Notes from a headless chicken


Are you aware that Christmas is just about a month away ? I was told this morning and had a shock. Some of you will probably say; " hey, on what planet do you live ?!" Of course, i am not blind, i noticed some of my neighbors have put up their christmas lights outdoors, but still, i never really thought there was so little time left. Or maybe i just don't want to see... I do not live in another planet, but sometime it feels that way. I am locked in my house, day after day, making my dolls and others sweets for my christmas show that is going to be held on december 6th. So many things that need to be done, the list is in fact endless. I am starting to feel a bit panicky, i eat whenever i can, that is when i start to feel dizzy. i head for the fridge and grab the first thing i see and gulp it down my stomach. My laundry is piling up and i have bags under my eyes. Very pretty. I promised hubby we would go see a movie on sunday, but i was so exhausted i just fell asleep on the sofa. Promised him for next sunday...Should never make promises... I love making my dolls, but i hate deadlines. i feel like a headless chicken (very chic indeed ) and jump from one project to another. This is exhausting. I think i just need to go for a little walk, come back and make a list and FOLLOW the list...hummm, think it is the only way i can make it to the end. I haven't had much time for blogging, not much time either for listing new things in my shop. I have some muffinpies and tiny glittery snowmen i want to try and put in my shop before the end of the week. They are not like the photo you see here. This fella was sold yesterday along with 2 others like him. I will keep you posted on my whereabouts. I still haven't forgot my giveaway. I just need a bit more time and i will make my announcement very soon.
Have a very lovely day everyone ♥

Christmas season

My christmas craft show took place this last sunday ( december 7th ) and i must say i was quite satisfied of the final results. I wonder how i managed to make so many things in such short a time . I have been in my new house almost two months ago now and my clients were really amazed to see how organized i seem to be. It is true that we have been working really hard to make our home inviting and comfortable, but there is still so much to be done. Here are a few pictures of my new doll collection. I have more that i will try to post later, here and on my flickr page . I still have some stuff unsold and i just put a few up for sale on my etsy.
And yes, Carlotta is still there waiting patiently to be adopted by someone who will fell for her serious gypsy kinda look. I thought one of my clients would take her to a new home, but most of them said she looked too serious. Oh well...




I am really happy with my snowmen collection, but this pair you see with the long skinny hat was not very popular. Strange how things can differ from one show to the next. I thought people would grab all my new snowmen, but most went for the old ones i had from last year. This little cutie you see on the left though, disappeared in a matter of time. I made several of those and they were all gone fast. I bet if i make more next year, most of them will stay behind. But then again you can never guess and you have to take chances. Most of the time i prefer to make things i love best.






And i must say i never tire of creating snowmen of all kinds.










I also made some gingerbread dolls. Some were sugar coated like this one, others were rubbed with cinnamon and they smell evenly. I love to stuff most of my dolls with rags. It gives them a special look and feeling in your hands. Today is my day off, i am very tired. It is actually 1pm and i still wander lazily in my pyjamas. Outside it is snowing and i love to look at the billowing snowflakes. I put some old christmas cd's ( I love Bing Crosby ) and i feel very chritmasy. I love this time of year, just before christmas day. I think i will sit by the living room window and knit some mitts for my hubby. I bought some brow yarn ( such a classic for my traditional man ) and thought they would make a nice stocking stuffer.
'til next time my dearest friends, have a happy and sweet day.
