We signed off on the house yesterday, so it is all legal and done with now..I have an address! Yesterday John and I went on a date, my mother was kind enough to take Ben for the day. We went to Red Robin, it's funny..we had a choice of any restaurant in the city and we go to Red Robin. But, when a pregnant lady is craving gooey cheese sticks, well, she's got to have them! That afternoon I treated myself to a facial at Skoah, which was hands down the best facial I've ever had, really. I recommmend the 'Facialious'.

I've finished up an order for Quiet Hour Toys. I'll post a pic as soon as I take one. Those 5 dolls that are in the picture are for Natural Pod. Natural Pod will be at the Vancouver Waldorf School on Thursday March 1st from 11 to 4 selling all kinds of wonderful things. Next week I hope to finish up a large baby, small baby and another 14" Bamboletta for NP, so those should be posted up on her site soon. Bridgitte has been working day and night to get the site up and running and it should be happening within the next few weeks. If you are interested in a doll though, you can email her and she has prepared a 'collage' of what dolls she has available for sale, there is quite a good assortment.

Just as a side note, I can't stop listening to Amy Winehouse. What an incredible voice and style. Download her song 'Rehab' (no, not about Britney!) and you will know why she is #1 in England..fantastic!!

It looks as though we may have bought a house. It isn't the one with the chicken coop, but it does have 1/2 an acre, so I'm sure I can swing a couple of chickens in there :).When we find out for sure, I'll put up a picture of it. I've been busy organising things for the move and getting ready for everything that is upcoming. Thankfully John's work is pitching in for the move so I'm getting people to come and pack up for us, that will save us a huge headache.
I have just finished an order of dolls for Molly at 'Twirl' a new store in Taos, New Mexico..so, if you are in the area, you should check it out. I'm about to start on a new order of dolls for Mayhardrygoods.com .Robert has asked me to create a gnome doll especially for his store, a project that I am really excited about! I will let you know how it all goes. There are a few events in and around Vancouver coming up with Natural Pod, I'll get the dates soon and post them up here. Bridgitte has a good selection of my dolls and am trying to replenish her stock weekly.

Phew, that was a stressful week. Our home had multiple offers on the day of our Open House last Saturday and today all the subjects came off. We did pretty well and got above our asking price. Hubby has already spent the extra $$ (in his mind) on new gardening and greenhouse equipment and I’ve spent it (again in my mind) on getting tonnes of dollmaking supplies. Lol, we are so lame!

We are off to Vancouver Island to look for a new home tomorrow. I am eyeing one on the internet that has a chicken coop. This is very appealing. I’ll let everyone now how things are progressing.

I’ve finished making up a Daffodile Fairy this week, she is inspired by all the lovely green nubbins that are poking through the soil in my garden. I’ll post a pic as soon as I can find my camera. I’ve also made up 5 new blanket dolls. As soon as I find the camera I’ll post all these pics and have them up for sale on Natural Waldorf Toys. I also finished up a doll for a little girl in California today, she turned out really well. I’m trying out some new yarns that I had custom made for doing the dolls. I’ve found a wonderful spinner that is spinning different types of wools with mohair to make a slub yarn in ‘hair’ colours.
