Im not online too much at the moment
I have a whopping backlog of orders I'm ploughing through
I vastly underestimated how long it would take to make up the curly tot wigs
I am perming them now ..so it takes much longer ..but the results more permanent
I am aiming to get my back logs out by the end of the week
when Im not making up the wigs ...I am hunting for another kitten
Im missing Winnie like crazy ..so is Zack ..he has no-one to play with ...Sam largely ..sleeps ..by me ..and that's it
he is so laid back nothing bothers him ..except if I wont pick him up and love him when HE wants me too
but we are at the top of a list of British short hairs ..we are going to view them May 16th ...cant wait
and Im waitng to here back if I have a very special little girl
...so kitty talk over ..wig talk
Curly tots /almost done ..custom cut and curls ...almost done
hope to have caught up by the end of this week
Dolls all to be posted by the end of the week
Sam helping
beloved winnie
what a week ...
Sunday ..got to the show and they never received my booking ..
I had some lovely offers of help ..and the organiser got me an extra table ...it was a little tense
the clutch went on the car driving home ...so we have no car for Miniatura ..they cant fix it untill next week
then to top it off
Winnie didn't come home Monday ...I knew in my heart something was wrong
she had a very short life ..but was loved and adored
and I cant thank you all enough for the personal messages I have got
when you work for yourself like I do ..it can be very isolated ..and I dont mind ...I love my work ..and my cats are my constant companions ...they are sat on the table by me now ...:)
loosing one of them is like losing a friend
and Winnie ...lol she never shut up ..never ,,she was always "talking " jumping on me or the other cats ..she demand our attention all of the time ..and we loved it ...
so its very quiet without her
and I have had such lovely messages they have so helped ...thank you all xx
Happy Mothers day !!!
up to my eyes in it ...
anyone waiting for me to e.mail them ...please bear with me
I have been inundated with curly tot inquiries and orders ,,and Im picking through them
YES ,,,Im making more
Yes ..Im making more boots
and some outfits ,
Yes I am taking orders ..
.wait list is a month now ,.and potentially getting longer by the day
but once your on it ..I will try and get your things out as fast as I can
its because I have 2 exhibitions coming up ..so I am trying to fit in dressing some fullsets and making my bears with making up orders
Once March is out of the way ..orders will speed up again
the babies come out to play again
Ok so 2010
didn't start quite how I planned ..colds ..cough ..chest infections ..Sinusitis ...Respiratory infection ..and now ...another cold
the joys of working for yourself ..what stress LOL
Im still managing my 3 happy thoughts a day
and manage it ...I do feel blessed ,,I have an amazing husband ,,,who only flinched slightly when I told him I had gone on the wait list for an enchanted doll ..and said he liked my new Mooqla
my kids a re great ..we rarely argue ...in face we have a pretty good laugh ..and my cats ...Winny and Zack are great ..but little Sam ...still smaller than the other 2 ..he is devoted to me ...and I to him ...I dont have favorites ..honest ..but I saved him ..and its like he knows ...wonderful animal
and spring is coming ..I can feel it ...I see it every day in my work room, buds pushing through the soil ..it's coming
I havent felt this creative since ....Years ..watch this space
Miniatura is 2 weeks a way and I have 2 projects ..and 3 boy dolls ...and hopefully the Thistledown will be here
IM GOING WILD with my wigs ..my beautiful tan babies are my inspiration
god forbid if the HK release are tan ...i THINK i WILL GO A LITTLE CRAZY!
I want a tan Momo and tan Cookie Im thinking :)
I have a box of vintage lace ..violet has a collar on at the moment ,,,Miniatura Im after some silk ...I can feel a gown coming on ............hand made silk roses and vintage lace ..with lati tan
I know I should be thinking of my own tinys comming ...I am honest
and at last I have that illusive boot ...for Lati and my large dolls ..yay
yup feeling good !
Curley Tots
Im so inlove with these new girls and their wigs ..and outfits
I feel all creative ! ete has reminded me I have to do my won dolls too ...Ok
( but I am working on my Mystic Lilly first LOL
prices are going up ..as from Monday
new price list is on my web site ..$5.00 for cuts and curls ...and $1.00 on every wig and $1.00 on shipping
prices on my pelst almost doubled in the past 4 years ..and shipping gone up ..so this is my first raise ..hopefully no more for another 5 years :)
Will nothing make this little girl smile ?
this little girl is causing quite a stir ..well her wig is LOL
With a weeks orders already in..Im seriously considering makeing up some specials to list on Etsy ..its going to be very difficult to reproduce this I think
and I have some storm skys that I know is going to be amazing in this style
this week I got my face-up commisions done ..I dont do them vrey oftern ..but Blossom will see her new girl tommorow ..and I re-did Koori ..I love her !
wig orders will go out tommorow and Saturday ..Im pretty much up to date
and 2 custom Zacks also go out this weekend xx
beautiful Kay
my latest acquisition
Little Fee Shiwoo ..its great to have a little fee back in my house ..and I have always adored the Shiwoo sculpt , whether it was a SD or Mini fee ..so of course the little fee is perfect
the year has started out with a bang ..and gone full pelt into the new year
not only have I added 3 more Lati into the fold .
AND new wig colours ..my dolls are flying out ..and Im working 7 days again
wig ordres are up to 3 weeks wait list
dolls I do have good stock of large Mina and Bracken , Brier Rose and Moona ...but the smaller ones are dwindling
Im trying to think of my happy thoughts too
so far ..even though I had that lousy cough ...and we have had so much cold ..and snow !
today is face-up day ..I have set it aside
I have 2 Hujoo , 1 planetdoll ...a Bobobie sprite and Blossoms Chibi
#
Ok ..cup of tea time ..and time to start !
look who is comming to live with me
I do have a little obsession with Lati ...sadly I had to sell most my Lea when I had to pay my cats Vets fee :(
this year ...I have decided I am going to collect the HK ...a little more selective ,and not by repeat sculpts
I should have bought Cookie when I had the chance ..I love this sculpt , but I managed to get her
I also this weekend adopted a HK unicorn Miel ..so Lily has a Sister !
with Lami , coming to live with me
I am hopeing one day to add a tan Byrul and I rather like Momo
and a Coco will one day come and live with me again
and Im dreaming of a tiny tan Belle ..but on the basic body
and a sugar or Choco Lea
at least I will have a Mystic head though ..rather happy about that
and managed to get the HK girls
spring cleaned today ..accounts all done ..so the wig orders should bw going out Tuesday as promised
Lily , is comming home
just had to be done ..no more Lati for me untill the HongKong
I needed this little girl more than air !
so she is ordered ..with her white sister Iris
Ok update ...I have been lousy since before Christmas ..much better now !
all the late orders have gone now ...orders from the 12th Jan onwards are almost ready
all the doll orders have been shipped !
so Im cooking with gas ..Ooo Im also doing a custom Moona ...HUMAN ! ..ITS WORKED SHE IS Gorgeous ..pictures when she is finished xx
SICK ...................
just a quick update
Ive been under the weather since Christmas ..but felt this comming on the weekend ...
We are snowed under and to top it all .although I can now get in my car ....I have a chest infection from hell ..so cant get out for a couple of days again
I had to go out to the Dcs this morning ..the conditions and the cold ..slayed me
the Antibiotocs should be working by in a few days ..as long as I can get the car to the front of the post office ..I will be Ok ..so I will be sposting the wigs as soon as I can
its so frustraiting ..I dont feel to bad ...just exhausted ...when Im in the house ..Im not too bad ..just coughing like an old man ..!! and I know through past history I have to be careful
the last time I ended up bed ridden for 2 weeks ..sS
its just the walking thing I can do right now , iM RESTINg ..FLUIDS AND MEDS
But I promise ..what ever they will be in the post by the end of the week ...if I'm not better I'm enlisting the help of Hubby to get the mail out
THE WIGS ARE DONE ...I JUST CANT GET THEM OUT :(
so Im taking this time to do some sewing ..and colourcharts ..and sleep xx
