Closing Blog :) Please follow me...

Hi :)

I have found it difficult to keep this blog updated as well as my gallery at http://themushroompeddler.deviantart.com and other places I update about my dolls.

Because of this I am closing this blog (at least for the time being) and ask that you go to my gallery to find updates of my dolls and wings.

Thanks and hope to see you soon!

Shelly Ordering

Hi :)

Just wanted to remind everyone that Shelly will be available only until Sept 1st 2010. After that date, she will not be available until August 2011. My plan is to release a new doll each month and so Shelly will be available each August.

The doll for September 2010 will be named "Grif". Can you guess what he will be? ;)

Just a post to give you an update...
I worked some more on the prototypes for the secret project and nearly have a second prototype finished. I am trying to think of all the ways to make the most of this project so I am experimenting with some new things. My goodness it is hard to talk about this without saying anything to give it away lol I guess I'll just be quiet about it for now.

Continuing to work on the web site and it is coming along really well. Just adding content and photos for the most part...9...8...

Getting Closer

I worked on the secret project yesterday and finally have a fully finished prototype *dances* I am so excited and it is very difficult to restrain myself from spilling the beans and showing photos to everyone. I have to wait though. I promised myself I wouldn't announce it or show photos until the web page was at least done enough that I could launch it with at least some information there lol
I worked most of today on the web site and it is getting closer to being ready to go!

Countdown has begun... 10...

Update

Worked more on making molds today. While waiting for the silicone to set, I worked on some fun jewelry I am making to take to my table at DragonCon. If you are going to be there this year, please come say hi at my table in the Artist Alley :)

I might go back over to my workshop after my husband gets back from work if I can swing it. My 9mo baby has a cold though, so I might just call it a day and spend time with the family tonight. I seem to be gone an awful lot lately.

Just thought I would post a couple more photos of the unicorns :) I should have more updates tomorrow after I get back from work.

Casting

Today I got up extra early (at about 6am) before the kids were up and headed to work. I got a lot done. I usually head over around 9am after breakfast, but my hubby offered to watch the kids and let me go early :)

I worked on my secret project and cast several of the pieces involved with it (sorry, no spoilers *grins*). I promise it will be worth the wait. Something totally different than my other projects, though still doll related.

I hope to have it done and ready for opening sales by DragonCon in Georgia this September, so I am working hard on it and also on several wing orders.

Speaking of wings, I plan to have several sets for sale at my table in the Artist's Alley at the con in addition to other fun things, so please stop by and check out my wares if you plan on being there.
