I received a special request from a friend for a Reiki doll. I'm always up for a challenge, so here ya go! Honestly I had never heard of Reiki before now. What I have learned is that Reiki is a Japanese technique of "laying hands on" for healing, stress relief, and to promote well being. The different colors on the doll represent the seven chakras. Dolls are used for reiki training and distance healing. This doll was based on one by Knot By Gran'ma. I started on this before I realized she had her pattern for sale. Oh well, with a little trial and error, it all worked out. Sorry, my pattern is not available. I have these dolls available occasionally in my Etsy shop Thank you so much for visiting my blog! Project Gallery I will be sharing with these great blogs! Visit Over The Apple Tree's profile on Pinterest. Follow me here: Pinterest » Facebook » Bloglovin' » Etsy Google+ » StumbleUpon » Instagram

Building community is a constant in my life these days. I am craving cheesecake like-minded people. I can't read enough, write enough, draw enough, crochet enough content which follows along with my thought patterns. Some days my life is falling down around me, and I'm finding I'm still fighting to get it all in. I need it. I'm happy to crawl out of my hobbit hole to be around other people who are living on a wavelength I can connect with. Engaging in conversations (while still terrifying... especially in front of crowds more than one person) is starting to become something I'm doing, even if I want to throw up from my nerves. I'm sticking my foot in my mouth a lot, but I'm trying. I'm also learning how to talk to people... you know in person... without cutting them off a zillion times... and at reasonable speeds. Community building is changing me. I hope it's for the better. Muzzled by Jess Schleicher That being said, I'm going to share with you some potential virtual community peeps. The demise of Google Reader and luckily stumbling across the Totally Awesome Blog Hop, has opened up some sort of blog worm hole that I need to immerse myself into. Here are a few that I found myself completely enjoying today. Crochet Chakra Doll The first is Dave from The Fresh Rag... particularly this post, The Wake Up Call. Please note that the video clip has some a lot of foul language, so don't click it if you don't care for that sort of thing. This is a wonderful post on doing what you are passionate about. I relate to this, but you all know it, because you've been reading along. Pulp Sushi's Marilyn, had him as a guest writer today... thus the community builds. This ideal runs into my next blog... Live Well and Breathe's Positive Energy. There is a shift going on in the universe. I believe it. I had chills while reading this post. The connections in this one blog post for my own personal and creative well being are so intense, that I've bookmarked it to re-read a few more times to completely digest all of the good. Meggs' post led me to human design on East 80, and let's just leave it at I'm intrigued to say the least. This is the community I want to surround myself with. Finding others who are able to teach/learn/read along with is invaluable.
Every doll has a soul.New Moon Spirit Dolls — The Journey of Designby Silver RavenWolf copyright 2012I don’t know why I started designing these Spirit Dolls. Maybe it was watching Lord Thorn quietly sew together a ritual robe for his friend by hand the other week.“Why aren’t you using a sewing machine?” I asked.He smiled. “I don’t have one. Besides, I find stitching it by hand more fulfilling.”I thought about that. There is a special kind of contemplative joy in working magick while stitchi

Probably about 15 years ago; anyway long before I had a personal computer or had even heard of the the world wide web, I made my mum a doll, a dammit doll. She was pretty funky with mad hair and a heart embroidered onto her bottom. I honestly don't know where I found the words that went with her ~ mum loved her and I am prety sure she used her more than a few times for her intended purpose. I made another the other week to send to a friend ( I had to get mum to send me a picture of my original one so I could make a pattern). I took pictures along the way just in case someone else needed to vent a little frustration. You will need some fabric, anything you fancy really, I used cotton calico both times. Umm threads, scissors, pins, stuffing, some kind of yarn for hair...think that is about it. Download the pattern template from here. Double your fabric over, right sides together and trace around the templates onto the fabric with a pencil or marker (you will need two arms so trace two sets). Before cutting, machine sew, with a small straight stitch, on your trace lines ~ make sure you leave the top of the arms and where marked on the body, open for turning and later joining. Cut out your pieces with a small seam allowance and turn them right way out. You might need to use a knitting needle or chopstick to smooth the inner seams. Stuff the arms about two thirds up the length, pin the top ~ compare your arms to make sure they are even then baste across your pin line, set them aside. Now stuff your body, poke your stuiffing down into the legs with that knitting needle or chopstick you used earlier. Fill up her tummy and head til you like the feel of her. Next, making sure you turn her arms so that her thumbs are facing in by her side, stuff the empty arm segment into her armpit and sew her arms to her body using a ladder or some other invisible stitch. Next pin along her groin as is marked on the pattern and sew a running stitch through both front and back layers of fabric and the stuffing ~ it gives her a better shape. At this point she makes a rather funny voodoo pincushion...which reminds me I'm hosting a pincushion swap this month ~ want to join in the fun? have a look here. Now, to embellish! I am partial to the belly button, almost all my dolls get one. This is only a little doll so a neat little bullion belly button does nicely. First make a stitch as long as you think you need a belly button to be, but don't come all the way through the fabric. Wrap your thread around the needle 8-10 times then hold them taught and pull your needle and thread through the loops. Curl it round and secure it. (I am quite sure if you google bullion stitch you will get a far better explanation and probably even a step by step video!) On to her face. I drew very lightly with pencil to give myself something to work with. Then back stitched a black outline and filled in with colour. I gave her bottom a little tattoo ~ she was made with love. Hair! I used a spun silk mess ~ see! I managed to unknot it enough to get a dozen or so lengths to work with. I doubled the lengths and with a sharp needle and thread stitched her hair along the seam. When her hair was all done I gave her to the wee girl for a few wacks against the table (needed to check durability) She whizzed her about so fast she is a mere blurr! So I slowed her down for a final picture! When you want to throw the phone And kick the desk and shout. Here's a littlt "Dammit Doll" You cannot live without. Just grasp it firmly by the legs And find a place to slam it, And as you whack the stuffing out Yell DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT. And that pincushion swap is still open
