Thank goodness its Tuesday! Mondays seem to hit with a full force around here….especially Mondays after a holiday.

I had a great blog post to make yesterday, but as luck would have it that post was number 4 on my list of things to do and I never got to number 3. Seems that the whole world came through my living room yesterday or called me and it just took many hours longer to get anything done than it needed to.

The good news is that I have tried a new pattern for a new size doll, and I think I like it. My granddaughter got hold of an american girl catalog/magazine and has been drooling over the pictures for ever. She seems to think that she needs one of these dolls….they are cute and all of that. But their pricing is a bit much for Grammie to deal with. So anyways, I tried a different pattern and I think I like it. So look out we may have a new doll on the site before long. Maybe I will open it for preorders in June when I get back from my trip to Texas.

A note on that trip, Grammie and Poppy….will be leaving the grandkids and the cloth baby dolls home with Great grandma and making a trip to Dallas the last week in May. We are going down to see our youngest daughter graduate from High School with honors! Yes we are so very proud of her, but I am telling you so that you know…I will be taking the store offline for that week. No selling since I wont be here to ship….We will be back online and ready to go on the first of June….

Look for new babies and new designs to go up quickly in June! Dont forget to get your suggestions in on what your little ones want to go with their babies…..because while the cloth baby dolls and the grandkids are stay home my sketch pad is going along with us!

Until next time….

Okay so by the time I am done writing this post about the cloth baby dolls and their surroundings it wont be officially be Monday any more, but in my world its still Monday. Its been raining here for what seems like forever. Now I like a rainy day here and there, but when we get to the point that I am thinking about calling Noah its enough. Anyways the reason that I am telling you about the rain is the contest I announce was coming today. With the rain over the weekend carrying over into Monday, it just did not happen.

One would naturally think that all things in my world would run according to my schedule, not so. If things ran according to my schedule my list of things to get done each day would get done. But when you combine making dolls with the six living breathing Grammie’s dolls well…not so much. You see those six living and breathing dolls just dont seem to think necessarily that the cloth doll world is quite as important as I do.

So at any rate instead of working on Mondays list today I was still on Saturdays list. Now I dont have a Sunday list so when I completed Saturdays list today, it means that tomorrow morning I can begin the list I should have started today! Hears hoping that Tuesday goes better….

Now the contest. I have decided that I want to hear suggestions. I want to know the items you and/or your little one would like to see us come out with either as patterns or ready made items. The way it will work is you post in a comment what you would like to see, and register as a user on the website as well as here….yes I know its odd but the blog likes its own database so you have to register twice. If I create your item for the site you get a copy of it….free! See how easy it is? Could I make this any easier for you? I have opened it up now tell me what you want to see! I will only accept suggestions and send items to the folks that are registered on the website….I need your address to send it to…..so register here and leave a comment then go over to the main page and sign up as a register user! Who know you might even get a coupon…hint hint my daughter is graduating with honors the end of the month and I am celebrating! So get registered and get those comments in!

Check in tomorrow to see some new babies that I am making for some special twins!
