I'm on FaceBook

Oh my mercy, I did it, I figured out the beginnings of FaceBook- HA!! I have a page set up for Lightning Bugz dolls- here's the actual url: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-US-West/Lightning-Bugz/390194831969?v=wall For some reason, it is easier for me to post there. I will still post on the blog, but sneak peeks and custom photos will go up there. I hope you will come on over and become a "fan"- we're getting close to me doing a giveaway doll :)! Working on customs this week and next and then hopefully a couple of ready to go dolls before April too :) Only 2 more April slots- hurry and grab it before they're full :)

Spring's in the Shop (and working on customs)

Here she is... Miss Spring! I love her to pieces. She has "yellow" hair with mostly pink highlights- love love love her! She's ready for sale in my shop, and ya can't beat the darling strawberry shirt :) Too sweet! I called her Spring because I am so ready for it to arrive, and she personifies all I love about the season, the happiness, the warmth, and the smile!


I've also been really busy on customs lately... Here's two that are done. Candy and Lolli. I am so thrilled with how they both turned out. They have on "cover-ups" because they get to be doll clothes models. They had to have something warm to go home in though :). So the swimsuit or towel cover-up was born! They just ooze sunshine to me :) Perfect for Spring fever people like me...


Candy


Lolli

Have a great one everybody- I'll touch base again soon! Working on lots more customs for the next week or two! Then hopefully more ready to go dolls before my April customs begin, we'll see how it goes :) May every moment be filled with Lightning Bugz :)

Holy Cow Catchup!!

Oops, as you can see, I get making dolls and the blog goes to the bottom of the list :) Here's the latest, all of my ready to go dolls, except one, are sold. WOWSERS! My custom fairy shipped out today- you should see her, just divine! Pop over to flickr to see the Ladybug Fairy Ellie :)! And I now have all of my March customs slots full, well almost, I have one left- if you hurry you can grab it :) Then we start April openings :). I want to be able to make some ready to go dolls too, so I am trying to weigh the time I have for part customs and part ready to go. If you are interested in a custom, this is what I need:
eye color
hair color, length, style
hair mixin color, if any
skin color
So easy peasy :) The less info you give me the more fun I have, and I betcha the cuter the doll turns out! Somehow they just have a way of getting their own personality! A favorite color or something that simple and we're off :)! So there you have it. I got more dolls cut out today- now off to sew. Tata everyone- have a day filled with sunshine and Lightning Bugz!

Close...


Getting really close on 4 dollies (and a custom)! Ready for heads- working on those today :) I am so anxious to get these beauties listedin the next few days- I was hoping for tomorrow, but with the holiday yesterday (and our dejunk party :)) it might be Thursday. There will be one fair skin, one light tan, and two brown. I have crazy funky fun hair planned- so excited to see them come together! I have one outfit ready, and three others to work on. Will be a busy day to get my list done- I'm off! I'll post Flickr photos as I get each one ready :) Have an awesome day :) - and may it be filled with Lightning Bugz!!

Busy, Busy, BUSY!!

Sorry that I haven't gotten more dolls in the shop, ready to go, yet! I have been so busy, and am working soooo hard to get everything done. I am currently working on 4 custom Waldorf dolls, a custom doll outfit, and a custom doll blanket and pillow set. So once I get these all finished, there WILL be some dolls in the shop :) I am just giddy about these dolls- it is amazing to watch their personality come as I make them. It makes me smile, and giggle too! The face and hair is my favorite part- it all comes together and I can sit back and think of the child that will love it so much! So, there's the latest, just busy here! I am shooting for mid next week to have some ready mades in the shop (unless I get more custom orders before then)! Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to need less sleep- HA! Have a terrific day and may it be filled with Lightning Bugz :)

Sweet Anna

Well, I thought I would have this little girl in my shop tomorrow, Monday the 8th. But she got sold to a visitor today that came by the house. Along with another that I have yet to make. I just had to put up some photos, 'cause I LOVE carrot top red heads and I think she turned out so stinking cute :)!!! What a sweetie!!
