Оленька, спасибо большое! Ответственные покупатели мне не помешают, это точно! Так устала от ибея, ты не представляешь.

Лара, спасибо большое! Новое название мне нужно, потому что, во-первых, мы переезжаем в Англию через 2 года, а там Дейзи Доллз невозможно зарегистрировать (у меня на это название зарегистрирована торговая марка в Сингапуре), а во-вторых, хочется более элегантного названия (как оказалось, Дейзи Доллз путают с какой-то куклой Дейзи!).

Hi Meg, Thank you so much! I have also found you on Etsy (through Larisa!) and am now following you there! 🙂 I’ve known Larisa for a few years and I absolutely love what she makes! Good luck with your business. It is tough at the beginning (I am still there, too!), but then it should kick off. I have had a local online doll shop in Singapore for the last 2 years where I sell dolls (can you believe there are absolutely NO quality dolls in Singapore!!). Ariadne and I only participate in 2 fairs a year in my children’s school – selling Gotz, American Girl and Kidz’n’Cats dolls and also our own creations (school uniform is particularly popular!). But I will have to close the shop down when we move back to the UK, and anyway, both of us would rather just concentrate on making outfits for dolls – it’s much more fun! Ariadne is now on Etsy, too, by the way.

What do you embroider? I love embroidery, too, but have given up on a couple of my cross-stitch tapestries when my doll hobby overpowered it! I hope I will finish them one day, but I fear not in the near future! I am planning to start using embroidery for my doll outfits, though.

And now I am starting a very daring project – I need to make a dress for my daughter who will have a Victorian Day in her school in February. I have just bought a perfect plaid fabric and lots of white cotton – for chemise, pantaloons, petticoat and the dress. Not sure a 10-year-old needs a corset in +35 heat… But am considering that, too. I won’t be brave enough to do it authentically by hand and I will definite;y simplify it a lot as I can’t see the point in this case. But.. that’s my target. And a matching dress for one of her American Girl dolls, of course!
