Drafting the pattern listing on Etsy right now. :)

Fant'sy Pirate
Submitted by Little Raven on Tue, 2016-10-04 09:31
Here's the pirate version of the Fant'sy Frock dress--I'm pretty happy with it!
This dress is pretty awesome because it can easily change themes--with a few fabric and minor detail switches--from a witch, to a pirate, to a princess, to Steampunk look, etc. I plan on making a version of all of these to showcase the versatility of this design.

LRC Fantsy Frock Progress

I have it where I want it, mostly. Or all really. I might adjust the sweetheart neckline, maybe, but overall I like where it has gone. I'm working on the pattern instruction booklet now, wondering if I'll be able to add the steampunk vest to the pack, but trying to get the pattern on my Etsy asap.

Fant'sy Frock testing: now that I got it together in the actual fabric, I'm thinking it needs adjustments. Go figure, I can't always see it until I reach this stage.
So I'm not 100% sure about the sheer hi-low train thingy. Maybe in the main fabric it will work better. But it's got something. . .
Embroidery floss as a temporary laceup, didn't have the right cording.

LRC Fant'sy Frock in the Works
Submitted by Little Raven on Sat, 2016-09-03 11:20
I got to painting my custom dolls when I realized I didn't have all the colors I needed. Apparently I thought I could paint the brows and lashes with flesh colors too! So after playing around with some blush and lip color, I set the heads aside and I ordered some more paints in the right colors.
They won't be here for a week maybe, so in the meantime, I started working on a new pattern, a fantasy-type frock. It will be perfect for a witch dress, and just in time for Halloween!

The Last of the Three Goes Home
Submitted by Little Raven on Tue, 2016-06-07 20:30
Today I sent off the third and final AG doll I received as a group back at the beginning of my doll quest when I was just a little bitty baby doll newb. :) Back when I only had a MAG #42 and a Molly/ Emily retirement combo, a Laura Ashley doll, and a Madame Alexander, and decided I wanted to learn how to restore dolls. I saw an eBay auction for three AG fixer uppers, and well, I went for it.
I never thought at the time I got them that I'd ever want to sell them after fixing them up. . .

The Plague of the Spam Bots
Submitted by Little Raven on Sun, 2016-05-22 11:37
The comment spam on this site was really getting out of control! While I'm sure we would all love to know where to get those cheap pharmaceuticals, maybe another place and time would be better for that! ;)
It's actually been a major chore to regularly go through hundreds of anonymous spam comments only to find a legitimate post here and there that got lost in the shuffle for days. :( So after some anti-spam module hunting and adding a bit of custom code to my site, I think I may have found a way to keep spam mostly out -- knock on wood!

LRC Doll Company
Submitted by Little Raven on Wed, 2016-04-13 08:26
The Little Raven Creations Doll Company is born at last!
Well, I just received my first shipment of doll parts as a Secrist wholesaler, and wow, $500 worth of doll parts can sure fit into a small box lol. I suppose that's because its mostly heads and limbs, and you can get pretty creative in puzzle-piecing them into a small area. Its like doll part Tetris. :)
So here they are! I'm finally beginning on my journey towards my year long dream of having my own doll line! And it goes really well hand-in-hand with my custom clothing design project for creating very unique doll themes. I'm so excited! Lots of imagery and ideas are crossing my mind right now!

And I don't mean poltergeists.
I mean my labels! Wow, this has got to be the one of the happiest moments in my business's life!
