Working on Dolls

My husband snuck in and started taking pictures when I was working on a new pattern a few weeks ago (clearly my hair is still dark). I'm not one of those people with a fancy studio, stages my life to look perfect, or even puts on makeup everyday. Seriously, I live in the real world, who has time for that?! So here's a peek at messy me and my 'studio'...ENJOY!



I caught him! Then he made me laugh! We are such dorks! :)









Do you have any pictures of your creative space or studio? I'd love to see them!

Scrawny Girl Etsy Shop Open

I tried a few different selling platforms and decided to stick with Etsy. I felt like this was the best decision for my business for now. I have 7 handmade dolls up for sale, with 3 of them on sale. The sale dolls are patterns I designed, but didn't love. I'm super excited to have found a focus, and I have really enjoyed designing and sewing these dolls. I can only foresee lots of fun experimenting with my designs, and improving my sewing skills.

Please check out my shop and let me know what you think or if there is something you'd like to see! Thanks!

Happy Vinyl Day

Happy Valentines Day!

Right now my husband is playing a show in town with Lucero. So I am making chocolate mustaches and hearts, listening to vinyl, and dyeing my hair. Amelia is sleeping in her swing like a little angel.

My husband and I have a Valentines Day tradition where we buy each other vinyl and usually eat Asian food. So it's been a great day!




I've also been hard at work on my dolls and a cute (and quick) business card idea. Here's a sneak peek at some unfinished dolls.





I hope everyone had a wonderful day and stay tuned for the official opening of my shop soon!
