The stripes of the pillow and bedspread sew reminded me of my Alice and I was truly inspired!

Oh I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo jazzed to introduce my Gothic Alice with her Chessy Cat!

Although I posted Tipsy first, Alice is actually my very first "rag doll." Madame Samm first sent me an adorable dress pattern that I ended up making a gothic styled dress out of that just screamed Wonderland to me. Samm then was so very kind enough to draw up a rag doll pattern just for me and I simply cannot thank her enough!

I had so much fun creating Alice and I so hope you enjoy her as well. You can see her details and more pics here: http://tipsyteacup.com/Alice.htm

I am so pooped this weekend and I apologize for the short post. I just had to come on real quick and share! =:o)

I am hoping to post the ragdoll I made fom Jess's ADORABLE pattern Monday but I have a lot of running to do that day so it may be Tuesday before I can post. OMGosh I had so much fun making this girl!!!

Yay! A tea party with friends! Let's sit down, sip, and share!

A Tid Bit About Ree

Pull up a cozy chair, have a friendly cup of tea with me, and let me tell you a tid bit about Ree!

I was born 1973 in Philadelphia, PA., to two incredible parents whom blessed me with the most beautiful childhood a little girl could hope for. My father was a lifer in the Navy and just about the most amazing man you could ever meet. My mother is just as amazing and one of the most caring moms I could ask for. My Dad was such a creative man which is where I believe I inherited my artistic gift from and my Mom never passed up the chance to play dolls with me when I was a little girl which is where I believe my strong love for dolls comes from. Put those two together and here I am as Tipsy Teacup Creations.

As stated above, I truly do believe my heritage contributed a great bit to my creative skills and love of dolls, but I have to tell you a secret. I came across doll making accidentally. Yes, can you believe it, I said accidentally. Let me tell you the story, after my darling Siamese cat Mable decided to attack one of my childhood handmade dolls I frantically decided I had to figure out a way to fix her. I started to thoroughly look at her and examine how she was made. I had it in my head that I would not stop until she was back to her original glory and, you know what, I did it. I had her back to her precious self in no time. Needless to say, after that magical repair I was hooked on soft sculpture and the art of doll making. I have extensively studied the soft sculpture art form and have self taught myself since that fateful day in 2004. I even managed to make friends with a sewing machine or two. Over this past year I have taken several online doll classes which have been amazing. I will never stop learning or trying to improve my skills no matter how many years go by.

While I do so love all kinds of art and dolls the art of soft sculpture has quickly become my artistic outlet and sole creative passion. I am thrilled to be able to relive my childhood, as well and my little boy's childhoods, and share my works with you! You will notice that I have a huge range of interests which, without a doubt, shine through via my creations.
