So, this is my busy week. I'm a little overwhelmed right now as Benji isn't sleeping very well right now. He seems to be dropping his nap and is now petrified of going to his room. Poor little man, we are going to buy him a new bed and make some changes to his room to maybe get him excited about his room again. We'll see if it works.
I've had quite a few orders roll in this week. I'm excited to get started on them. So many cute colour combo's.. I have a tonne of ideas for their clothing. I just finished a 12" boy. I don't make many boys, just because they don't sell..or isn't because I don't make many? Hmmm, anywyas, I think I'll be making more of these little guys. I'll post a pic soon.

I had a fairly productive day today. My great friend Iris came over and watched my little guy for a few hours while I got some work done. I have my last summer markdet on September 3rd that I have to prepare for. The markets are so much fun, I've met so many great pwople. When I do markets I have to prep many 'little' things, such as my pocket elves, and a new doll that I'm going to be trying out this market which is a blanket doll. It's for newborns, basically a head with a little blanket body, it's really cute. I think one of the best things about it is that parents can throw this doll in the wash.
I got a call today from a film studio about making some more dolls. I'm not sure of the details but I'll keep everyone up to date on what happens.
Well, I should get go, I have to put the little one to sleep.

This is my real life doll and one of my Bamboletta Dolls. Ben is about 2 in this picture!

I've never done one of these before. Well, that's a lie, I tried to make a blog somewhere but can't remember the site that I started it on. Does this happen to anyone else. I swear there are at least 30 sites that I'm registered on that I don't even remember registering for. Once in a while I'll try to register on something and realize that my username is taken..hey, wait, is that me? then I'll type in all my passwords to try to get in. So annoying!
Anyways, I wanted to start a blog about starting a business, my dollmaking business. I also would like a place where I can communicate with my clients to evolve and brainstorm on new ideas. I've been making dolls for a few years now but have only started selling them for 8 months. I LOVE making dolls for children. I do custom work, working with parents to create a doll that is unique and special for their child. I use natural materials..wool, cotton, etc to create these dolls. I follow the Waldorf philosophy making them.
I should get going, I'm supposed to be making dinner for my family, but thought I'd grab a few minutes to try this out!
