A little bit like Santa's workshop:)

Actually as I was taking these pictures, I thought it really isn't that bad.Sewing table.Ironing board. I thought I would love having this on the door. But, it knocks around too much and the sleeping boys are on the other side of the door.My poor quilt waiting for me to finish it. MANY OWLS, waiting to be filled and sewn. I wish there was more time in the day.

I added a few new items to the shop:)

LOVE the colors of this hoot!

Victoria the Fancy Dollie! Let me tell you that my fingers are killing me today from making those little silly flowers in her hair. OUCH!

I will have a new dollie and a new chubby owl to share with you tomorrow:)

Hope you are having a great Thursday!

What a day:/

The craft show ended up being a bust:( There was just no traffic. We are not sure what happened, we are thinking maybe it was the larger craft show that was going on in Duluth. What I do know is that our tents sure were cute!The entire tent!Owls, owls, dolls and my sister/helper:)A closer look.The other table.A closer look.This little desk was soooo cute! It was wood, I painted it blue and put scrapbook paper in the back and in the drawer and put new knobs on it. It was perfect for all these little hoots:)I could really pack this thing:) I framed my magazine feature. It turned out really cute. Now I can put it up in my studio.

My cousin Barb was right next to me. Our tents were like night and day, but really they each really were us to a T!Her husband built her awesome tables!! Her tables were just beautiful as is her work!I wish I would have taken closer pictures of her work! You can find it in her shop though at gingerleephotography.etsy.com.

So there you have it! It was so slow that we packed up early. Too bad:(

I will be filling the shop with lots of goodies in the next week or so. I put a bunch in there yesterday and will be adding some more today!

Dollie custom orders and more

I think I have said this before. When I have to make 1 doll I have to make more then 1. That goes for the owls too. I just can't help it. I thought I would share the process:)10 little dollies all cut out and ready for the pieces to be sewn together.I have been sewing stitches around some of the dollies hair to add some more cuteness.All little pieces sewn together. Now I draw the faces on.All faces are now ready to be painted:)I love what they look like at this stage.At this point I get inpatient and only sew a few of them together. My favorite part is turning them inside out and seeing how they turned out. You can see on the edge of the table how I started some owls because I was getting inpatient.These little ones are the gals that will go in the shop. I tried something new this time and gave them little ruffle skirts. I LOVE how they turned out. It was a little tricky, but I think I got it.This is Mindy! I gave her 3 sets of ruffles. A closer look.She has 2 ruffles.

I have yet to fill the 3 dollie. So what do you think, do you like the ruffles?

While I am busy sewing and stuffing I came up with a new thing for Jonathan to do:)

BUTTONS!!!!

Finally warm weather!

Yesterday was the first nice day since the children got out of school. It has been really hard on the kids, especially Preston who needs to get out and run off some energy. Today is another nice day for them to enjoy the sun.

Shop news...........I am almost at 1000 sales!! I will do a post when I am there! Hopefully it won't take too long. Here are some new items that are now in the shop. They were in the last post, but these are just single items.

The ribbon this dollie is the final touch it needed:)

I love the fabric on this Owl bookend!

I thought I would show you one of my latest favorite pictures.

Jonathan amazed at the bubbles. They take many of these baths in the summer months!
