargento Reduced Fat Colby Jack Cheese Stick and three prepackaged red apple slices along with a handful of little whole grain crackers). (If I get what I call 'wonky headed', I drink a bit of orange juice). Not getting food from out (like restaurants, fast food) at all. I AM going to reverse the Type II Diabetes. Take THAT, disease! : )
Also, I am just about totally over the bronchitis/Nasty Bug from Hell. I still have a bit of cough here and there if I've exerted more than a little. Albert STILL has a bit of cough from it and it's been weeks for him. : (
Oh, and we are FINALLY getting stuff going on the kitchen!!! The stove/oven will be delivered tomorrow, the floor is getting installed this next week and Albert is picking up some of our ready to assemble cabinets that just came in. Hooray!!! See me doing a limited version of my happy dance?? The cabinets are only the bottom ones. We will still need the kitchen sink, faucet for the sink, countertops, and a dishwasher to complete the bottom row part of the kitchen. After that, we will have to see if we have any money to get the few upper level cabinets we need and the pantry units for on either side of the refrigerator. But we are definitely getting there at long last!! I will post before and after pics as soon as I can.
: )
Love to all,
Cindy
