We finished almost everything we had planned, and got it all to the show. We met lots of people, including other artists and collectors. We got some valuable feedback and insights, and have lots of new ideas of what we need to do next, starting with social media (something we…
Yeah, so it’s been over a year and a half, but no, we didn’t fall off the earth. Blanket went back to school for some very important learning, and I had a rather large set of projects that kept me from this work. There were a few custom orders that…
If you haven’t already figured it out, Girl Guides (Girl Scouts in some parts of the world) is a huge part of both Blanket and Bear’s lives. They actually met because of Guiding (long story, not important here). They both work together in two different units, a Ranger unit (15-17…
It’s been a month of designing hooded towels. We added some software to our embroidery supplies and are now able to better create the faces we need for our animal towels. With seven towels requested, we set to work creating a program to design and share our animal towel ideas…
It’s been a while since we updated. We’ve been having lots of fun trying new things, painting new dolls and trying to stay warm. Good thing we have lots to keep us busy inside. Our second version of Alba Asleep (reborn doll) was intended for the family that bought the…

November was quite the busy month for our little business. It started with the sale of our first stuffie (the Unicorn in a Jewel). Then a bunch of time was dedicated to getting this website up to a decent standard (thanks to our good friend Rachel for helping with that)….

Our first Reborn Doll was “born” on Sept 1 at 8:57pm, weighing in at 5.4 pounds. She is the Tumaini kit by Iris Clement. Yes, these are things Reborn collectors want to know, and sometimes even a certificate of authenticity (becoming more popular as scam sites increase). She’s not perfect,…
