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!!

My Doll Giveaway "DEAL"

Ok, here it is. I've been wanting to give away a doll, but I gotta have something to make me work toward it. This is what I have created... The day I sell my 10th Waldorf inspired doll in my Etsy shop, I will open my very first doll giveaway on my blog!!! Exciting, isn't it?!? Well, now this is what I need you to do so you can get closer to winning that gorgeous doll. Tell everyone you know about Lightning Bugz's Waldorf dolls so that the first 10 are snatched up super duper quick (and make sure to grab one for your own little ones or yourself too), and then the giveaway can begin!! I can feel it coming...

In the SHOP- Miss Summer!!

When I think of summer, I think of fresh, juicy strawberries and I LOVE aqua, red, and pink. They make me smile. So between the fruit and the colors, Miss Summer was born :)! I love her personality and her smile! She is the first doll to go in my Etsy shop- I am so excited for her to find her forever home :)! I can picture her making a little child's day as they open her box :)!! I get warm fuzzies all inside just getting everything ready to go... So without further ado, here's Miss Summer...
