I had a total Amanda Soule kind of day. We had family organic spelt pancakes, did a couple of crafts and then we went for a nature walk looking for Fairy homes and to teach the kids about tree fungi. Apparently learning about tree fungi is really important (according to John).
I’m trying to catch up on all my shipping right now. We had quite a few orders go out this week and a great sale on Etsy on Friday. Shipping has to be one of my favorite things to do. On the custom dolls this is when I cut their hair, blush their cheeks and get them dressed and ready to go. I get to wrap them up all snug in their bed/box – they always get a hug before getting in there.
We are trying to get the shipping part a tad more organized though. Right now it’s all done where the dolls are made, I’m always searching for the ribbon or looking for the beeswax to blush them. I’m taking over another room in the basement and making a storage/ dressing/ shipping area. It’s my laundry room but there is tonnes of space in there. We went to Home Depot and bought some laminate for the floor and I’m -who am I kidding – John is going to paint it. I bought some Expedit shelving from Ikea and now I’m looking for an island-y type table to put in the middle. Then there’s the lighting, but I’m not there yet. When we bought this house originally John was going to have the basement to do his own thing, sadly now he only has the garage…for now!
Like any of this is interesting to anyone! Lol, it’s all about the journey and it’s like all of you are along the ride with me. Stay tuned – in the next week or so I’m going to do my very first ‘Sew Along’ type of thing – I’m just trying to figure out how it will work. It’s going to be for this kind of a doll.
