Hello Friends,

Happy September and welcome to my site!  I have to say that September is my favorite month of the year (at least now that I no longer have to go back to school, lol...).  Everything is still green with only a hint of color change in the leaves, the gardens are still growing, and the temperatures plus high humidity finally back off from heat wave stages.  The blue of the sky even seems different and 'softer'.  It's just a delightful month that seems full of promise of new beginnings.  I was also born in this month and will finally become a 'senior citizen' at 55 (am not sure THIS part is so much fun, but each life stage has it's own rewards).

I am happily getting more outfits made for my Kaye Wiggs Nyssa, still acquainting myself with styles and sizing as she settles into my dolly family.  There is just something about the size of this doll that is so much fun.  She stands as tall as the American Girls, but is very petite and posable.  I will be getting some Super-Dollfie sizes before the end of the year and have a feeling I will really love that size as well.  For those of you who like the smaller dolls, and of course, my familiar standby Ellowyne, I do have some things planned and hopefully will get to them within a week or two.  I've always wished I could have extra pairs of hands to work faster to keep abreast of the urges I have for new outfits.

 I have a new Photo Gallery page that you may use to upload favorite photos of your dolls or other things you'd like to share with others.  I have locked this page with a Password protect, the same as my B&B Club page, so only members will have access.  I hope to have my Club page updated by the Fall of this year, with access to purchase coupons and other member perks.  I have many goals ahead, and though I am slow in achieving many of them, I know that eventually I will have more time to pursue them.  Right now budget demands keep me at trying to keep a production schedule, but that should slow down some within the next year (unless I decide there are still many more dolls out there begging to be bought, lol).

I hope you all enjoy this fresh new month, the quiet gained if you have kids that went back to school, and hopefully some R-E-L-I-E-F from the awful heat that has been so prevalent for the past few months. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your interest in my work!  May you continue to enjoy the fun and escape of your own doll world.

Best Wishes,  

Karen
