Seems forever since I have published new patterns-but alas I have been playing dolls and having a wonderful time.

These 2 new dolls are ready now but will also have optional rubber face stamps avilable after March 1st.

Meet "Chloe" my new ground fairy with a whimsical costume and loads of personality. She is loaded with all the cloth doll basics and some fun extras.

Bliss is a beginners delight with all the creativity and whimsey a cloth doll can bring. Wrapping and winding her fabric costume on is just plain fun!

I also have a new workshop doll "Eau de Parfume." So if your club or guild is looking for some cloth doll fun with lots of techniques please get in touch with me for more details.

TAKE A CAR, TAKE A PLANE, TAKE A TRAIN, but get yourself to Pamela Hastings' and Rosie Rojas' two-person show, FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING, June 5-28, 2008 at Fiber Artspace, 1420 S. Alamo St. at the Blue Star in San Antonio, TX, http://www.artspace.com

I'll be teaching DOLL MAKING WITH FOUND OBJECTS to the enthusiastic and possibly rowdy doll club in Ottawa, connected with a road trip from VT to Halifax to visit the inimitable Margi Hennen and Kathryn Belzer.

There are eight spaces available for July 20-27 learning and exploring in southern France, the goal to design a class I would want to take in order to enjoy the colors, the flea markets, and all the wonderful texture and history of the area.

All this and more at my blog and website: http://www.pamelahastings.com where you'll also find books, patterns, charms, paintings, free patterns and more. Please visit OFTEN!!!

New things are springing up here at the Cloth Doll Connection already. A new Cloth Doll Showcase gallery is in the works and we would love to include your dolls that you have FOR-SALE. Our focus will be new dolls that you have created to sell - one of a kind originals or from other's patterns.

Dolls included in the Doll Showcase will be highlighted in the monthly classifieds, as well as, being pictured on the Showcase website. A write-up will accompany each doll in the showcase that will include information about the doll, as well as, the artist that created it.

All this in an effort to get your dolls shown and in the limelight and sold. What could be better? The Cloth Doll Connection is a heavily visited site and will bring the customers to you.
