Dress-Up Dolls

Working on 4 sets of Dress-Up dolls today.  Two are for existing orders and two are for future orders.  I decided it would be more efficient to cut out each piece 4 at a time, instead of doing the whole setup individually 4 times.  Does that make sense?

Anyway, I'm just about done. I still need to do the tiny pieces like shoes, mittens, etc, and then make the bodies and applique them to the lids.  Sore hands -- time for a break!

The Etsy shop is going like gangbusters!

We have 10 sales already in our Etsy shop.  Woohoo!

Felt dress-up dolls are very popular, especially with Christmas coming.  I have several in process: one for Daphne, one for Madelyn, and one for Muriel.  Fun stuff! 

 

The felt Christmas dove ornaments are also doing well. Allison ordered 10 to give to coworkers, and Geof ordered 3! 



It's fun to see how each one turns out different! I need to find out if my Mom wants more this year for her charity sale. 

I've taken pictures of all my ceramics, and now I need to get them posted on the site.  They're pretty primitive; they're not as sophisticated as the wheel-thrown pieces my friends make. Since I'm a hand-builder, I tend to do my pieces pinch or coil, and it shows.  But I like them, so maybe someone else will, too!

Keep on creating!

Love, Rebecca
