2013 Review

I can't believe 2013 is over and done with!

It has been an exciting and busy year for my little creative business.

Selling my creations on the local market on Saturdays has been a wonderful endeavour for me and I loved meeting customers and making new friends.

I didn't sell on any type of market for at least 10 years so it was a bit scary, but now I feel I got the routine down. At first I was scared that I would not be able to make enough during the week since I was also still working my day job, but it all worked out.  

My Etsy shop has of course also been a big part of my business. 

So this year I wanted to see what I actually made , and here are some mosaics with my creations from 2013.

Sadly I missed taking a bunch of pictures of items I sold on the market 

because I would finish them the night before and never got a chance .

Regardless I'm quiet impressed of what I've accomplished !

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this wonderful journey.

Oh, I also reached 1000 likes( now 1080) on my facebook page!

That's HUGE for me ! Honest!!!!

Love you all!!

:)

So here as promised the collections:

 and my one and only full size doll.....

Celeste!  

Thank you again for your support and stay tuned . 

I plan to have a busy year 2014 as well and hope to realize a whole bunch of new ideas.

Happy New Year and all my best wishes to you!

May all your dreams come true!

My last custom dolls of 2013

Can you believe that the year is now almost over?

It has been a busy one for sure.

These have been the last dolls I made before and for Christmas.

All 3 stayed local.  :)

For this sweetie I made clothes in more natural earthy colors .

The bamboo wool is still one of my favorite wool to work with.

I need to find more of it.

And here my last pocket baby for 2013.

Love the orange/purple fabric combinations .

 Here now also my last custom 12" cuddle doll for 2013.

 He's a little cutie for sure!

Pirate time....

I had a custom request for a pirate a few weeks ago and was really looking forward to make him.

I'm happy to introduce to you this little pirate .

 His eye patch can be removed and he can show you his pretty grey eyes.

The cutlass and belt are made from wool felt .

Gosh, I had so much fun making him. 

I need to make more pirates.....

I also made a pirate out fit for his sister doll.

Dress , eye patch and hat.  

:0)

Facebook likes and give away

My facebook page is very close to 1000 likes .

That is a huge milestone for me and I want to thank everyone who is following me,

 by having a give away once I reach that 

magical number.

Since Christmas and the holiday season is getting close , I thought it would be nice to 

have the give away for a custom made 12" Velour Cuddle Doll.

You could pick the skin , hair , eye and body color and what color you would like for the clothes

Doesn't that sound like fun?

I need your help so that I can start the give away!

Thank you already !

I appreciate all of you!

Sweet little Hanna

 This is sweet little Hanna.

Little Hanna is one of those dolls that makes me happy every time I look at her.

I don't really know why, but she does make my heart sing!!!!

I'm sure a big part of it is her cute face

but the colors must have something to do with it too.

Everything works so well together. 

Her reversible dress, the jacket and the pink hair band, well and of course the hair....

Little Hanna found a new home and is looking forward to meet her new family.

Custom girls

I got to make 3 custom cuddle dolls for a local lady recently.

2 sister dolls and one for a niece .

She fell in love with the purple matryoshka fabric and so each doll got some of it ,

either for body fabric or as dress.

 

I love how they turned out.

Faces, colors and all.

This is the other side of the reversible dress.

This little girl turned out to be very cute as well. 

The little pig tails give her just that little extra sweetness.

I sure hope this dolls make their new mamas happy.

A custom doll ready to go

Last week I finished this sweet red haired doll for a local customer.

The customers daughter is going to spend some time in Africa and she wanted a doll that resemble her.

How sweet is that?

I really love how the hazel eyes and the red hair work so well with the colors of her clothes.

 I found an African themed fabric in my stash to make the skirt.

Proofing again that fabric hoarding has it's purpose. 

:)

Meet Molly

 This is Molly my newest 12" cuddle doll.

She comes with a reversible cotton dress with velcro closure on the shoulders and a headband 

She is such a little sweet heart!

New items for the market

I have been busy over the last few weeks , creating items for the market.

Still not even close to being done, but a great start.

This is Lucy

She is a 12 inch cuddle doll

 Her cotton dress is reversible and has velcro closure for easy dressing

 How about this cute pocket pirate with bag?

The bag has a velcro closure and can be hung from a belt loop.

I think he's just too cute!

 This little girl comes with a flower purse 

Then there's also a pocket gnome with a mushroom hat and mushroom.

I also made a bunch of new Mini Babies......

.......and Bunny Blankets.
