doll anyone?


I am thinking of getting back into my Waldorf doll making next year. I have grown a great deal in doll making skills from when i first started making them, and people are becoming much more knowledgeable about them since then.
But I need help, who would be interested in owning one, and what sort of price would you pay/could you pay? Also, for those that know about these dolls what types (age range, size etc) would you be interested in?

The Simple Woman's Daybook

I got this from my friend Elle, i have seen her post it a few times, but to be honest i can't remember where she got it from.

FOR TODAY - NOVEMBER 13, 2010

Outside my window ...
A very messy garden ( we are in the process of cleaning up alot of overgrowth, and pulling down a tree, it has to get worse before it can get better ) on a very very dull dark day. No rain yet, only a bit of november chill, but dark enough to make everyone feel tired.

I am thinking ...
ARRRHGGGG with intermittent moments to ahhhhh. I'm in a happy place, but i seem to have no time. An extra few hours in a day would go down a treat right now.

I am thankful for ...
The ability to have my own life and all it's oddities with out being made to form into somebody else's design. To be a mum, to be able to be a wife and a home maker, to have my flowers and dolls and my personality with no restrictions other than my own.
And of course the health, happiness and smiles of my gorgeous husband and beautiful children.

From the learning rooms ...
not alot today, Vivienne is away for the weekend, so i only have the little people, so i might let them get away with just some colouring or something. On our walls we have an Africa project we are doing and some art projects.

From the kitchen ...
It's a mess!!! lol. I have quite honestly got out of the swing of things in there . But we have been eating lots of wonderful Japanese food recently, and i have perfected my Onigiri making.

I am wearing ...
My pj's still actually. Just about to finish my tea and get motivated.

I am creating ...
Lots, as usual. But the most important thing is a new doll for Vivienne's 11 birthday. She has asked for a new one. I am lucky she is still wanting dolls. I doubt it will be the same next year. I am excited by this one, and hope she turns out as cute as i am imagining.

I am going ...
No where today. It's yucky outside.

I am reading ...
A few books. I am finishing up one of my world of warcraft trillogies. I love the stories that go with the game, but i keep getting into other non fiction which is preventing me from finishing. I am reading ( and watching ) the manga 'fruits basket' I am loving it, the whole family is loving it. I am also reading 'yesterdays britain'. A fab book with the most beautiful photos. I am a vintage girl, and love to completely loose myself in British history, and i just can't put this book down.

I am hoping ...
For a windfall. I really want to get this house done now. Little bit of money for xmas would be nice too.

I am hearing ...
The kids munching on dry Cheerios. There was a small amount left in the box after breakfast, and they suggested they finish them off!! I occasionally hear a doggy munch on one too.

Around the house ...
........ Is a complete mess from all this decorating. It would be alright if it was just a easy touch up, or one room decorating, but this is full on back to bare walls and floors decorating. At least i have some hope it will soon be over and everything will have a home.

One of my favorite things ...
Right now is Sims 3. I'm back on a binge. Can't get enough of it.

A few plans for the rest of the week ...
( hey we are already on saturday not much left ) This week is really quiet actually. I hope to fill every evening with making Vivienne's doll, lets hope i can leave Sims 3 alone! But next week my hubby has another week off work. So who knows what we will be up to.

Photo for the week :)
