Titanic doll stuff

This is weird! I opened my blog and it looked normal. Then I signed into it and I can't see anything. I finally found the icon on making a new post but where is the rest of my stuff? OHHH, I don't think I like this. We'll see if I can figure this out. If not, it was nice knowing you all!

Back in January, I was commissioned by a customer to make several doll dresses, replica of the dresses Kate Winslet wore in the movie Titanic. This customer told me I could pick any of the dresses but she wanted as many as I could handle. She was going to have someone make backgrounds from the movie and pose the dolls in front of them then do a YouTube clip on them for the 100th anniversary.

 Unfortunately, the backgrounds didn't turn out as of yet and this customer has posted about the dresses anyway. She's given me permission to also post them now.

As I made each one of these dresses, it was extremely difficult to let them go. Each one took me between 2-3 full days to complete. No offense to this customer but she really did get a bargain. One day, I will charge what other people are getting for their one of a kind items.

Enjoy:

So blogger is not letting me insert titles between the dresses so from top to bottom:
The Tea Gown
The Deck Dress
The Swim Dress
The Pink wool coat
The Jump Dress
The Boarding Suit

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe it's been 5 months since my last post. Honestly, where has the time gone?

This last batch of puppies were all sold and gone by Christmas eve. I even had two people call me to ask for another. Just last week, I got an email from one that asked if we planned on having anymore because the one they got from us was the best dog they'd ever had and a relative wanted one just like her. Sorry folks, we don't plan on having anymore puppies for at least a couple of years.

My doll clothes business has been thriving. Last year, I took the month of February off to design and make several new items. I didn't do that this year because I've been far to busy to close shop for a month. I've been trying to squeeze in a new item here and there though. Back in the fall, I started a FaceBook page and posted on Pinterest for my business and I think this has brought me several new clients. That's a good thing :)

I've been working with a client who is a big fan of the Titanic. I mean the real Titanic. In lieu of the 100th anniversary of it's sinking, she has asked me to make some doll size dresses from the James Cameron Titanic movie. I've now finished that project and she will be posting photos of the dolls in their dresses in front of Titanic scenes. When she gives me permission, I will post that link here.

Since my life is consumed with nothing but doll stuff, there really isn't much else to blog about. I will be going to Disneyland in May. This is the trip that I won when I went to a live taping of a local news show last year. I'm sure I will have something to blog about when I come home.

In the meantime, here are some of my latest items (just because I think every blog post needs photos)
It was Aubrey's 8th birthday in March so I made her a custom Taylor Swift doll and outfit to match. Aubrey is a HUGE Taylor Swift fan!
