So much can happen in a week. We have decided to move to Vancouver Island in the Cowichan Valley. I am excited and nervous and overwhemled by all of this. Mostly excited though! We have always dreamed of living in a quieter more rural community. We will be sending Benjamin to the Sunrise Waldorf School, a school that I have heard nothing but good things about. This week we are meeting with 2 different Real Estate agents to talk about selling this place. Then we are going to Victoria this Monday for the day with an agent to have alook around at what is available. All of this during my craziest time of year!!

The dolls are going well. I am all full up for Christmas orders and am preparing for the upcoming Waldorf school Christmas Fair and the Winters Farmers Market. I'm a bit worried that I won't have enough stock.. It will all work out, I just have to trust that it will :)

Well, I'm going to get back to sewing..sew much to do!!

Whoo, haven't written in this for quite some time. Things are very busy here, I am gearing up for Christmas. I think that I will not accept anymore custom work and just concentrate on filling orders and getting my stock up for Markets. I just sent off a big shipment to Robert at www.mahardrygoods.com , some really cute babies. There is one little doll that looks just like baby Suri, I'd love to get it to TomKat. I posted some more dolls on my flickr site www.flickr.com/photos/bamboletta .
I'm currently searching for some help for the holidays, if anyone knows someone who's crafty and lives in Vancouver, please email me :) My lady that I normally use for sewing has fallen very ill, I hope that she gets better.
I've developed another type of doll, a pouch doll. This came about from going to the Waldorf school and talking to some of the people there about what kinds of dolls are age appropriate. I should get going though, have to make dinner.
