Spread the Love Swap

In February 2009, some of our more romantic members wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day by beading a small doll to 'Spread the Love'. Jena, generously hosted this lovely project and clearly enjoyed her topic so much, she just couldn't stop. Some of the ladies just wanted to bead a doll for keeping, or secretly gifting to a very special loved one, whilst others beaded a little loving creation to swap with a beady buddy from the group. I think you will agree, the results are a beautiful tribute to the sentiment of Valentine's Day and will forever be a reminder of a loving occasion and beautiful friends.

Aponi

Aponi is Rosalie's doll in the Four Season's Round Robin. Seven women beaded this wonderful doll. Rosalie received the doll form from Ralonda, the hostess of this round robin, as a birthday present, so Aponi is doublely special to her owner. Congratulations to all who created this fantastic creature. She is a masterpiece.

Here are Rosalie's comments about Aponi:

"Aponi is a Native American word meaning 'Butterfly' I love spring and all of the new things coming out of the ground, all different colors, new birth etc. She was beaded by Jena, Kathleen, Karol, Ann, Gail, & Dian, she left my house naked because I thought my dog ate her face, but later found it under my bed, but she had already been sent off. I adore her and she has been to 3 Dr Offices with me, so many nurses have threatened to swipe her. I love the idea that she was beaded by friends. She will be displayed in a recycled pop bottle cut in half and placed over a wooden base and placed in my bead room that is coming together very well."

February Calendar Dolls

Are there words to describe the latest dolls? I don't think so. All are fabulous. Congrats to all who designed a doll for February.
