Some new Works in Progress!

Here is what I've been up to since Marguerite left for her audition at Art Doll Quarterly!

I wanted to name her "Moaning Lisa"...but she's looking more like a 'LaLa

Lola"...any suggestions?

Here we have A Squash named "Solange"

You probably guessed it...they are also going to be cage dolls!

Yours Aways,

Carly

More on Marguerite

I have some more pictures to share with you and tell you a little about each one.

When I first was imagining Marguerite, I did not see her wearing a hat...but it became evident that she would not have a complete outfit without it. I've never before covered my pumpkin dolls head...just let the stem be natural. I thin it works on her.

Marguerite Screamer Guavaween/Halloween Queen

Well folks...She is finished!!! I'm sorry I didn't keep up with my posting as I had planned..I've just been so busy meeting deadlines, I never came up for air! My family looked out for me and did all my other chores and I just kept working!

Here is a special treat that my son,s friend Mark made for me....didn't he do a great job?!

Allan graduates! Masters of Science!

Masters in Engineering from CU!!! Just last week we went to Colorado for my eldest son's graduation from Colorado University at Boulder. He now has his Masters in Environmental Engineering. He received his Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from USF where he was the President of Engineers Without Borders.

He has always had an interest in providing sanitary drinking water to those in other countries who have none. His most recent trip took him to Africa for a few months! He had quite the experience!

Congratulations, Allan!!!

My Son Matthew, Birds of Prey!!!

This is a picute of my son,Matthew, who is the Coordinator for Eagle Watch in Florida!

Audubon’s Center for Birds of Prey opened its doors in 1979. Thirty one years later, the Center is the premier raptor rehabilitation facility in the eastern United States. Raptors treated at the Center include hawks, owls, kites, falcons and eagles. In addition to birds of prey, it also cares for vultures, taking every opportunity to educate the public about these very valuable members of the stork family.

Annual patient admissions average 600, with a release rate of 40%. Approximately 10% of admissions annually are Bald Eagles, and the Center is renowned for its eagle care. To date the Center has released 407 eagles back to the wild.

Non-releasable birds may live out their lives at the Center as education ambassadors. Young birds with permanent disabilities are trained to the glove and become “working birds”, traveling to schools, festivals and other events. They interact with over 20,000 people annually.

The Center is located in a suburban neighborhood on Lake Sybelia in Maitland. In addition to over 20 species of raptors and vultures on display, there are educational displays, a butterfly garden, gazebo and wetlands on the lake and Audubon House, a restored 1924 bungalow.
