We have a winner, believe it or not.
Jen A. Johnson, you win the 12" Waldorf redhead !
Congratulations!
Let me know if you would like a boy doll or a girl doll.

Thank you all for participating. I am slowly catching up on your blogs and websites. This is a time consuming task, since I stop and 'awwww' and 'ahhhh' and gasp quite often. You guys have beautiful kids!!
It is incredibly inspiring.

In other news, my last shipment encountered some customs problems, which explains the delay. Apparently, packages were too pretty and gained unnecessary attention. I just hope they didn't ruin the packaging and that all dolls arrive safely.

It is time for the July Giveaway !

So.

Are you here, yet?

Good.

Would you like to participate in the Giveaway extravaganza?

Yes?

Good.

Giveaway will be a 12" Organic doll. I will start working on her this weekend.

In order to apply, ( I love using grown up language.) you have to be a fan,

and follow this blog. Just write down your fan name and blog following name.

What else?

If you have any special requests for this doll, write them down here, and I may use them in making the

doll.

Giveaway line up will close on  July 14th, and the winner will be picked randomly.

Good Luck!

What I really have to do, one of these days, is take a few photographs of my studio.

Just, not today.

 

 

 

 

It is a lovely, spacious room, with 5 french doors overlooking our huge, old blackberry tree.

The branches and leavs of the Apricot tree, brush against the windows when the wind blows.

Just,

not today.

 

 I have imported the lovely pink wallpaper from the UK.

It was incredibly expensive but I love it. It has a calming effect.

The white net curtains are very plain, in contrast with the beautiful curtain poles, curtesy of

Restoration Hardware.

The shabby armchairs are the result of one hectic afternoon, years ago, in a flea market, on a very, very hot day.

Much like today.

 

 I need three tables. Four, even.

One for my sewing machines,

One for the computer and for when I sew by hand,

One for cutting and packing.

That one, leaning against the wall, was my husband's desk, way back when,

and when I finally find the time to restore it, it will be my son's desk. It has 9 drawers. Perfect for keeping treasures.

 

 

 

What I really need to do, is be more organized. Put things back in place. Fold fabrics when I am done cutting them. Hide the patterns so that my son does not feel the urge  to demonstrate his newly found cutting techniques.

I have to roll the silk ribbons, return the wool to its box, organize the wool in the drawers, so it does not get dusty.

And tangled.

I have to do that.

Just,

not today.
