The Dinky Traveler in Desert Hills, AZ

The Dinky Traveler loved the chickens so much, she spent most of her time collecting eggs and watching them.


When she was not watching the chickens she climed up high in the orange trees. Loads of fun just hanging out. Becasue it was 100 degrees outside, she wore her new sundress.

Dinky Traveler in Rockport MA

Looks like a lot of fun was had as the Dinky Traveler visited Rockport, MA with Carol. So many things to see. He even got a new sock monkey inspired jacket made by Carol from the Dinky Baby Wardrobe pattern. How lucky can a guy get.

Next stop will be to visit Amy in Peabody, MA. Hopefully not to far to travel to spend some great time.

How fun it would be to be a sailer...

Big ships to take you to fun places....

The ocean is soo big...

This Dinky Traveler had a great time as she visited Karen in New Brunfels, TX. Looks like she is eating her vegetables. On to visit with Margaret in Friendswood, TX next.

Fun with veggies.

The Dinky Travler Visits Maine

This Dinky Travler stopped in Maine to visit with Erin and her family. It looks like they had a great time. What a great summer for this little one as she visits Carol in MA next.

Wow! A real lighthouse.

This Dinky is really into Italian food!

Lobster anyone?

How about a chocolate moose?

The Dinky Travler

Bea of Mesa, AZ hosted the Dinky Travler on her first stop. It is hot in Arizona, so it looks like the Dinky Travler kept cool with some friends in the pool. This Dinky Travler will be visiting Bonnie in Desert Hills, AZ on her next stop. Looks like a fun summer for all.

The Dinky Baby Booth

This was my first year attending and exhibiting at the International Spring Quilt Market. So far it has been quite an experience. I have been interviewed, had my picture taken and there are a few other things I just cannot talk about yet. Hopefully it all happens and I can share the news.

I am collecting some great ideas and great fat quarters, the fabrics are so bright and beautiful. I can hardly wait to get home and start creating my sketches.

Crackerjack the Movie Filming in Savannah, GA

Here is an update on the movie the Dinky Babies are in. It is into the second week of filming and things are progressing along acording to producer Tonya Watt. The Dinky Babies have all arrived including the little 8 inch one above.

From what Tonya tells me he is going to be quite the "little star" and will be appearing throughout the movie including the last scenes filmed in Mexico. "Stay safe little guy!"

Tonya will be taking pictures as the movie progrsses and I will pass them on as I receive them.

Here is a link to a local news story from WSAV Savannah

More Dinky Babies Headed to Savannah

So Many of you have donated time and talent to help make enough dolls for the movie Crackerjack. It is so much appreciated. The donated dolls, after they are finished with their movie debut, will be given to a local charity so that they can be enjoyed by someone special. My thanks to each and everyone one of you who took time out to help with this project.

The last shipment of dolls left today. I am so anxious to find out how things are going. As soon as I have some news I will share it with you all.

I made 10 of the 24 inch dolls for display in the movie. Wow, it was difficult to get them all done in time. We made the deadlines and now the rest is up to the Dinky Babies and how they perform.

Keep watching for details. Those of you who donated a Dinky Baby will be receiving your special certificate soon concerning your donation to Crackerjack.
