A fresh batch of Teething Gnomes have just been added to the online shop and also locally at Sugar and Spice. This will be the last batch of teethers for a bit while I get busy working on some new goodies for spring!
Time to say goodbye to 2009 and a big "helloooo" to 2010! So are we going to say "twenty-ten" or "oh ten"? I like "twenty-ten" myself, but it seems to have a bit of a metallic twang to it, like we should all be living inside shiny metal pods out in space and eating perfectly balanced pellet food from a wall dispenser. At least that is how the 1960's envisioned anyway. So glad they were wrong!
Mr. Moose or "Bob" as the kids named him. We have had a lot of cows and caves come our way but never a sight like this one. I beleive this is the same boy that was brought to our house a few years ago with his mother to nibble on some trees and late Halloween pumpkins. If it is the same fella, his antlers have done some major growing over the year.
He sampled our three jack-o-lanterns (I was late once again disposing them), and then went on his way.

I love custom orders, a great collaboration of two minds working together to make a mental vision come true. Also, custom orders are usually accompanied with wonderful stories like this little lady from last year. But more than anything, for me, custom orders keeps the spirit of doll making fresh and challenging and when I am able to get it just right... a great feeling of accomplishment fills me. Here are a few of the custom orders that kept me busy this season.
