I loved reading your comments. Thank you xo I suppose I sounded reflective because I am, just that. :) Making all these dolls and sending them away is not just physically difficult, it is also emotionally straining. I concentrate so much on each of the custom dolls- trying to make them match the child they are made for, that I cannot help but feel a little emotional when they're packed and shipped. Luckily, I really love what I do and it gives me a lot of pleasure; Making little surprises to go along with the dolls, co-ordinating their wardrobe items, giving them a 'soul.'

@Lisa, I emailed you. Hope you got it. @Janey, those were the days..:) We were free women, back then. But you know, I wouldn't go back. I'm sure you wouldn't, too. :) @Arty, I'm actually working on having someone else tidy up after :) And organize before, AND do all the "hard labor," so that I can have more time to do the important stuff. Having said that, there is some fun and definitely a therapeutic aspect to sorting out and organizing a very messy studio. :)

Well, they are supposed to taka cards, but it was a payment to the tax authority or something, and it has to be in cash. Either that, or the evil post clerk needed my money to go shopping at Dior. Who knows. It's a small village here, Scotti. They believe they are doing us a huge favour by sending our mail. They do. Believe, that is.

Eyes are always an issue, Mephala. And Janet, it amazes me too, how every doll has her own 'personality,' almost from the start.
