Wild Alice is a Mid-Century Modern Mom who likes to recycle, up-cycle & re-purpose. Her children tell folks she is an Urban Archeologist or someone who likes to muck about in other peoples trash. In reality she is an administrative assistant at a large, very nice company. She works with really nice people and is very good at her job. Unfortunately it is a job & not her passion. Her passion has mostly been floating around in her head until recently when it started to leak out......so here is her story and the stories of the dolls that need to be real.

Art is where my heart is




I started 5 hearts today and finished three.  Not one of them ended up looking like I thought they would, but I am pleased with each one.  The fabric on the white heart tore when I was stuffing it so I had to mend it - something we do as mothers, sisters and friends.  I planned on stitching dragonflies in bright colors with vintage silk thread around the leaves.  I usually start with a theme or idea & then see where it takes me.  The rip threw me off track - I'm not sure what to do with it now but I can't wait to see where I should have been going with it!!
