A Major Milestone

I was checking my email last night, and saw that I had 1 new message...it was from Etsy.  Deep breath...and it was an order confirmation from Etsy.  I couldn't believe it.  My very first Etsy sale (my St. Patrick's Day doll).  It had been a little over 3 weeks since I first opened my shop.  Three long weeks of constantly wondering if I'd ever get a sale, would anyone want to buy one of my clothespin dolls???  I was so excited and I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. 

I shipped the doll out this morning and now I'm left feeling nervous and anxious.  Will she like the doll?  Will she leave positive feedback?  It seems I am a worrier by nature...

Kicking Out the Clothespin Dolls!


So, I'm still kicking out clothespin dolls like crazy!  I have a billion ideas for different types of dolls, and a very limited amount of time to actually make the dolls.  But, here are a few that I've made over the past week or so. 



St. Patrick's Day Doll



Hip Knitting Doll



Mother & Daughter Dolls



Doctor/Nurse Doll

Definitely feel like I'm getting more creative with the dolls and their accessories.  I'm especially loving the ability to sculpt miniature accessories out of oven bake clay!  So fun and adorable, I can hardly stand it :)
