A New Nest

I moved into my new studio this weekend and it is wonderful! An cozy place to create and so beautifully organized that it's a dream come true. I wish I had taken some before pictures because it was a disaster of nasty carpet, cracked walls, and flaking paint. I did get this one with my phone but it doesn't really do justice to how awful it was.

 

But I definitely have photos of the after! Here are a couple of my work space...

  

and this is my cutting table/ shipping station...

 

and here is my closet...

and here is the desk area from the "before" shot...

Quite an improvement! I still need to get some artwork up and a few other touches but for the most part it's done and I can get back to making dolls. Yay!

If you're curious about the old studio, search "studio tour" to see pictures.

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod

Can you tell that I have secret dreams to be a book illustrator?  Wynken Blynken and Nod, along with their little boat, are now in the shop... so are these little pin girls...

and this guy!

I've added a few others as well so go check it out!
