Exciting news! I finally got set up with an Etsy store. I posted two doll hats to see how they do. You can see them at Nancy Hay Decorative Arts There have been quite a few eyes on them in only two days.
So these hats are part of a cunning plan. I bought two dolls to serve as models. They were pretty cooperative for first-timers. They are named Marie and Janet, after my Mom.
Next, I need to make two steampunk outfits for them for future posts and for Comic Con, which is coming up fast. I have a pattern that I can adapt. They will model them on the table at The Massage Booth with the other hats and steampunk items. I will also bring them along for future booths at doll shows. I hope to bounce the Etsy store and Comic Con contacts against each other to drum up some interest.
The knitting has been hot and heavy lately, only taking a hiatus while I had that nasty cold. I’ve made a blanket for Baby O, 6 or 7 hats for felting for Comic Con. Three of them are ready to decorate. I’m working on the new button bands for Avery’s Goth Sweater. When Comic Con is done, I’ll be making the Stephanie Tee from White Lies Designs.Stephanie Tee I’ll probably even do it in the same purple, with her yarn. I need it in cotton or a cotton blend to cope with the heat of steampunk costumes. It’s going to be great!
