Recently my 2 year old Lola has been asking me "Are you happy?" with a big fake smile on her face. She usually asks right after I reprimand her for doing something naughty but, sometimes she asks when I seem tired or rushed. It's made me aware that I'm not so good at hiding the stresses of every day life from my face. I am working on that.Tonight I was giving both girls a bath. Sophie (7) started to spray her sister with the water from her rubber duckies and suctioning them to her body which resulted in silly farting sounds. We all started to laugh hysterically. Lola stopped and said "Mommy, you're happy! You're happy I'm me!".
Truer words were never spoken.
Katy!
Congrats Katy! Please send me your info via email. Thanks all for entering!!

Some snapshots of my favorite things - from around my house . :)
I am working on another wholesale order! This time for minifashionista - an online shop based in Australia. They wanted really girly dolls so I went with some butterflies & flowers. :)
Line + Liv is a super cute childrens shop in Flensburg, Germany. I've been asked to create 4 dolls for them. Please meet Molly, Liv, Pauline & Juni. Three of the dolls are named for the shop owner's daughters.
Dolls should be available late October.They also have a great blog.
These little lovelies were custom made for Fawn & Forest. There are 4 style dolls inspired by a modern day Little Red Riding Hood.
Check fawnandforest.com in September to purchase!
Yesterday was a good snail mail day. After seeing Jane Foster's amazing hand screened cats, I contacted her to see if she would want to do a swap. I came home to this cuteness waiting in my mailbox (along with the newest issue of Cookie & a Paper Source catalogue). Icing on top!She has a wonderful (colorful) blog that she seems to update daily. She posted photos of her studio a few days ago & the fabric stash that she has is ENVIABLE!Thanks Jane. I love my cat and have hidden it from the girls for now. : )
(Sorry about the crappy photo quality. My camera is in for repairs!)
Just got my (free) moo cards in the mail. They are running a 50 free business card trial offer. The only catch is that they add an advertisement/coupon band across the bottom. Who cares? They are still stinkin' cute & I love the way moo packages everything with a 'Yay!' sticker. YAY!See if this link works for you!
My favorite thing about making these dolls is designing their little outfits. It was the best aspect of my old clothing line too. Now I don't have the stress of having each piece graded, fitted & produced. (Still, I miss it.)These little lovelies are for a special custom wholesale order. I was asked to do a woodsy theme so, this is my modern take on Little Red Riding Hood & her friends. I will be posting some pics & more info when the actual dolls are ready! I always say this, but, these are my FAVORITE so far!
