Busy times!

I got a new commission for a cat doll, based on one I did years and years ago (I think the Universe is telling me to revisit what inspired me in the beginning!).  I'll be finishing her this week, and will have photos.  The cat that inspired the commission is here--only the new one will have a tutu and ballet slippers.




This little witch doll sold this weekend and will be on her way to Ohio--she's been hoping to have a new home by Halloween, and it looks like she'll have one.  Once I finish the new kitty and get her on her way, then I'll get busy with my set up for the upcoming doll show down in Phoenix.



In the mean time, I finished this little guy.  Something about that face just kills me.  He's only seven inches tall, but he seems to have a big presence.




Hope y'all's week is fabulous.

I did it!

 For the last who-knows-how-long, I have let my Etsy store languish with very very few new listings.  It basically served as a shop for my patterns, and the occasional custom ordered Izannah.  I took all my dolls to the doll show, and that was pretty much it.

When I was an Air Force instructor, I used to tell my airmen: if you don't use the tools you have, then you might as well be sweeping the floor with your hands, while the broom is propped in the corner.

That's what I was doing.  Sweeping the floor with my hands.  But no longer.  I have listed them all on Etsy, and posted them on my Pinterest boards.  I'm sorry these aren't new to you guys--they've all been posted here at some time, but I never took the time to put them IN MY STORE.  Well, now I have listed them.  Woohooo!

Now to get started on dolls for the October doll show, and work on that Cherub Christmas Ornament commission.  Busy times.
