I finally finished all the custom orders for November...whew! It was a lot. I have a few orders I am now working on and I might be able to squeeze in another one or two...I'll know more in a day or two.

I am pretty excited about this week. I have been working on all new Faeries and I finally have it all worked out :o) So, I will be listing two faeries this week. One is autumn colored, the other is green...her name will be Anise. Not sure about the Autumn toned one yet. Anyway, they will be awesome :o) If they turn out half as gorgeous in person as they are in my head you will LOVE them :o) I will post pics of them when they are done...promise.

Today I am taking the day off to play :o) We're making wool felt garlands of gingerbread men and snowmen and some cookies...I love this time of year :o) I will get back to work tomorrow :o)

On top of these, I will be posting a 12 inch girl today sometime with ruby red and brown hair named Madeline. I will also be working on and posting a tan skinned brown haired girl very similar to Sabrina and Serafina...still working on a name for her. I hope to have her up by Friday.

I have the November giveaway doll standing by :o) Actually, she is waiting for her clothes. I will try to get those done today so that maybe we can start that giveaway tomorrow. I will keep you posted on that...it all comes down to time :o)

************************************************

I have received lots of inquiries lately for customs or even shop dolls. I know the shop is a bit empty right now, but hang in there guys. I promise to have lots of awesome cuties to choose from in an array of colors. This week is going to be the last week this heavy with customs so you will begin to see more dolls next week...promise :o)

So, with all of that, I am off to work on some friends :o) Enjoy your day

Update first week of November...

Thought I would put up an update of how things look as of this morning :o) This is literally how they all look at the moment. Its not the best image, but its not bad for having been taking in my sewing room with minimal lighting...not to mention my horrible photography skills :o) It will at least give you all an idea of where we are.

Isabel, your gal needs her hair trimmed and her sweater knit (almost done).

Liz, Your two gals need their hair :o) I have their first set of clothes done...images are below. They still need their second ensembles and sweaters.

Meg, your trio are as cute as can be. I need to finish up the clothing and put the white patch in our little PJ guy's hair.

Charlene, well, he needs clothes...did you want freckles too?

Denise, he too needs his clothes :o) and a trim of his hair

Liz, here is the first image, sorry about the horrible coloring. I thought it would at least give you an idea as to the style :o)

Isabel, Here are your two outfits. Let me know your thoughts.

OK guys, I need names for these cuties so think them over and get back with me please :o)

I will be working on them today. Hopefully I will get most of the final things done and at least a sweater or two :o)

I am also working on two more shop dolls for this week as well as my cutie for the November giveaway. She should be ready to go by Monday morning :o) I have a 12 inch and a 16 inch coming out in the shop in the next couple of days :o)

That's it for now...

Peace.

And one more thing...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Monday Oct 26

I have a lot of ground to cover today so here goes...

First off...I am showing off the latest creation from my awesomely talented daughter Brenna. She made this felt playscape completely out of wool. I am so proud :o) Its listed for sale her in shop on Etsy called Pandemonium Creations Drop by and check more images :o)

These are the final images of your girls Jennie. They are going out today.

Your baby has a mix of color and yarn. She has brown with nutmeg highlights and some light sandy blonde as well. Any idea as to her name?

Your Elora Danan is wonderful. I went outside to get some good images of her for you. Her hair is gorgeous...nice choice on the yarn.

Now, things are getting busy around here. I have lots of customs to fill so there is going to be some changes in the blog for a while. I will try to get a page of the beginnings set up to click on so that you all can see how they begin but I will not be able to take and post individual images of each doll...at least not for the next month :o) It takes time away from actually creating these cuties :o)

My computer time will be early in the morning and at night...to give me time to do the many other things we do around here daily :o)

Each week, I will post a list of the dolls I will be working on that week. I will try to post images, but I cannot say for sure I will even have the time. I will definitely have images of them when they are done :o)

This week I will be working on these dolls...

Aisha

Lissa

Jenn

I will also be posting these dolls during the week...

Blue Mermaid

Purple Mermaid

16 inch Weighted Baby Boy

16 inch Boy

Some of these are near completion while others have not yet been started so they will be posted as each day goes by. I expect to have the mermaids listed as well as the 16 baby tomorrow.

With all of that, I am off to work :o) Have a great day and drop by my daughter's shop :o)

Peace

Jennie's Girl

So I waited most of the day for the rain to stop but then it hasn't...I decided to take a few images of her this way to see if it will work out...the results, while not stellar, will work. At least you can get an idea as to how cute she is :o)

I promise better images tomorrow. I am working on her sweater today as well as the baby's body. I will have more images tomorrow for you.

Progress...

Here are the two sisters for Kettlebelles :o) they are so cute together...

Jennie, this is the ensemble I came up with. I went with the purple/orange/pink top because I thought it might be good to introduce some other colors into the mix :o) I can still change it out to the all purple top if you want...

These are the beginning stages of your doll...

As of right now, this is what she looks like. I hope to get her face sen on today and at least start her hair. More images tomorrow...

Monday Oct 19

Amandine's little girl is done and ready to go home.

I love the hair and her face turned out so sweet.

I will be wrapping up work on Kettlebell's order today...all ready except their hair :o) For now, I have an image of their outfits :o)

In light of the fact that things are quite busy around here, I will be altering how I post images of the cuties I am working on. I will chronicle the making of my next custom order for Jennie step by step and then creating a permanent link to that page on my blog. That way I will be able to free up the time it usually takes to post individual images of each order. I will still post images of the customs but they will start when their faces are sewn on. It will save me a lot of time :o)

Jennie, I will be starting your girls later this afternoon :o) I cannot wait ti use that hair :o)

Amandine's Little one

Just before her face and hair :o) Her clothes are all set...

Friday's Update

Well, I finally got caught up. I finished three of the five dolls Intended to get finished this week for the shop. They're images are scrolling along in the flikr app on the page here, they are listed in the shop right now.

Tomorrow, I will list the other two...they still need some finishing touches :o)

Customs...

Amandine, I am working on your gal and hope to have her finished over the weekend.

Kettlebelles :o) I will be working on your duo over the weekend as well. I hope to have them done by Monday.

Halloween Times :o)

We LOVE Halloween...we just love this whoel time of year actually :o)

We had a great, busy time today doing a fw fun things so I thought I would share...

We made Paper Mache pumpkins. The kids love this one, when they dry we will cut the bottoms level and paint them orange...or purple or whatever :o) then we can put little lights inside them and they make cool lanterns.

Yeah, its messy...
We began putting up our decor. This is our cemetary scene in front of our house. How did we make the fence? PVC pipes and wood :o) painted black...for extra authenticity, you can all spear heads to the top of each pole. The tombstones are wood, painted like stone...and the ghost is also wood.

We made some sugar cookies too :o)

Of course we iced them :o)

That was the day in a nutshell :o) Maybe the next paper mache thing we make will be ghosts :o)

*********************************************************************************
