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…
So after some miscommunication, one of the dolls we thought we’d sold is still sitting in our nursery. The good news, the mom decided to order a different doll from us (to match the first) and we are now busy getting that one ready for a February birthday. Since we…

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,…
I have a friend in Utah who collects dolls. In July she sent me a text that simply stated, “I think you should paint reborn dolls.” Little did I know the chain reaction that one sentence would set off. Let me once again indulge in a little bit of back-story……
A little back story here: While the idea of building a business started almost two years ago, it took a while to get going. One of the things that was slowing me down, was the daunting question of the right way to do eyes on stuffed animals. We wanted to…
For those who don’t know, Blanket is also a preschool teacher, and one of the things she sees a lot of is “loveys”. These are cute little stuffie/blanket hybrids, made for little hands to carry around easily and snuggle with as they sleep. We thought it would be the perfect…
