I am not ready!!!

I am not ready for Christmas to be here yet. I am not even ready for Preston's birthday which is in 2 days!! Tomorrow I am hoping to get almost the rest of my shopping done:) We will see how that goes. I am trying to get the Christmas gifts I make, finished. I barely have started:/ Maybe I should stop making these...............

These bookends are fun because they can be toys as well:)................A little heavy, but cute:)

I am off to finish about 20 ornaments that need to be mailed out today. YIKES!!

Note to self.............less time on the computer:/

SEWING nonstop

That is kind of how I feel. So much sewing going on over here:) I really never imagined that I would be so busy this year with the shop. Last year was so quiet.

While I am busy doing custom orders and sewing ornament after ornament, I squeeze in some items for the shop. Here are a few of the newest little dollies!

3 of them are for the shop:)

BETHY

SALLY

SUZY

Sally has a similar one:)

Which one is your favorite? Tell mw what you think of the eyes. Do you like them better with shut eyes? You will have to look at old posts or my shop to see the other ones.

I have a ton more ornaments to make. ..................so have a good night:)

A Fun Surprise!

I was featured on this blog tonight!

Just thought I would share!

custom dollies

These little dark skinned dollies turned out pretty darn cute:)The middle one is becoming quite popular in the shop. I have to make a 3rd one this week:) I also want to make some darker skinned ones for the shop, what do you think?

The little dollies are now off new their new homes:)

I had a busy weekend of decorating the tree and house, wrapping presents, sewing and much more. Now I need to get my orders done to be shipped out tomorrow................another late night for me.

I am lovin Etsy right now!

This is my favorite ornament and it is in the "GIFT GUIDE" on Etsy!!

Super fun!!

My sister had me make this doll for one of her friend's daughter. She turned out adorable:)

I forgot to take pictures before I gave it to her, she was so nice to do it for me:) Thank you Stacy!!!

Tomorrow I will have pictures of the 3 custom dollies that will be mailed out today......................unless I forget:/

Have a great weekend!

Have a happy Thursday everyone!

Santa's workshop!

My studio definitely feels like Santa's workshop right now. It has been so hectic with everyone having the stomach flu. I am now the only one left to get the awful sickness:/ In the meantime this is what I have been busy doing.

There is really bad lighting on this side, so sorry for the bad picture.

The ornaments are selling so fast. Luckily I have a few of them already cut up and ready to sew. I hope I have some left to give as gifts:)

These ones are one of my favorites to make.

This one is waiting to be stuffed. I was crazy busy the other night making stuff for the shop. I made 13 owls, like 20 ornaments (can't remember exactly), 4 dolls and 5 mini owls!!!!! Some of the owls were bookends.

A few of them have sold already. I enjoy making these as well:)

More projects to finish. Dollies are the most work out of all the little creations in my shop, besides the quilts.

I am so grateful that I get to bring these to the post office twice a week and sometimes more:) LOVE what I do!

Here is a cute picture of Preston as Hockey:)

He is doing sooo much better this year. No laying on the ice yet:)

Today is another busy day of bringing Preston to school and working on the dollies while Jonathan takes his nap, only to be woken up in a couple of hours to go pick Preston up and then Corrina and Carmen from school and then back to the middle school to pick up Corrina!!! Lots of running around with all these little kids. What else would I be doing?

Have a great day!
