New Baby + Doll Update

How is everyone doing? We are doing great! We found out about a week ago that were are going to be having another baby! The new little Love will be due at the end of November early December. Hopefully the new baby wont be born on sister's birthday! Its going to be fun (haha) having two baby's birthdays around the same time as Christmas... who planned this anyway? Certainly not me!

On the doll making front I will be busy making custom dolls and dolls for a possible (fingers crossed) craft fair! If I get to go to this craft fair it will be my first time! This is something I've been dreaming about for a very long time, so hopefully I will be able to participate! I know I've talked about this on my facebook page, but does anyone else have any suggestions on what to make for a craft fair? What type of dolls would you like to see? How many should I make? Any accessories I should make to go with the dolls? I'm also at a loss as to how I'm going to decorate my booth... ideas anyone? I would love your feedback!

Another little tidbit about my doll shop! I'm having a sale for an undetermined amount of time. Finished dolls will now be $15 and custom dolls $18. You can also purchase extra skirts for your doll for another $2 per skirt! If you are looking for a doll for your Easter baskets there should still be time if you live in the USA! Thanks for reading!

Springtime Dolls

Finally, spring has come! At least, one or two days of the week. I can't wait for it to stay nice all the time! I feel so much more rejuvenated when the sun is shining and birds are singing. How about you? What is your favorite season? Do you think you get more done in good weather than cold weather?

So for spring, I was inspired to do colorful dolls and also try my hand at an animal plush! I'm hoping to make the bunny plushies for my daughter and niece for Easter. I hope they like them! What do you think? Is there anything I could change to make it better? I would love your input!

If you do like what you see please leave me a comment! Comments mean the world to me! And don't forget to check out my etsy shop on the right! Thank you!

I am having a Super Sale over at my doll shop! You can use the coupon code : EggMoney to get 40% off all orders! This time of year seems to be a bit hard on some people, especially my family. So I decided to hold an egg money sale! Thanks for looking! ^_^

Doll for Alyssa

Hey there! Just wanted to share some pics of a new doll I made. This doll was commissioned by one of my hubby's and my friend, Jon for his new little sister Alyssa. Let me know what you think!

I really love the little ladybugs! I adored working with the color scheme, especially the red polka dot fabric. ^_^ I hope both Jon and Alyssa like this dolly.

Happy New Year! Sale!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. In celebration of the new year I am offering 25% off items in my etsy shop. That's between $5-6.25 off of dolls! This will most likely be the best sale I'll be offering for a long while in my shop. I'm not sure how long the sale will last, but at least until the 8th depending on how many people use the code. As for new dolls, I did complete two new dolls that were Christmas presents, but I neglected to take photos! Ah! I know I can get photos of one of them, but the other may be difficult. I'll see what I can do! How was your holiday? ^_^ And any new year's resolutions?

New Dollies!

Hey there! How are you all doing? I know I just posted yesterday, but I have new dolls to show you!

My favorite by far is definitely the last one! Don't you just love her chocolatey goodness? She looks just like a little cupcake with sprinkles! ^_^
