Shop Sale

    In honor of February, and Valentine’s Day, and Cabin Fever, and the Olympics, and the sun is shining and the sky is blue, and despite the snow being so deep that I cannot walk beyond the goat shed without snow shoes, I’m having a shop sale!  Okay, so I don’t have one reason, but does one ever need a reason… Read More »Shop Sale

    One I didn’t show you here

      I was updating my Etsy listing photos and I realized that I posted pictures of this doll on instagram, but not here.  So for many of you, this is a repeat, but I’m trying to keep a record of what I make, so this was December’s doll.

            Wool for dolls

              I opened my new order of wool stuffing and started on a couple of new dolls.  I also ordered some labels that I need to have for government compliance. (Do you have any idea how many rules you have to follow to make things for children?) I still have a couple of details to finish up on the others I’ve… Read More »Wool for dolls
