Last year in 2018 I did two smaller craft shows to get myself back into the maker habit. Funds were tight so my inventory was small and my booth decor was done on a shoestring budget. But it made me smile to see everything put together like this: For that look last year, I purchased […]
Just Smile
She’s smiling because she’s blissfully in love. This doll face was designed to be the archtype of the lover. When I started digitizing doll faces for my embroidery machine back in 2015, I set out to create 12 faces to embody 12 archetypes based on the psychology of Carl Jung. But I only finished 8 […]
Prepping for Holidays (already)
It’s still hotter than heck outside but I’m already working to prep for the 2019 holiday season. There are many new designs on my worktable and some have already been made in multiples for the holiday craft fair season.

2019 Craft Trends
What crafts are trending in 2019? Here’s what I saw at the latest Craft Industry Trade Show.
Creativation…Here I come!
Ten years ago when I joined the handmade world, I learned about a trade show for the craft industry where professional crafters would gather for workshops and new product launches. The dreamer in me wanted to attend events like that but the expense was too high, and my endeavors were too new. A lot has […]

The shop will be temporarily closed while I travel for the holidays. I’ll return on January 2nd to reopen the store and begin working on new dolls for 2019. Happy Holidays!
