Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I am thankful for all of you readers and supporters of my little business.

A few dolls in the shop!

Hi,

It's been marathon doll making lately around here. I've still got a few ends to tie up but the majority of the dolls are finished and ready to be shipped! Check out the shop to see the latest ones for sale. I'll be adding some felt coats and some more clothes soon too. I know lots of you have been waiting patiently, so thanks. I always underestimate how long every little detail is going to take.

Just popping in to say hello. I am crazily trying to finish all the doll orders (and some for Etsy) before we leave town on Wednesday. We are going to Switzerland for our good friends' wedding. And the Holiday sales are fast approaching. I always know this time of year is so hectic and seems to be true again this year.

This year I am doing two local sales here in NYC, mark your calendars now!

My favorite spot.

Yesterday we had kind of a lazy afternoon. Even though the weather was beautiful my husband had work to do so I did some new crochet stitches and then I took a nap. I'm hoping to be a super productive this week getting ready for holiday sales and orders!

By the way, don't forget to put in your order now for a custom doll by Christmas. I'm going to stop taking orders in the next few days. Thanks.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

I can't wait to see this new movie. The making of the puppets and miniatures looks amazing.

Tune in to the Martha Stewart Show tomorrow.

Tomorrow the Brooklyn show will be airing on the Martha Stewart Show. I am going to be in the audience so it should be fun. It will highlight the food and craft sellers at the Brooklyn Flea from a few weeks back. You can find local listings for the show here.

wow.

This is a beautiful installation by MAV in Portland Maine. I love everything!

New items in the shop!

A quick note to let you know that I've updated my shop with some new items. No dolls yet but I am working on it.

I'll be doing a few sales this Holiday season but this is one of the best around...

Taking custom doll orders now for the Holidays!

I am making a big batch of dolls right now so it's a good time to get your custom doll order in for the Holidays. I won't be able to take any more custom orders after November 15 because I get busy with craft sales and everything gets so hectic around that time. The best way to order is to look over this page, and send me an email (with custom doll as the subject) with your preferences. I will most likely be finished with your doll in about 2 weeks. When I have finished I'll send you an invoice through Paypal for payment. You can't pick specific fabrics for the clothes but you can let me know color preferences. I'll also be updating my shop with other dolls so there's always that option as well. 

I know many of you have mentioned saving up for a doll as a Holiday gift so now is your chance!

thanks!
