Hey everyone!

It looks like there won’t be etsy listings tonight. I was getting packages ready till Wednesday this week. This will give me a good head start for next week though with lots of goodies to restock the etsy store. Everything is out in the mail so expect it all soon! Most international air mail packages have only been taking a week. I can’t wait to see everyones dolls model these clothes. Also, I left everyone Etsy feedback. When you get your packages please make sure to do so in return.

I had to celebrate my living room floor being clean and package free with some wine. How lame am I, all it did was put me to sleep early! Ha!

This week in the Bay Area was a little heat wave. My craft room seems to face direct sunlight in the afternoon. I swear it gets to be 100 degrees up there with the iron on! That meant very little sewing for me. Today is a beautiful gray day. I guess I enjoy days like this because you can concentrate on projects better. It’s just to hard to knit in the heat. (with out an air conditioner!)

Wow, look here! My craft room was clean at one time! This couch is now filled with fabric, patterns, trims and bits and pieces of everything. I just thought I would show you where half of the hard work happens. This photo is in loving memory of my poor iMac that died. Also, please note my kitty Woo has laser beam eyes. Beware.

A sincere thank you to all my customers who really helped make my Autumn launch sale so successful. This is when I can sit back and know all my hard with worth it! I’m excited and looking forward to everyones pictures soon.

I didn’t even realize I was going to hit 300 items in the shop till a friend instant messaged me during the sale and said I had two more items to go till I hit that number! My husband gave me a big kiss! It’s just unreal all that has happened this year. I couldn’t be happier! Can you imagine that there is at least another 100 items that I did for custom orders this year too!? No carpal tunnel!

I know so many people are disappointed about missing out on the sale. Don’t worry too much! I am going to focus on the etsy shop for the time being. I will try to show on Thursday the clothes that will be for sale Friday evenings.

I am refraining from keeping a wait list right now. The old one actually is lost with my poor deceased iMac computer! As you can probably tell from the amount of requests you see on flickr, it’s impossible to keep up with! Etsy is the best way I know how to sell and be fair to everyone as well as be able to keep my creative juices flowing. Thanks again to everyone for understanding!

Autumn is here! I’ve got everything together, photographed and the Lookbook is out on Flickr! I am pacing myself and photographing all the pieces bit by bit every night this week. I hope everyone is excited about all I did! I’m proud of it all. I wrote a lot of new patterns and got to play around more with my vintage fabric stash. It’s been a while since a big Dolluxe etsy sale and I am looking forward to it! It’s like a little international Blythe party. It’s just an amazing thing. It looks like Sunday, September 23rd is going to work out for my listing date. I will start at about 2pm PST. Here are a few international times for the rest of you.
United Kingdom - 10pm
Paris - 11pm
Sydney - Monday, September 24th, 7am.

I want to thank all my kind customers for your continued support. It’s such a pleasure to be able to share what I do with all of you.

How time flies! Fall is almost here and I’m sure everyone is tapping their foot waiting for me. I think your patience will be rewarded with many fine things from Dolluxe this Fall. I really took the time to explore my creativity and try a lot of new things. This means lots of things to show you! I hope to finish my Lookbook this weekend for Flickr, then release the next weekend. Don’t worry, I will keep everyone updated in as many places as possible.

Here is a little sneak preview of two items I am presenting soon. You see here the long skirt I’m very fond of for more chilly days paired up with my lacy crochet cover-up that ties in the front.

Also look forward to two styles of crochet cover-ups, my crochet floral tunic with flutter sleeves, puff sleeve cashmere sweaters with lots of pretty embellishments, lots of skirts long and short, a few crochet dresses, turtle neck hounds tooth sweaters, velvet bodice dresses, a special country prarie flower burlap skirt dress, a new style of fabric dress that is fully lined… and even more!! A few items that took longer I only did a small amount of but they will just pave the way for what I will continue to work with for the next couple months.
