Three New Pocket Poppet Dolls

Time has flown by, but I at least finally got some pics taken of the stash of Pocket Poppet dolls I've had ready for a while now.

I also made up two dolls from the last pattern I purchased with the button leg joints, the one I can't actually sell.  I did one stuffed with polyester fiberfil, and the other stuffed with pure wool.  I'll get photos of both done hopefully by the end of this upcoming weekend, and do a comparison of working with polyster versus wool stuffing. 

But for now, here are three new Pocket Poppet dolls, ready for purchase in my Etsy store.  :)

New Items Listed-Bunnies and Ponies and Dragons (Oh, My!)

Okay, only one pony, but still, I finally got pictures taken of some of my newly finished toys, and have them in my Etsy store.

The little bunnies are just the right size for many sixteen inch fashion dolls to cuddle, and even twelve inch dolls.  Your doll needs a bunny, right?  After all, Easter is coming up!

I still can't get enough of the wee dragons, and will definitely keep making more.  The latest entries are in greens and blues.

The new pony continues the color scheme, in a lovely mint green with teal blue mane and tail.

I have more bunnies to photograph, and Pocket Poppets, but between the paying job, my limited photography skills and rather crummy weather leading to crummy indoor lighting, it will be another few days before I get those needed pics taken.

In the meantime, here are some photos of my latest offerings. 

More Wee Dragons!

Because this pattern is so much fun to make up, here are three more done up.  I made up two others, but they already found homes before I posted pics of them here.

It's not quite an army yet, but I do get the impression these dragons are in the planning stages...  :D

These will be up for sale in my Etsy store very soon.  Watch for some sales and promos coming up soon, especially as we approach my favorite holiday of the year, Easter.  (Long story, but it boils down to my parents let me believe in the Easter Bunny instead of Santa Claus.)

And now, back to more photos.  :D

New Dolls (And Their Colorful Dresses) Nearly Ready!

This month has flown by, and I have not had as much sewing time as I thought I would.  I have been able to do quite a bit more than I have been over the last few years, but I've been sidetracked by things like my clutter filled house, and specifically my clutter filled home office.

So while I haven't been able to do the marathon hours of crafting I'd envisioned, I am very happy with what I'm making.  I have some new Binky Boos ready to list, and also eight Pocket Poppet dolls nearly done.  I've decided to go in a little different direction with the Etsy store and these dolls.  I'm going to make new dolls with a simple dress and shoes, and then offer outfits separately.  That way folks who just want the doll can save a few dollars, and those who want the doll and several outfits (maybe for a lovely Valentine's Day gift or Easter basket!) can pick the "base" doll they like, and not worry if another doll has that perfect outfit.

We'll see how that works out.  :D

I also have taken on two custom orders, which I told myself I would never be interested in doing.  However, both are I believe within my skill set (most important to me), and are also fun (just as important).  One is a custom set of Pocket Fox dolls for someone's upcoming wedding vow renewal ceremony this year.  The other is interpreting a character from an independent author's children's book.  So those are also distracting me a little bit, but in a very good way.

In the meantime, here are pics of the eight Pocket Poppets who are still patiently awaiting shoes, and then final photos for Etsy.

 I stocked up on some different colors of LIon Brand Homespun yarn, which I love using for doll hair.

And finally, a shot of all the dolls, and one of my "helpful" kitties supervising.  :D
