Here Come the Holidays....

Ok a little early but I'm starting to get my Holiday ideas/stock ready.  I only have 2 more months till little miss E arrives.

Today I finished a Cinderella Kokeshi Ornament and as set of Thankful Pilgrims.  Both are in the Shop ready to ship.  I'm just about done with custom wedding orders.  September will be dedicated to working on stock so it's full and ready while I take a few weeks after giving birth.

Let me show you these cuties.....

I think Cinderella needs her Evil Step Sisters.....

I also have some new products I want to work out.  I want to have some ready for the Holiday rush but I may wait to debut them until 2013.  I've also be re-thinking my peg dolls.  There are so many sellers now offering them I want to try to pull my self from the masses.  From all the sellers replicating my style.  I'm thinking of retiring the Original Peg dolls and sticking to the Kokeshi style dolls. I just really love their innocent simple style.  This decision is also based on my where I get my peg dolls from.  It's a hit or miss with the quality of the dolls.  Lately they have reverted back to the old way they made them but I can't be guaranteed I'll get those every time I order.  The kokeshi are more consistent.  Stock will be easier for me.  I won't have to order so many different styles.  I also think it will make the shop more cohesive.

We'll I'm off to finish watching North by Northwest.  Have you seen it?  It's a classic.  I swoon over Cary Grant!

Plush update

Happy Saturday.  I was busy sewing last night while watching the NY Jets pre-season game.
Meet Simon the proper little bear and Finnegan, Fionna's little brother.  He has a thing for mustaches.  Not sure if it will stay the jury is out on that one.   Both Simon and Finnegan are made of light weight corduroy.

I'm already possibly re-designing Simon.  I think he's too skinny.  I might chub him up at bit.  Not sure though.  I'll be added all 3 to the shop this weekend as a pre-launch sale.  They will be available at a discount before the line is officially available.   I won't be taking orders on the plush.  I've decided to make them and list them type of item.  So if it's in the shop it will be ready to ship in approx 24-48 hours of purchase.  I'll announce shop updates of my plush here, on twitter and Facebook.

Now I have to work on doll versions of my popular kokeshi characters i.e....Disney Princesses, Red Ridding hood,  Alice in Wonderland, Leia and Han Solo ect..

Now to introduce you to Simon and Finnegan......

I'd love to know what you think of them!

Enjoy the weekend.
