Happy Saturday

Just a little reminder that all of my Ebay auctions are ending tomorrow- Sunday evening. 
I hope you are having a wonderful blue skies weekend. <3

Downsizing

 

 

My studio destash sale has begun. 

 

All items will end on Saturday - Sunday January 19- 20, 2013. 

This little Pich Pich licca doll is just one of the many looking for a new home. Many of my other favorites dollies are available as well, including my Kamars, M'zelle Paname, Pose Dolls, Lady Licca, Scarlet and more. Along with the dollies there are loads of clothes, cases, fabrics, furniture and a beautiful vintage Singer featherweight sewing machine.

It's really hard to let many of them go, but I feel better knowing they will go to new homes where they will be more appreciated and have new adventures. 

Dust and scratches

There were too many ideas swirling around my mind to try to carve one girl at a time.  So here are a few of the 10 little faceplates I've given new identities in the last 2 days.  Next time I must remember to wear a mask. I'll be coughing up Blythe dust for the next week I'm sure.  lol

While carving, I went in search of a little tool I needed-- one thing led to another as it does and I started preparing for a studio de-stash sale to begin this Sunday. Stay tuned...

A new year to try again...

I hope everybody is having a wonderful start to the new year! I'm very happy to have spent the day moving toward one of my goals for this year-- I must sculpt my own doll. It has been a dream of mine for so loong to create my own dolls, but I constantly stand in my own way. It's gotten so ridiculous that I'll even use doing laundry as an excuse! But today, I gathered all my strength and finally made myself sit down and just start! I ignored the dishes, laundry, unmade beds, Christmas tree that still needs to be taken down and a million other chores that were screaming my name.  The clay in my hands was the best feeling in the whole world-- so much better than washing dishes! I'll share progress pics soon and hopefully my little dolls will turn out something like they live in my head.

While they dry I'm carving a new Blythe-- another goal for this year-- get back to more customizing.

I have so many ideas spinning in my head it's almost hard to know where to start and once again my studio looks like a whirlwind flew through. That is not a goal, haha! I will never be able to keep that place clean.  I have tried and tried, but I just can't keep it organized while I'm working-- and nothing good gets done either. I clean up and organize between projects, but during a project- anything goes.   

 

A New Home for the Wanderlings

I've revamped my little bit of cyberspace and am excited to have blogger as our new home and main website. The old will still be up for awhile- basically for my mailing list. Also, I've signed up with Store Envy- which seems to be a wonderful free place for sellers and buyers. Still looking into auction software and hopefully will be able to run my own auctions fairly soon. 

In the meantime, I've been working on a batch of vintage von Pinkteas and little Lost Things.  There will be new styles and textures to choose from, as well as a few of the oldies, too.  I plan to have them ready mid to late January, along with a new custom Blythe doll who will be looking for a new home as well.

I'm also very excited that I will be teaching a customizaton workshop at Blythecon NYC 2013 next October. I'm making it a 4 day weekend and cannot wait to meet all of the amazing people I have known online for so many years. <3 If anybody wants to get together for shopping, dinner or mini meets please get in touch! I still have no idea where I'm going to stay, lol.

Well, I hope you enjoy our new little home (base) with us.  Thank you everybody for all of the love and support you have given to me over the years with all my little endeavors.

Merry Christmas Eve

Wishing you all safe and happy holidays <3
