I apologize for my long absence from blogging...the last update was such a lovely but frantic whirlwind, that I decided to take some time away from all things doll. A huge thank you to everyone who adopted, visited and wrote about the Alice dolls! All but the Pouting Alice doll were gone within an hour, which I was not expecting, especially given that I had made more than ever before this time around. Some people have written feeling a little frustrated by the update process because they were unable to get the doll they wanted, so I'm sorry for any disappointment, but it really is the most efficient way I found to free more of my time to make dolls. I'm working on an FAQ that will address some of these concerns.
Since getting all the dolls shipped out, I've been catching up on other aspects of my life that had been sorely neglected. I've been working on the second draft on my thesis/ novel, which is due in early April (gulp!) I've also been doing boring, normal yet very satisfying things like going for long walks and making dinner, a task that Mr. L had almost entirely taken over in the past several weeks while I sculpted, painted and sewed up a storm. I even helped him with his job for a change, researching ghost ships, which my inner nerd thoroughly enjoyed. It was so warm here for a few weeks, we were all lured into believing it was officially spring. But then it got cold again. And then it snowed. But now it's warm again, and schizophrenic weather is infinitely better than relentless cold and grey. Mr. l'Orange would like everyone to know that he's very happy to be going outside again...
...even if it snows...
