Sneak Peek And Sharing

I just had to share with you all this photo of my Lil Raggedies with real Lil shoes and anklet socks, they came out so cute!!!



These Lil Dollys sold out at the fair, but I will be making more. I will post when I have listed them over at my website.

Here is a photo of a Wood Witch Boot and Primitive Halloween Sign I have listed over at My Country
Cottage Go over to our Halloween section and take a look!




Here is a sneak peek at my Christmas Annie Ornies coming soon!!!



I have to share this story with you my hubby and I went over to Best Buy yesterday and purchased our first mp3 player. Yes I know they have been out for a long long time now. But I was always afraid they would be to hard to figure out and I just did not have the time right now (ever) to try to figure out something new.

Well we went ahead and bought one and I have to tell you it was not that hard to figure out. Even though the player came with really bad instructions and going over to there website was no help either. That was just to figure out how to use and charge the mp3 player. The salesman said all you have to do is rip the Cd's (we wanted to put our audio Cd's we just purchased on the mp3 player) to the windows media player and transfer to the mp3 player.

Well guess what I was able to figure it out with just that info. from the salesman, it was very easy to do. I just love that Lil mp3 player, to think we were going to buy a Walkman CD player to listen to the audio Cd's we bought. So glad hubby thought of the mp3 player, I never would have because of having to learn how to use it. Hubby is not good at all with electronics, so I have to be the one to figure all that stuff out for us. Our kids never have the time to help us, you know how that is.

Well I ordered one for me today I should get it in a few days. I have so much I want to put on mine I like to listen to Prim Talk Radio and it is hard because I am not always in front of my computer to listen in, but they let you download there program to an mp3 player now I wont miss a program. I can download audio's and music of course on it the possibilities are endless for me. I am going to have fun with my new toy it is a Sandisk Sansa mp3 player, I can hardly wait to get mine. My mp3 player has an FM radio and voice recorder built in, it also has a micro SD slot to add more GB to hold a lot more stuff if needed.

I got a better price ordering it from Buy.com they have great prices there. So if you ever thought of getting an mp3 player but were afraid they were hard to learn to use. They are not at all, if I can do it so can you. Sometimes you have to "Just do it" as the saying goes!!!

So back to working on my orders and getting ready for another show that's coming up way to soon!!! I need to build up more inventory Quick. I have a great friend Glenna that has convinced me in getting help for my business and not do it all myself. She has given me some good suggestions to help increase my production for this holiday season. So right now I am working on implementing her ideas which should increase my production. I will let you know how it all works out.
Goodnight,

Pink Ribbon Raggedy Ann Dolls

Hi Just a quick note to let you all know about my new Pink Ribbon Raggedy Ann Doll.

Maybe you know someone in your life who has been diagnosed with breast cancer or someone who lost their life to this disease. All the women who face breast cancer inspired the making of these Raggedy Ann Dolls. With each purchase of one of these sweet Raggedies, I am donating 10% to aid in the research for breast cancer to this organization: http://www.breastcancer.org


She is listed over at Raggedy Dollys go over and take a look I think she came out so cute!!! I can hardly keep up with making these dollys since I introduced them over at the fair.

Well the Pomona Fair ended yesterday and was a great success for us we will be doing it again next year. It was alot of fun and I met alot of nice women at the fair.

Bye for now

My Pomona Fair Raggedy Ann Dolls

Hi Everyone
I am so sorry it's been along time since I wrote a post here on my blog. I have been sooo busy lately. My friends and I got together and we have a booth over at the Pomona Fair this month it runs till the 30th of Sept. and started on the 7th.

Well I just can't keep up I have been selling my Raggedy Ann dolls everyday since the fair opened. I am up all night sewing away to have more raggedies for the fair.

The gals over at my stores are calling for more Raggedies too, so I guess no sleep for me for awhile. I will be drinking lots and lots of coffee and Tea till the season is over. LOL!!! The season won't be over for me till about a week before Christmas.

This is crazy time over here, starts about this time every year. But the rush is great and thats what keeps me going.

I am also selling these cute gingerbreads I made up for the fair. I also have them listed over at Raggedy Dollys



Here are photos of some of the Raggedy Ann Dolls I made for the fair aren't they just so cute? I really like the way they all came out!!! Some of my raggedies are wearing there Halloween dresses and some have on there fall dresses and I do have some with everyday dresses on.

I made them up in three sizes in a large, med and lil raggedy ann doll size. You can see in the first photo below all of the three sizes I made.







Right now I am working on my raggedies with Christmas dresses. I have customers at the fair asking for my raggedy anns in Christmas dresses so I will be taking some in for them. I guess it's never to early for Christmas.

If you attend the Pomona Fair come by for a visit were in Building #8 the holiday one with the snow in it. It's all set up for the kiddies to play in the snow even though it's over 100 degrees outdoors. Well it has cooled down a little, what a heat wave we have had, record breaking hot weather for us here in Calif. Sure makes it kinda hard to work under these conditions.

I will be adding my dolls with Halloween and fall dresses to my website soon, I promise!!!

I will post photos of my raggedies in there christmas dresses. So you can all see how they came out. I am also working on a new line of raggedy ann ornaments for your christmas tree. I will post photos when those are done, so far they are coming out cute.

I have a gingerbread girl dolly in the works she will have on a christmas print dress just like my raggedy ann dolls dresses, so cute!!! I have so many new ideas for this year, I will keep you posted on all of them.

Well that's all for now back to the sewing machine for me.

Oh did I mention I also have orders for my wood items LOL!!!

Bye,

A Raggedy Ann Doll For My Grandaughter

I just had to share these photos with you gals they are so cute!!! When my granddaughter comes over to visit she gets so excited with all the dolls I make. One of the first words she said was dolls, she calls everything dolls. While I would let her hold my raggedy ann dolls for a few minutes and I would have to watch that she would not mess up the new doll. So of course that was no fun at all for Ashlynn, but she was glad to be able to hold them for a few minutes.

So I decided to make her a raggedy ann doll of her own, only it took me awhile to find the time to make one for her. Because I had to design her different that the rest of my dolls she is made larger and not stuffed so firmly so Ashlynn can hug and squeeze her dolly. Oh and I hand sewed each strand of hair through the dolls head and knotted each piece so when Ashlynn grabs her dolly by the hair as babies do the hair wont come off in her hand.

Ashlynn's favorite color is red so I made the dolls dress in red and I wrapped the doll in red wrapping paper to surprise her.



This is photo #1 where she started to unwrap the doll



This photo is where she is taking the doll out of the wrapping paper



This photo is where she could finally see her new doll was she surprised and happy!!!



Here she gives her new dolly a kiss. Notice that raggedy ann is almost as big as she is.



She is just so excited about her new doll.



This photo shows both Ashlynn's and her raggedy dolls face





Ashlynn sleeps with her new doll and takes her everywhere she goes. She just loves her new doll.

I have Ashlynn's raggedy ann doll listed over at my website if you would like to see the dolly go here Raggedy Dollys

I just had to share this with all of you it was to cute!!!
