Folksy...Folksy...Folksy...

I've recently discovered FOLKSY a UK site that runs along the same lines as ETSY (where I have my other online store). You can find all manner of wonderful hand crafted items there, including my new shop!! You can find me at: http://www.folksy.com/shops/AuntPollysdolls
Please pay me a visit when you can.

Well...after a terrible few weeks where I have found out I'm losing my job in a couple of weeks time...and then got turned down for a university course...I was about ready to just give up!!

But after a good while feeling sorry for myself, I've picked myself up and I'm going to 'bite the bullet' and turn my hobbies into a full time business!!

I'm planning to start a costume design service as well as general dressmaking and, of course, my dolls will be a big part of it too. I used to make dance and stage costumes (like the one in the picture)and spent time doing bridal alterations before the dolls came along so it shouldn't be too difficult to 'start again'....so here's to a new beginning!!

.....and here she is!! My beautiful ragdoll kitten. You can't really see the pale blue colour of her eyes in photos. We have called her 'Tia', she is a real sweetie!!
