ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity to win! FB fan Heather Derksen
I am on Face book. My advice would be, I would like to see sets. I love the white dress with blue flowers and I may have been more tempted by it had it included a shirt and pants in the same color family. I would love one stop doll clothes shopping a mix and match set as it were.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Hi! I love your unique petal skirts!!
ReplyDeleteMy advice is to add some lighter, girly colors into your collection, like pinks or lilac. I've popped into your shop a few times, and love the styles, but the colors are a little sophisticated for my daughters liking (mind you, she loves rainbows and color, lots of it!) :)
Hey, maybe a rainbow petal skirt...! :)
Thanks!!
I just became a blog follower too :)
ReplyDeleteHi! My favorite item in your shop is the Lilypad Petal skirt and top set, it is so cute with the tulle shoulder strap accents. My advice would be, for the doll quilts you sell, have a pic in each listing showing one covering a doll completely so everyone can see how much room there is to spare.:)I am a FB follower and you are an etsy fav. too!
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOH I <3 the blouse in blue on a bamboletta!!!!! I love Polly she is looking goood!!!! She is doing great at modeling!!!! YOU GO POLLY!!! lol
ReplyDelete:))
Hi there
ReplyDeleteI've just become a fb fan, have had your shop in my Etsy faves for a while. My favourite item in your shop at the moment would have to be the Lily Pad Petal skirt and top. I would be very tempted by punky/funky type of fabrics ;) Thanks, Lisa.
Becoming a blog follower right now!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Lilypad Petal Skirt and Top and I also really like the wings!
ReplyDeleteAs for advice, I agree that funky/punky material would be great!
I'm a facebook fan. I love the petal skirts or the tops, maybe both equally. But right now I'm eyeing the confection doll quilt on etsy.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry you're not feeling well :( Here's my extra entry to distract you from that uncomfortable tube ...
ReplyDeleteToday was the first day of school in my district, also the first day of K for my firstborn. Very busy, very emotional last few days. Well, an armed man was reported in our area of town, so the local schools and hospital went on lock down for about 90 minutes this morning. Very scary! The scene ended with that man taking his own life, so sad. No one else was physically harmed, and the schools/hospital were in no eminent danger. Such a stressful day. I hope yours was better!

a paragraph? shooot. ok. :)
ReplyDeleteonce upon a time... heehee.
I'm at work. 3 more minutes and I can leave. My son told me not to pick him up too early from school so he can play. My daughter told me to pick her brother up first so she can play longer. I'm thinking about going home and telling my hubby to pick them both up. LOL! ok, not really. 1 more minute.
I hope you feel ok! :)
I am sorry that you are not doing well. I am a cut & paste kinda lady and I would like to go and find something really interesting or strange and put it here. I think you would enjoy that more. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6823EY20100903
ReplyDeleteMay not be a paragraph but it will make you chuckle or be in shock! Should distract for a minute! Hope you feel better!
Here's a poem I just wrote special for you :) Hope it helps you forget that nasty tube!!
ReplyDeleteTwas the night of the upload and all through world
not a lady was stirring away from her mouse.
The supper that was prepped earlier with care,
Now boiled over, the chef unaware.
The children turned loose, jumped on their beds,
While visions of waldorf dolls dancced in their heads.
The hubby with his laptop and me on the Mac
had just settled down for a panick attack.
Then on the website there arose such a gem,
And I sprang into action as soon as I saw them.
Into my cart she flew like a flash
checkout and shipping and paypal for cash.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
"Oops your order is already completed" - oh dear!!
LOL Tia--um, I am not sure how I can possibly follow such a great comment!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a couple of Chicago jokes? Here they are!
Chicago has only two seasons: winter and construction.
You know Elvis is dead because he's registered to vote in Chicago.
If they can dye the river green on one day, why can't they dye it blue the other 364?
And just a couple more:
You Know You're From Chicago If...
You know the difference between The Loop and Downtown.
You drink "pop."
You understand what "lake-effect" means.
You know what goes on a Chicago style hot dog.
Hope the next hours with the tube go by quickly!!! :)
Cristina
Oh golly what to write about?
ReplyDeleteOk I will repost a blog entry of mine for last year about now.
Space Derby and other embarrassing moments.
My son is in cub scouts this means space derby. Before this month I did not know what space derby was.
Pretty much each kid is given a kit that contains some stuff and wood things. Then the wood is sanded to take it from a boxy shape to a space ship or phallic shape.
I use to think this was something the boys were supposed to do. After M has worked on sanding for almost 2 weeks now I have asked around and I was incorrect. Apparently the sanding is a parental responsibility.
Anyhow I am a master of the multitasking so I tossed the space derby kit into my on the go bag. Today I arrived at F’s school 30 minutes before class gets out and I gathered my wood and sandpaper to sand. I get out of my car because I do not want my car to fill with wood shavings and begin to sand.
As I am “sanding” it occurs to me that I have “read” about the motions I am using before only it was NOT to sand something much less a space ship.
Just as I am convinced that I am certainly the only person who would look at me and think Why is that woman giving a hand job to a piece of wood. 2 other moms look up laugh and ask me what I am doing.
ok, an update...
ReplyDeleteDs & I went to pick up dd and she was crying. She was sitting at a table coloring and all of her friends left one by one until she was the last one there. So she decided it was time to cry. (she's 3)
She also thought that I told her not to poop at school. WTH? So... there she was, holding it in.... um... lovely. We had an, "it's ok to poo" talk with teacher today. LOL!
======================================
I love the poem!
wth is pop? (just kidding) ;)
and LOL!!! a space ship, huh? giggle!
cheating again reposting the best from my blog
ReplyDeleteI have had a pile of baby things in my entry way for LN and Sean for months now. Yesterday in a cleaning frenzy we put all the stuff into the back of my van with some unknown plan of getting them the heck out of my house and in theory to Sean and LN.
Then last night we went to Tony’s company Holiday party and I had a tantrum. It was an adult like tantrum and I did not end up crying loudly or stomping on the floor but I did watch someone walk away with a look on my face which would shame a hurt puppy and I had to turn my back on a crowd so I could regain my composure.
I came home and realized that my need is very minor compared to so many other peoples needs right now. My needs are much more in the range of wants and I need to not think of frivolous like eating out or buying video games as needs. They are alas just things we want and certainly do not need. My needs include paying for my kid to play chess and take a Playball class after school. We really have what we need.
Tonight we stopped to have dinner at the Big Chicken. As we finished our meal a family came to sit near us. The grandmother dressed in her uniform, the mom very pregnant, and her 7 year old son in high water blue jeans in 40 degree weather. My daughter could not take her eyes off the mom. She smiled and started a conversation with the family. We joined Poppy in her social interaction answering the questions about her age and such.
I asked the mom when she is due. She replied any day now with a girl just like mine. Then I struggled with how to ask what I really wanted to know.
Do you need anything for your baby?
She struggled then with polite conversation and how to not sound needy. I took the mom to the back of my van and unloaded just about everything into this mom’s car. A swing, a boppy, a bouncy seat, and 2 - 18 gal storage totes worth of baby clothes, socks, mittens, blankets and sleepers. She just about cried.
She had nothing but a few sleepers and a pack of diapers. In a time where everyone is struggling she was just not quite getting around to what she needed and I happened to have it.
Thanks for the gentle lesion universe! I do hope Sean and LN understand.
I love your wings!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to write a spectular sequel to the poem from the other day but I seem to have acquired writers block today.....
ReplyDeleteInstead I will just tell you what I am doing instead of what I should be doing. I am playing on the computer and painting my nails (something I haven't done for probably 8 yrs). I should be finishing up my big Bitty Bag order so I can get back to customs and RTG stuff for the shop. I also should be pricing all the treasures (read that as junk) for the yard sale we are having tomorrow.
My 3yr old woke up a boogery mess and has been grouchy and miserable all day. And his sister who is in great spirits is having fun by doing anything she can to irritate him.
I hope you are having a good day Deborah :) Who's your favorite Bambo in the upload today? We always seem to have similar tastes.
Tia McFarlane
OK here goes! hope some of these are entertaining! I read a few from the chicago post earlier!
ReplyDeleteYou know you are from Alaska when:
1. Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a motor home on the highway.
2. "Vacation" means going to Anchorage for the weekend.
4. You know several people who have hit moose more than once.
5. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
7. Your grandparents drive at 65 mph through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
8. You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
9. You install security lights on your house and garage, and leave both unlocked.
10. You think of the major food groups as: deer meat, beer, fish, and berries.
12. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the grocery store at any given time.
13. You know what Bunny Boots are.
14. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
15. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
16. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.
18. You didn't know what the word "county" meant, and we were never taught about "area codes"... 907 is all you had to know
19. You think bald eagles aren't that great
21. You wish seagulls came with a mute button
22. You can go to McDonalds and order off the $1.50 menu which they feel is equivalent to the $0.99 menu
24. You have to have a raven cage around your trash to keep them out
25. You go to school, work, or both in the dark and come out in the dark
26. 30 degrees is shorts weather
27. -10 is a bit nippy
28. Buses leaving school are delayed because a bear is in the parking lot
29. You tell people you live in an igloo for kicks
30. You don’t swim in natural bodies of water for fear of swimmers itch or beaver fever...or leeches
31. Having a moose in your front yard is a legitimate excuse for being late to work
Continued in my second post!
hi! my advice for your shop would be to have other dolls by other doll makers as models. not everyone can get their hands on a bambo and it's nice to see how other dolls look in the clothing too=)
ReplyDeletei "like" your page. i LOVE your quilts!!!
