Miss Polly's new shop

Miss Polly has a new shop for all her non-dolly stuff! She loves turning old stuff into new pretty things and so she has created a folksy shop especially for this. This site is still in its beta stage but looks good and will soon be international so she is busy making some lovely things to go in it. Its empty at the mo while she sorts out items and packaging etc but the new year will bring some lovely accessories to pretty up your life :D

Where am I??

If anyone wondered if I had fell off the planet I thought I would give you a little update! I decided to concentrate on getting all my Xmas jobs done and try to keep off the computer a bit, so what happened?? I came down with, cold...then tummy bug...then migraine!! I think my body was telling me to get back online!! Anyhow, I am busy dreaming up some new ideas for our dollies for 2009 and will be off to France to see some friends for New Year, then back to work on the 5th January.

I would like to thank all my lovely friends and marvellous customers for all your support during 2008. Thanks for making my creative dreams come true :D

Mini Marvellous Madge hats

After a riot in the SSC camp yesterday I bowed to the pressure and whipped up some mini marvellous Madge hats for the girls! They will be available later today if anyone is interested. I'll list them on etsy for $7 each. They had such fun modelling I think I may have a quieter day today :D

Sunday Listing

Today (Sunday 23rd ) I will be listing all my Xmas Special Sets. It will be around 5pm UK when I have finished all my sunday chores :D These sets will all be $75 each + shipping and will include footwear and some tights/socks. If these are not required I can lower the price accordingly, just send me a convo after purchase. They will all be sent in a nice box that they can be kept in and wrapped with lots of tissue. Also all purchases will get a 10% voucher off your next order in the new year. I have put a lot of effort and love into these creations and my girls have had some fun dressing up too!! Any questions regarding these please ask janepierrepont@aol.com

Wizard of Oz sets

This Sunday I will be listing my Xmas special Wizard of Oz sets. All outfits are very OOAK and a lot of work has gone into each one. All come with matching footwear (some with tights/socks too)and in a sturdy box to keep it nice :D More details to come and more pics are on flickr.

Marvellous Madge hats

Granny Madge has been busy making stock because she is having an operation on her wrist on friday. Today I will be listing 12 hats on etsy, more to follow! She will be having a well earned rest for a while then (though I think she isn't that happy about it!!)

Xmas Belle Collection

I will be listing some items from my Xmas Belle Collection on Friday. I have created a felted mohair cloche hat with vintage buttons all around the brim, a crocheted pure silk dress with lace bottom, vintage buttons around the peplum and tiny glass beads around the neckline, cream taffetta pants to wear underneath and the most gorgeous fine mohair knit cardigan with 'leg of mutton' sleeves, babydoll style body and tiny glass beads to highlight the gathering.

I will be making more of these as time permits, cardigans being the most time consuming (but very pleasurable to do!)

The special OOAK themed Xmas sets are coming along nicely. There will be 6 of these and I am on the 4th! Hopefully I will have some preview pics for you next week. I am having so much fun with these :D

Felted cloche hats

On friday I will be listing some more felted cloche hats. Around 5pm UK time. They are $25 each +shipping and are all OOAK. I will have some previews of the Xmas bits and bobs soon too :D

Fly

Well I am so in love with my new girl Fly I wanted to share her with you :D She is my first mohair girl and is sitting by my side making me smile while my hands work on the Xmas 2008 designs. I have 6 special themed sets coming for the end of November and some lovely little items that will make your girls feel very special. For now, enjoy Fly while I work hard :D I will be posting some preview peeks very soon :D

Felted hats and more minis

On Friday I will be listing some more felted cloche hats and a couple of mini dress and hat sets. Production is being focused on the xmas sets that are under secret construction! A lot of effort is going into them!!!!

busy busy busy

After a wasted day on Sunday being ill in bed I am rather behind with my mini dress sets for this week. Looks like I may have a couple, rather than six!!! I also have some more felted cloche hats finished which will be listed Friday.

Other than those items I am secretly working on my Special Xmas sets. There will be 6 sets all linked to each other and listed all together in plenty of time for xmas posting.

Best go and get busy.....I may give some clues out nearer listing time :D

New kid on the block!

Welcome mad haired Rooby to the gang! She arrived yesterday in a cloud of exhaust fumes much to the surprise of the rest of the girls. They are a little bit cautious of her but are happily giving her the Polly house initiation (lots of tea and cakes!!) Looks like she may be a lot of fun :D

Felted hats

The mini dresses for this week are all listed now and I am working on next weeks colours. As well as these I have been experimenting with felting (Oh my poor handies!!) Here is what I have come up with. I had so much fun I am having a go at some more. They will be OOAK as I never know how they are going to turn out :D

Mini Dresses and hats

Nearly all finished with this weeks batch of mini dresses and hats! There will be six this friday and six next friday. Prices are $20 for the dresses and $10 for the hats. I am going to list as sets because I have limited mohair for the hats and don't want anyone disappointed if they miss stuff they want matching. I have more mohair and cashmere for the dresses though so if anyone would like just the dress please ask. I can also make matching cardigans :D

I will be listing around 5pm UK time.

Mohair Minis

Got some new dresses finished and nearly ready for etsy. I have quite a few colours coming, some mohair and some cashmere. With matching hats to keep your dolly cozy :D

Special Offer Week!!

For this week only I have a special offer on! For every item ordered through etsy I will add a surprise hat FREE!! Just say what size doll you want it for and I will whip up something to suit.

Silly Tilly got so excited she went for a spin on her new quad bike! I soon told her to get a helmet on and stop being naughty!!

Bits and Bobs

Listing some bit and bobs today! Marvellous Madge hats, Lati yellow set and a gorgeous little cashmere cardigan for your Strawberry Shortcake sweetie!!

I have bought some more very fine mohair too so if anyone wants a Blythe or SSC cardi in this please ask.

At Last!

Going to start listing some Mini Madge hats today. Poppy is really enjoying doing some modelling! She may get attached to some of these super cute little creations though :D

It's done!

After days of sorting, folding, labelling etc etc, my little studio is done! I am so happy to have this space I could do a little dance :D Production is back up to speed again so look out for some Polly (and Madge) goodness!!!

Studio is nearly done!

Nearly there with the room. I didn't realise how much stuff I had!!! The girls are all settled in and I am nearly ready to start production again. I am a bit late with listing the mini madge hats so it will probably be this week now. I just have to organise my fabric and buttons and I'm done! Here is a pic just before the carpet fitter came....

New studio!!

Sorry if anyone was waiting for me to list the mini madge hats but I unexpectedly had to finish painting my studio/craft room as the carpet fitters are coming today!! I am so excited about having my own room but my house is a mess with yarn, fabric, buttons , ribbon, lace etc etc!! I will hopefully be back to normal by Sunday and able to start listing them. Having my studio is a dream come true and I am like a kid with a new toy! My girls are all packing up their clothes ready for the move into Polly's little paradise :D I'm off now to organise all my sewing threads!

Wonderfall Mini Madge Bouquet!

Here is the latest batch from the Granny Madge factory! She now has a little helper called codbags who has transformed the hats into magical morsels of loveliness!! These hats fit Lati yellow or vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls and will be listed on Friday 3rd October in my etsy shop www.polly.etsy.com They sell for $6.50 each. I will post some pictures of the girls modelling some later this week.

More pics of Halloween set

Picture showing some detail of the dress in the Black Widow set. The tarantula might find its way in the set too!! Underneath the torn strips of black fabric on the skirt part there is black lace. There is a black lace bow at the back of the dress. As with Dem Bones dress it is very long so it can be trailed on the floor for effect. More details of Dem Bones coming later.

Halloween Set Black Widow

The black widow is a deadly creature! Here she is in all her finery. Black layered dress with black crystal cross, silky tassel and chains and a spider perched on her chest! Comes with fine net cape and crochet hat with black jet like beads on the corners, lace veil and rosettes at the temples with 'rubys' in the centres. Price will be $70 and will be listed along with Dem Bones on Wednesday 1sy October at 6pm UK time. email me for any other details janepierrepont@aol.com. Watch out!!!

Halloween set....Dem Bones

Here is the first set for Halloween. Called 'Dem Bones' it has 5 little skeletons all around the skirt of the dress and 'rubys' in between them. The skirt is layered bone coloured cotton and lace and net. The top of the dress has a chain hanging from the shoulders. The Hat has bones and net and beads and a 'ruby'. The dress is extra long for dramatic effect and can be trailed all over the floor to sweep the cobwebs as she walks. We hope you enjoy our creation, it will be in the shop on Wednesday 1st October at 6pm UK time. The price will be $70 + shipping. There will only be 2 halloween sets from Miss Polly as she has put lots of time into them and wanted them to be very special. They will not be repeated again.

Any questions about the set please email janepierrepont@aol.com

ENJOY!
