Pretty Slow on Etsy Town

This past holiday weekend was so slow on Etsy, I didn't even have one sale!! That is to be expected I guess. I also posted a picture along with this blog of a new dress I did today. This is a very easy and simple dress that I do a lot of. I charge 5-6 bucks for one. Considering that most of my fabric is pretty rare and I can't get much of it and also factoring in the time it takes me to make and publish a dress like this, I think 5-6 bucks is completely reasonable (not to mention its one of kind!)

I was thinking that I should make some swimming clothing for barbie/dolls. Afterall, we are upon summer and I'm sure little girls will be bringing their dolls to the pool! (I saw one at the pool this past Sunday, so I know I'm right! )

Fashion Royalty doll!?

Has anyone out there seen the fashion royalty dolls? They are stunning! They have beautiful faces!! They are expensive but they appear to be pretty high quality. I want my dolls to have beautiful faces like those..but I will be going into a completely different direction!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend! --pretty slow for internet sales and my doll clothes, but thats ok! I have to take the good with the bad and keep moving forward!

BTW-If you are looking for my stuff on etsy. My username is barbiecloset! that should help you find me!

Welcome my newest design to go up for sale on my etsy site! Im rather fond of it ;)

My Fashion Doll Adventure

The title may sound silly to you..but that's what this really is..my adventure into fashion dolls.

   It all started when I was a kid really. I've always had an unusual passion for dolls.  My dad thought it was weird and looking back on it, I guess a little boy playing with dolls could be weird, right?  However, weird led me to the path I'm on today.  I have a personal collection of dolls and other random toys all perfectly safe in their boxes.  Toys take me to a place in life that makes me smile.  I've never lost the kid in me and I wouldn't have it any other way.

   I have now started to design and sew doll clothes.  I am currently selling these clothes on Etsy.com. Why am I doing this you ask?  Well I really have one HUGE goal in mind and that is to have my own line of fashion dolls.  I already have a plan as to what I want them to be and look like, in fact I have a few that I have copy writes on.  To get these dolls made and produced is going to take a lot of time, work, money, sweat and probably a few tears. This, my friends, is what my blog is about, my personal journey to creating my life time goal.  I am starting from scratch and I'm going to post the up and downs as I go.  Hopefully you can laugh, or cry along with me.

   Welcome to my roller coaster of fashion dolls! Stay-tuned!
