I need to catch up!!!

The darling Pooball Pipa

Oh my where to begin! I've been so wrapped up in so much I have very much neglected my blog. I am truly sorry to all those whom follow me. Having teen sons and one leaving to go into the military kind of does that to one.

Sooooo, above is my latest Pooball. I decided to revamp the line a bit and Pipa received fantastic feedback. She is already in a new home but I will be making more in this new style. I love how she turned out. I have also included more of the Pooball story under each of their pics. The Pooball Adventures are indeed beginning! Are you excited??? I surely am!

This is Tulip from my Ree's Rags line

Above is Tulip. It felt wonderful to make another rag doll and I will be making another one soon. Both have a home already but Tulip is still very happy to share her picture with you!

Uht Oh! Toddler Tanjeryne

Uht Oh! baby Ree

Next are two Uht Oh! creations I finished not to long ago. On Ree I did my first watercolor eyes on this line and loved them! Both of them have homes already.

2011 Halloween Edition Uht Oh! Toddler Starlyte

Last, but not least, my 2011 Halloween Uht Oh! I am not sure if bringing Starlyte to life, or making her outfit and hat was more fun?! She truly is an amazing little girl packed full of personality. Starlyte has just been listed in my ETSY store http://www.etsy.com/listing/81425235/2011-halloween-uht-oh-toddler-witch-by and you can see all of her pictures on my website http://tipsyteacup.com/Toddlers.htm just click here picture after following the link.

Hugs & Squeeshies!

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.
