Uglee Dolls 4 Kids(Joplin)

I hope everyone is having a marvelous Memorial Day weekend. We are; sleeping in late, eating lots of good family food, staying up late and watching classic flicks together, and of course watching the races, F1 was from Monaco this weekend and the finish to the Indy 500 was spectacular. The NASCAR race from Charlotte is on the DVR and hasn't been watched yet, so SHHHHHH! Mum's the word, DH and I are going to watch it after kids are in bed.

Anyhoo...I was checking traffic and  usage on my blog tonight and came across this website:

Someone is using my Uglee Doll Free patterns to do some donations for the children of Joplin. I am stoked. This is a super idea and I am all in. I already have several made up and ready to go. I hope they soon post an adress, so I can gather more support for this effort. If you would be interested, would you please bookmark the above address and keep your eyes open on my blog for further updates. If you feel the need to make an Uglee and would like to donate please don't hesitate to email me and I'll be happy to start spearheading the effort.

Graduation Sunday!

Happy Graduation Day! Here is the graduation bear I completed. Isn't he cute. All dressed up and ready for the ceremony.
Things are going to be hopping here. My DD will be graduating from HS today. We're having family and friends over for lunch before the ceremony at 3:00 . The menu is Taylor's favs, penne pasta with red suace and fettucine alfredo with chicken. Not per her requst, I am alos putting out veggies and bread. (She is a super plain eater, but hey, the rest of us like munchies!! LOL) I also got a graduation cake. I'll have to upload a pic later.
This is a pic of her table I made in honor of her  for guest to peruse doing the open house. I have pictures of her all through the years as well as her artwork and photos displayed through-out the area.

Now that I have the pattern for the cap and moratar board in my mind. I couldn't resist making another graduating ami. Surely I'll find some deserving grad to send this lil guy home with.

Sheez Uglee II

Hellooo all! here is the latest Uglee, she may look a little familiar because she's the second I've made in this color and style(Triangle Uglee). The first one sold in my etsy shop, soooo I felt she deserved another chance to shine. This time I added some ribbin to this one's curly hair, just to primp a bit.
