Grama's Forever Babies

Wow when I am sitting at my desk, total immersed in my creative process, what a relief to find that time has passed, I have accomplised something that will last and I am relaxed and happy. 

I love what I do, I just can't help it....I love trying new techniques, styles and forging on to new ground.  I am working on a baby a week average right now.  Trying to push myself to be better, as I work.  My newest baby, Tanner from Bountiful Baby is coming along nicely...I am learning to be patient while rooting with a 43 forked German needle...Oh my...hours  and hours but I love the results.  I have mastered dyeing my own mohair and am very pleased with the color I get...This little guy is getting some really fine and beautiful hair, thinly rooted and I am in love with yet another baby.

I know that those who purchase a baby from me are pleased with my efforts, but I want them to see how much love and time I put into each little one, I create.  So have slowed down and am just learning to enjoy the process.  Hopefully it will pay off in the final result. 

It really is not about the money, I get from sales...it is the recognition of my effort that makes me happy.  I have been asked why I don't charge more for the babies....well not everyone can afford to buy expensive babies so I vary my prices to accomodate those who want one and don't have a lot of money to spend.  I want to make others happy, that is my goal.....As long as I can continue to pay for the supplies and have a little extra now and again , I am happy.....

Why I  do what I do...

Sometimes I wonder why I decided to retire and get myself involved in this new venture...seems I have always wanted to use my creative ability to make others happy.  In reborning I have found that I can bring joy into the lives of others, and I can enjoy creating beautiful babies that are an expression of my inner self.

For so many years I worked just to make a living and did not enjoy it at all.  Most of the time I had to do things that were against my beliefs and better judgement.  I found that I could use my creativity in my jobs but seldom did it bring me pleasure or was it recognized as the God given ability that I knew I had.  So when I discovered reborning it gave me a whole new way to express my creativity and to earn a little extra money to help pay for my new found hobby.

I don't take credit for this ability but give all the credit to God who has blessed me immeasurably.  So why do I do what I do...to honor God, by using the gift he has given me.  I thank Him each day for allowing me to serve Him.  Through reborning I have met some wonderful people who have really helped me to get better at my craft.  A lot are believers and share common thoughts, but even those who don't claim to be are wonderful friends and I have learned much from them.

I am so blessed to belong to a community of people who love being creative and are willing to share with me their secrets..We help one another.

Why I do what I do...because I love it.....
