Get to Know
Shweet Potato Dolls N Patterns is a family owned business based in Carrollton, Texas. Mom... is a self taught doll artist who loved to create dolls when her fibromyligia and RA allows her too. She has been crafting as long as she can remember. Her grandmother was a wonderful example...she was always creating something from ceremics to dresses. Her Mom also was a sewer. She created all 8 of her children's clothing as well as doll clothes. So you can see it runs in the family. When asked what is the first thing she remembers crafting she will tell you... using markers to make fun tee-shirts. Shweet Potato Dolls N Patterns also consists of Keelee (24) and Sassy Kassy (20) and of course Dad...Marty. Keelee designs and created beautiful hand beaded rosaries. Keelee and her 2 month old daughter Zoe come to stay on the weekends and help stuff all the body parts mom has created durning the week...see mom can't stuff any more. Keelee also helps out with the small stitching and buttons and so forth.
Sassy Kassy used to own and operate Sassy Soaps N Such but since she graduated from the Paul Mitchell Partner School in Carrollton, Tx, she has been really busy with her Hair by Kassy business. She decided to work from home so she could make sure Mom was OKAY all day (so Mom could still create and sew at home) and she take her hair and make up appointments at our Tree House Apartment and also travels to her clients homes and buisness. You know * Have makeup/haircolor *Happy to travel*! If you are in the Dallas area Drop us a line.
Dad... Marty..Is our shipper and general manager. Mom can no longer use her left arm or see out of her left eye, but she keeps sewing and creating patterns anyways. Mom is not allowed to drive now and Marty takes on the biggest job of all .....making sure all our packages get to the post office. Marty does that between his full time job at Southwood Lumber and Flooring and also a very busy DJ Business. If you are in the Dallas area and need a great DJ for a wedding, party or any event... check him out. www.musicbymarty.com

If you are 13 or older we would love to help you start your doll and ornie collection.
Sassy Kassy... My youngest is not only talented with hair but hand her make-up and watch her transform anything insight. From a young child playing with her doll's hair we knew she would develop her talents and skills in this area. When she is not busy working in making up and hair, loves to dabble in her soap line, Sassy Soaps N Such.
My beautiful Grandbaby Zoe. She is the light of my life and has helped me overcome pain and 3 strokes in 4 months before she was born and start creating new Shweet Potato Dolls again.
One of my favorite Cemetery ART Dolls. Sold but more to Come in 2012.
