Happy New Year Everyone!

Here's to a Happy New Year for all of us. Good fortune and lots of smiles for 2010 :D

Oh I've been busy again!

If anyone was wondering what I do while munching chocolate, drinking wine and watching films over xmas you will find out when my new designs come out next week! I just can't sit with nothing in my hands! I was meant to be having a break and ended up creating a table full of goodies!!

First up will be the eeko bobble hat, my funky new design for Blythe which is crocheted in a beautiful eco, yarn 100% wool in such lovely soft natural colours. It is decorated with reclaimed shell buttons. I will be selling these for $15 each.
Hope you like my new creations :D

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Xmas to you and many thanks for all your custom over the last year! All the elves and pixies at Polly's and Granny Madge send lots of Holiday Goodness and best wishes for a Very Happy 2010!
I will be closing the shop today and having some rest and relaxation with the family (and dreaming up new ideas obviously!) We will be back again after the new year on the 4th January.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

Busy Busy Busy

Trying my best to complete orders. In between I have made a couple more Cake customs and I am developing some new designs for the new year. I am looking forward to the Christmas holidays, putting my feet up for a bit and hanging up the crochet hook for a couple of weeks :D

I Like Sundays

Relaxing in my jammies eating toast and drinking tea. Mind you, while doing some glueing I now have to work out how to get the glue out of my hair!! Working on a couple of custom cakes today and packing up the orders to post tomorrow. I feel quite Christmassy with all these star sequins and glittery yarn around me!

Update

Today at 5pm UK time I will be listing some coats and a custom Strawberry Shortcake doll. I may have another doll too depending on if I can get off the computer :D
www.polly.etsy.com

email me for any other details, pics are on flickr.

Snuggly Buggly Coat

In addition to the mohair Winter Warmer coats I have a Snuggly Buggly coat made from some gorgeous boucle Noro yarn. This one will be $45 due to the cost of the yarn. Sorry if anyone thought it was the usual price of $30 like the others.
If I work really hard over the next few days I should have a good bunch of things ready. Including coats, anoraks, Mini Madge hats, Strawberry Shortcake dress sets and maybe a little custom cake too :D
Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Winter Warmer Coats

I am currently working on some more Winter Warmer coats that I will preview on flickr as they are finished. I am not ultra quick at the moment as I am working on some commissions too. The long coats are $30 and the shorter anorak style is $27. I also have some more Mini Madge hats and dress sets if I can find the time :D
If anyone isn't on the mailing list and wants to be please send me your email address and you will be mailed with any details when I list. I can't take anymore commissions at the moment until I have caught up with the ones I have. I so wish I had more hours in the day, I could crochet and stitch and knit and spin FOREVER!

Cake Bubble dress sets

Hallelujah, I had a day to myself today!
So due to the fact that I actually managed to sew today I will be listing a few dress sets for Strawberry Shortcake. They are little bubble dresses with matching Granny Madge hats and vinyl boots. These are $19.50 + postage.
I will have some more of these coming, I am fitting them in between completing orders :D

Hope you like them!

Shop Update

This Friday October 2nd at 5 - 6pm ish UK time I will be listing some new items in the shop.

GRANNY MADGE IS BACK!! October 15th she will be 89!
She was getting a bit bored again so I popped over with a bag of yarn and told her to make a couple of mini Madge hats for the Strawberry Shortcake girls and a couple of scarves for Blythe.......a few days later I get a bag with 23 scarves and 14 hats!!!!!! So I will attempt to photograph all of them in time for the update! The hats also fit Susie Sad eyes nicely and should fit Lati yellow too. The hats are $6.50 each and the scarves $3.50 each (not including postage..see below)

I also have the new Winter Warmer anorak (2 finished so far, 4 more nearly done) and the zip up coat (more to come) The anorak will be $27 and the zip up coat $30 There are also 2 Susie Sad eyes coats up for grabs, these are $25 each.

I have stopped the postage included idea as it was not fair on folk in the UK really paying more than necessary.
As always please feel free to email me with any questions, I'm here to make your dollies happy :D

Hope you like my new banner and labels!

What's new

I am busy designing my 'new look' and some new designs to go with it! I hope to launch it this week but sometimes 'real work' gets in the way and messes up my plans :(
I wanted a simple and more classy logo that I can stick with (instead of my usual flitting from one thing to another like a butterfly!) I hope I can get the new things finished soon and fill the shop with some colourful goodies for your little ones! I am also open to requests now, but please bear in mind I may not be able to do everything asked for.
I am also planning on buying a spinning wheel to create my own yarns too, but that might take a bit of time!! I'll keep you posted!
The studio is tidy for once and I feel much more organized, ready to go into winter prepared for some serious crochet and knitting :D

Update

Today at around 6pm I will be listing a few items in the shop (depending on what gets finished!!)
There are:
2 Flights of Fancy sets for Blythe @ $60 each inc postage
2 (hopefully) Blythe Piksy coats @ $50 each inc postage
2 mohair custom Strawberry Shortcake dolls @ $40 each + postage
2 Strawberry Shortcake clothing sets in red @ $22.50 each inc postage

There may be more or may be less depending on how 'normal office work' goes today!

Any questions please ask, I am here to help :)

I am working on some little outfits for Strawberry Shortcakes while I wait for my new batch of girls to arrive for customization :D I shall list the finished ones on Friday at 5pm UK time. I better go and get stitching beads on.................

My day job

Please go have a look at our engineering companies new website! We are in the process of trying to give the business a bit of a boost and the website is part of that new image. You will need sound and look out for me (age 11) in the about us section (look at the 70's!!) We noticed that all engineering company websites made you want to go to sleep they were so boring so we tried to add an amusing touch!! My grandad started the company in 1945 and we are very proud we are still around, we are just trying to keep it that way!!!

Rosebud outfit

Here is my latest custom cake. The doll has been adopted but the outfit is available if anyone is interested. It is $22 including postage. Email me if you are interested at janepierrepont@aol.com

It includes dress, helmet and vinyl boots.

I am busy working on more customs, my studio is alive with cakes :D

Strawberry Shortcake customs

I am at present working on some Strawberry Shortcake customs. I managed to buy a job lot at the weekend so I have LOTS of little ones coming over to the Polly Makeover studio!! I am not selling these on etsy but direct to customers so if anyone is interested in one please email me for details. I sell these complete with an outfit made by me.

I like to be fair so I will work in order of who asks first but I won't be taking special commissions for colours etc as I really don't know which dolls will work with what colour hair/outfit until I start making them. I will try to do a good range of colours so that there is plenty to choose from and pics will go on flickr as they get finished.

Prices range from $35 - $50 depending on the doll/condition etc. I am going to have to charge postage on top of this now as postal costs are just a bit too much for me to include :(
