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!!

Hi Debbi
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the bad news about the job but then on the other hand you may be heading in the direction you are meant to go. I had to make a similar decision a few years ago and although it has been hard and money very tight I am still happy with my choice. Have faith! With all the new electronic ways we have to sell it opens many doors that would never have been opened before.
You have to see yourself now as a VERY successful entrepreneur and don't let anyone change that vision....

Hey Debbi and Tina,
ReplyDeleteI am just starting through this same process, and I am taking a real leap of faith. How is it going for you and do either of you have any words of supoort for a fellow dollmaker???
Thanks,
