Ono Artshow

Come check it out! I have a few paintings and handmade dolls in the show. Fun artwork and fun people. :o)

Le Tarte Swim

When Lisa, of Letarte Swimwear contacted me a few months ago about possibly creating some custom dolls for their new flagship store I was really excited! Letarte sells the cutest swimsuits, so of course the dolls would be wearing nothing less (or maybe nothing more would be a better way to put it). After a lot of fiddling around and experimenting, I came up with these two gals! They are now making their way to a new home on Maui. :o)

Just wanted to wish everyone...

How Time Flies!

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving and I haven't even been able to get half of the things done that I'd like to have finished by now. I've been keeping myself busy and that's why it's been a bit quiet around here lately. I did ask Hoborooster if he could keep an eye on things and maybe post an update or two for me...but it seems he couldn't quite figure out this whole blogging thing. (Notice his look of intense concentration!) Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be posting updates to the shop all week long so don't forget to stop by and have a look around!

Shop Update 2008

My Little Pumpkin

Hobocat is not amused.

Just Wanted to Wish You A...

I'm not sure how many people actually noticed but I've been away from this blog for a while. Not to worry though, it was for a good reason! Things have really picked up for my little etsy shop and it's been keeping me so busy these past few weeks! Etsy is not my full time job (not yet anway!) and I'm still learning how to juggle all of my responsibilites without dropping the ball in any one area. I'm finding out what a challenge it is... and of course, I'd like to apologize to anyone who received a late email or convo from me recently. I really admire those mommys out there with children and a career, who somehow manage to get everything done and maintain their sanity. I don't have any little ones myself (unless a hobocat and hoborooster count) so I can never figure out how they do it!!

So...while hiding out in my little 'craft cave' this month I finished putting together stamps for a bunch of new wholesale orders, I created some new doll patterns for a little project i'm working on with a local business....and I finished a whole batch of brand new stamp designs! They will be done in just a week or two and I'm so excited to finally have some fresh faces to go in the shop! :o) Check back later for a little preview...

Have a safe and happy halloween!!
