OUCH!!! It hurts!

Alright, I know it has been more than a week since I blogged but I have been really busy both at work and at home
I have put listing new dolls to my shop on hold till May 1st. I would like to make some changes, spring cleaning and such, so Etsy is on hold for a while. But that doesn’t mean I stopped making dolls, in fact I am going forward with full power, for the last couple of mornings I made heads. (You see some of them at the picture above and you also see my itsy bitsy tiny sewing machine, that’s right! I don’t have one of those big/commercial type ones, I use this small machine for everything and so far so good… Also I love its color, nice pretty baby blue) Tomorrow morning I will cut and sew the body parts and stuffing will be done on the weekend. I stopped by and got bunch of new fresh springy fabrics and I have lots of new ideas for the clothing, we are still not in to the spring yet here in Michigan but I am definitely in the spring mood
Making dolls is not an easy thing to do, I am sure if you ask another doll maker she would tell you the same thing. I don’t even remember how many times I stabbed my self with the needle. Some times I covered it with a band aid and continue working, other times it hurt so damn much I had to stop working. But I never had this kind a booboo (as Lara would say - picture on the left) before… I was pulling the string to make the eye line tight that’s when it happened. OUCH!!! It hurts! Oh Well! I love making dolls
I also would like to share happy news on behalf of my dear friend Astrid of karlchen-puppen. She too is going forward with her doll business. This is the kind of news that made me smile all day. I love it when good things happen to my good friends. Way to go my Friend! Congratulations!!
Oh! Here is her blog about the good news!
