it has been a longg time since I blogged. I though I could blog daily *sigh*.

So a lot happened since last time I blogged, I have attend to a craft fair here in Ann Arbor.

Lara & me dolls at the Ann Arbor market It was a fine day, it was cold but my boot was on the sunny side of the fair so it was really hot! I mean HOT! we even stripped down to our t-shirts at one point.
I made a couple of sales that day, since it was my first fair ever, I think that was ok but the best thing was, I made a lot of friends at the fair.

And also I have been experimenting with Kool-Aid dying. I have come up with pretty good results, was able to achieve a cute reddish brown and light brown which will be my next dolls hair :)

And made a couple of dolls since then. Speaking of dolls, I only make 1 doll a week, since I want every doll I make to be perfect and special so I take my time and do not mass produce. Sometimes I fell in love with the fabric, sometimes with a yarn so i start making my dolls around that piece. In the coming days I will keep a daily journal (w/pics) of my doll making, how I start and what I do everyday, so if anyone is interested in my dolls can get better understanding how I make them :) so stay tuned..
