Through blogging I have met some really great people, both in person and online. Today’s project was created by Vanessa of The Sew-er, The Caker, The Copycat Maker who happens to fall into both of those catergories. (Well technically I haven’t made her in person yet, but we have plans to) She is amazing! She is equally talented with a sewing machine and a saw.

Back in October, she made these super cute get dressed mannequins for her kids.

Recently it came to my attention that my niece has some troubles in the getting dressed department. I immediately thought of this project. My niece saw a picture and was very excited to have one of her own.

My Dad actually did all the wood work for this project, I was just called in to make the head. Don’t mind the pictures, I forgot my camera and she may or not have still been drying at the time. My parents worked up until the last minute getting her done before my nieces birthday.

Just in case you thought I was kidding about amazing Vanessa is, here are a few of my favorite projects she has done.

She made campfires as centerpieces for the Blue and Gold Banquet. She did a lot more than that too. Click on the picture to see the full post.

Look at all these felt food treats. She created them for part of the RS Super Saturday activity.

Last but not least, she is a whiz with miniatures. She has a hair clip business and she cranks out miniatures like there is no tomorrow. She asked me to help design some clips for her customers, and it is a tall order. Check out this strawberry cake!

Please go check out Vanessa at The Sew-er, The Caker, The Copy-cat Maker and give her some comment love. I would follow her while you are there too. I only showed you 4 of her great projects and she has tons!
