Sunflower Girl

Sunflower Girl! Our Little Wooden Doll is all decked out in her ‘sunflower’ dress! Her Grandma has lots of sunflower plants in her back yard and they are taller than LWD!

This little dress is a warm yellow with sunflowers on the neckline and one solitary flower on the skirt!

Hey, Little Wooden Doll - will you and your Grandma be searching for sunflower seeds today?

Happy Sunday - August 1st, 2010!

It's our Little Wooden Doll's official anniversary! One year ago today we began marketing and selling the three sweet little dolls. The dolls were actually completed in July; we had about 15 outfits by end of July and on August 1st, 2009 created the Etsy account.

Today we have over 100 outfits! We also have a new 'wardrobe' and a few new dolls in the works - I can't wait for them to be finished - thought they would be done months ago, but one of the lessons I learned is that budgeting the money is tough!

I thought the favorite doll would be "Angel" - she has the black hair with a pink band, but she actually turned out to be the least favorite! I have sold more of "Eva" - my brunette - than the other two. The favorite outfit is "Playing with the Baby Lambs" - it is a little denim jeans with a red bandana top outfit.

In October, I will be at the Mercy Fest Craft Show, which takes place at the Immaculate Heart of Mary church - if you have the time, stop by. They have a wonderful selection of all kinds of items - especially great ideas for Christmas gifts.

The Villager, in Mariemont Ohio, still carries the Little Wooden Dolls - it is a great shop right in the heart of Mariemont!

Thanks to anyone who has supported me - it has been so much fun. The Little Wooden Doll is a combination of two favorite past times for me when I was young: I loved paper dolls and I loved making clothes for my real dolls! Watch for a post in the future - I still have some of those dolls and a few of the outfits that I made when I was (probably) about 10 years old! Trust me - Vera Wang has no worries!

To Kelly - my most loyal blogger fan - thank you for all your kindness and your very creative comments about the outfits! And to Curg - my webmaster - you have found a new vocation! Thanks for helping and being technically savvy enough to get my website created and updated everyday!

Hopefully sometime today, we will post the first outfit ever put on Etsy. I thought it was soooo cute at the time and now I just wonder what on earth I was thinking! It is time for a 'do over' for this outfit! The idea was pretty good - a little forest green outfit with a white apron for cooking - but the 'seamstress' wasn't at her best that day!

Love to all of you!

Uncle Ned

Little Wooden Doll’s Uncle Ned has enlisted in the army and he will be leaving soon for a place far from his home. He gave our LWD a pink, green and gray camouflage outfit to wear so that she doesn’t forget him! She could never forget Uncle Ned!

Come home safely our sweet soldier boy!

It's Cherry Picking Time!

It’s Cherry Picking Time! Our Little Wooden Doll and her family are headed to the orchards today! They are bringing their baskets to fill with cherries – bright red cherries and black cherries too! So, appropriately, LWD decided to wear her ‘cherry’ dress with the lace borders.

Late this afternoon they will clean all the fruit, get rid of the nasty old pits and start baking some cherry pies! They might save a few to make chocolate covered cherries for her dad!

Sounds delicious and also great fun!
