I am pleased to announce that I will be joining the Indie Banditas for a Valentines Bazaar in Bainbridge Island, WA on February 13th. I have a few special product lines I will be unveiling as the show date approaches.

Admission is $1 or the donation of a canned good.

I am delighted to say that after 10 years of moonlighting in arts, I am finally launching my doll business full time. January 1st was my last day working my 9-5 job. I am a compulsive list maker and you should see the oodles of lists and plans I've made just in the last two days. There will be no shortage of keeping busy around these parts :].

Here is to hoping everyone has a wonderful 2010! (I think many of us are about due to have a good year!) The above Pink Ice Pillow form doll is a new addition to my etsy shop.

In an effort to streamline my internet presence (and because SquareSpace is neat), I am combining my website and blog. One less link to link to things :]. This will hopefully afford me more time to work on important stuff, like perfecting microwave smores (and/or making dolls!).

The newest addition--the westie! Oh my, what are we getting ourselves into? As you can see, she sleeps a lot. :] (Hehe this (top pic) is what I look like when I get woken up 5 times during the night.)

I feel bad about neglecting my blog lately. I set up a destash supply shop on etsy called DollDestash. Sorting and listing items has been taking up so much of my after work time. I still have so many things to photograph and add. Here are some of the shop goodies :].

Grace (puppy at the top) is doing well. She is just about potty trained and is becoming very feisty--the 'no bite' and 'off' training is now in place. She gives you the most hurt/tortured look when you scold her. Besides the day job, that has been about it. I've been designing and sketching a lot. Hopefully I will have a chance to work on some of these things soon--I am really excited about them! First I need to focus on the pile of laundry that has migrated into the downstairs hall. ;/
