soon.....sculpting time is scarce!

I am plugging away at finding sculpting time. I know many are patiently (or impatiently ;-) ) waiting for their name to reach the top! We had a stressful weekend with hubby getting strep. Ugh! I'm so glad he was a good sport! Sometimes he does not fare well being sick, but he got our new dishwasher installed, inspite of the original owners installing it very .... um.... badly! We're waiting for him to feel 100% to finish the drain hose so we can use it...yea!! My girls are excited to finally have a functioning dishwasher (after having to handwash for the past 3 years!!)

I'm sure you all don't want to hear about my family woes, so let's get down to the purpose you are all here.... the sculpture work in progress pictures and videos. I'm wondering how many are actually watching them & what are your responses.... Please, leave a message so I know if things are working on your end of the blog!! Things are taking quite a while to upload & edit so please bear with me!

Here's a picture of my progress on the next one....



Here's one video uploaded so far.... edited: this video is now changed to the new remixed video. If there are moments the video stalls, you can either wait a minute or click the video ahead a couple seconds. Not sure the cause (other than internet/computer speed issues). I will hopefully get more of this WIP in the next couple of days! Enjoy!!


My goal is to finish this one by the end of the week. We are going out of the state (to MN) to help my mother in law move into her new house from the 19-30th, so any other sculpting will have to wait until we get back!

Baby's done....

Baby's done




Now to make a 'twin'...eeek! I'm hoping to make the 2nd one even better! Make sure to watch the video in the previous post... I added a section about adding hair & other fun things. I recenlty downloaded a video editing program that will hopefully work better than the one on photobucket. So when I get that all completed, I'll post a better version here!

Sculpting ....

Progress video.... seems I am able to update every other day or so.... Enjoy the video!! I think I'm having as much fun making the videos as I am sculpting!!

NEXT . . . .!

The second dress will be shipped on Monday! Yea!! I will definately pick a different shipping company since this last one I have been working with has only given me problems of very late packages! I apologize to everyone for these recent problems!!

I had a minor setback of a few days because I received a call from my daughter's nephrologist (kidney specialist) telling me her last labs showed her blood sugar was at 195 and she needed to see an endocrinologist asap for possible diabetes. So early the next morning we were at the hospital. Hours and lotsa blood & sugar testing later, we find that she may have Turner's Syndrome. Actual blood chromosone testing will tell us for sure in 6 weeks. But it makes sense seeing that she is 6 years old and the size of a small 4 year old as well as these other autoimmune issues! She is showing about 75% of the characteristics. Now we know what we are dealing with & can take proper care of her to give her a better future.

So the stress of that day & trying to deal with the VA clinic for my care threw me into a pretty painful flare for the Thanksgiving weekend. I praise the Lord for my wonderful husband who helped my 2 eldest daughters make a ham & some basic trimmings for a very nice meal. I am very proud of them for pitching in as much as they do!!

Here is a small video/remix I made of my progress on the next sculpture.... Hopefully I'll be able to update it each time I take more picture (fingers crossed the program will work properly for me!!)

(this video is in the above post, so I took it out here so nobody gets confused!)
