Vacation, these days, isn't what it used to be. Nowadays I squeeze it in where I can. Usually it has something to do with something that needs to be done as cost effectively as possible.
In any case, the website is still open for orders. These will be processed starting next Monday, upon my return from this mini-vacation. The same is true of etsy orders.
Of course anything ordered from the Booklover shop or Nana's Alley - these will be processed as usual, since I don't have to do those myself!
See y'all later.

Not Your Ordinary Fairies
I am trying to have finger puppets that coincide with bookplates I'm offering. Cats will be coming, but right now, it seemed time for a few fairies. Once again, I don't want to part with these but I thought I'll make up a doll later on and that will make it easier. These really can serve as little mini dolls - they stand up alone.
You've got your blonde, brunette and red headed fairies complete with sparkly wings.
I'm working on a nativity scene for later this year - perhaps I'll do a version of these as angels for then - I suppose they might pass for angels, though I'll have to add halos and probably do away with the frill.
Anyway, they are fairies to me - on my website I'll be offering them as suggestions when customers look at the three Fairy bookplates I offer on the website:
The finger puppets are listed in my etsy store as OOAK - One of a kind. I have come to realize, I don't enjoy making repeats of anything. (Hence the offer of a pattern for the Easter egg sets). All of the things I'm making take time - and to repeat the same old same old makes my eyes glaze over. What I enjoy about creating finger puppets, dolls, ornaments and even sweaters for grandchildren is the uniqueness of each design.
I am remaking finger puppets that are selling (most are selling from my website, rather than from etsy right now - which is too bad because customers can't rate them and help puff up my ego and my rating in etsy!). But when I remake them, they are slightly different from the originals, which I'm now calling templates.
And there are some other book related trinkets I have on my mind (though I guess these are more book story related). Check back later to see what I mean!
