ONE STEP CLOSER TO GETTING MY SHOP

so, today on the way home from church we stopped by the indoor flea market to hand off a tie i had made for one of the young ladies there, while we were there we noticed the booth i was interested in, was filled, with clothes.

i was bummed.

next largest one, is double that size, and i expected it to be double the price, but to make sure we knew what we were looking for and asking for, we went and chatted with the  ppl who run this indoor flea market.

and found out that the  booth thats double in size is only 30.00 more dollars a month to rent. its 160.00 40 a week, makes it 20 a day to have to run, not bad pricing. other was 130.00 a month.

i could pay by the week, or by the month.
i have to decide.
and was advised to get a tax number as well, just in case the tax ppl come in and want to inspect. (not a bad idea, truthfully, keeps me honest, not that i wouldnt be.. just easier to not be when your not regulated, too easy to break and bend rules.

so, i went too look at the spaces we were told were  available.

this was the space i was looking at.

 last we were there it had pegboard all up on the walls.
unbeknownst to us, these 2 i show were built for the lady thats behind them, we wernt told that when i was looking. i was told they were available and could be rented.

it looks so much larger in the image than it really is, its about 6x10. not even the size of a regular bedroom. but it was going to be enough to hold all these clothes im getting.



so, because i was  still wanting to get a space, o decided to look, one more time at the double the size of the other and take this pic.

they say they are taking all that peg board down, because ppl wernt walking down those ways to look at anything, because they couldnt see anything. and they will  put up some wire up, so you can still hang stuff.
i like the back wall, where id put something up that could be a rack to hold clothes, and  maybe even 2 of thiose, and under that some kind of shelving, or something, for other things.

id like to have a book case to display my dolls. and id want my most expensive clothes to be hung up behind the counter. (if i get a counter).


we were concerned that the entire thing was going to be completely open like you see in this picture, but we were told they will have that mesh wire up, and a way to lock it all if we arnt there to tend to it.

there was another one, i didnt get a pic of, that was already built up, just having the peg board removed, and i liked it alot, has 2 doors, and a corner between them, i could get a small corner shelf or a tall thin one, and use that corner for stuff, i dont want to waste any space.

i love the "feel" of this when you look at it, very rustic, and almost true hand made, id LOVE to have something like this in that corner. and one reason is because id like to try to make sure that what ever is on it doesnt get stolen.
but, because the owners want to have a more open feel ill prolly have to look for something like this:
im thinking ill have my gel scents sitting on the shelf.
maybe ill have baby toys on it, or kids books, i havnt really decided yet.

i said id be back next week, maybe actually put a deposit on this space i like..but i wanted to wait to see how it looked and felt once they redid the thing.
they are also adding 2 booths on the end of the one picture i show above (double sized). maybe ill get one of those.

all i know right now, is ill have to get it while the irons hot, or im gonna have a bunch of baby clothes i cant sell in a store. the place is filling up pretty fast.

so, thats the latest on this adventure.

GETTING BACK INTO THE MOOD...finally!

so, ive had a rough patch for a little bit with my doll making, my 1st customer  got her doll, and then decided she didnt like the dill, never asked me for a refund, never  said mush to me, had a few issues with the doll, she said shed fix on her own, and she decided at that time to redo her completely.

my 1st customer doll was a zombie.
and her mother praoised her when she sent me her message on Facebook about her, said she loved her, her paint job, her hair, all of it, evething, then..she didnt.

and that brought me down..until recently, where i just decided, that HER opinion of MY work wasnt gonna keep ME down..im sure shed love it to be, but i wont let it, so..ive been doing what i used to do, looking over the site i buy all my kits from, obsessing about owning some kits, and thinking..for my new indoor flea maket baby stall ill have (hopefully), i should have some dollies for sale, at least to display the clothes off in anyway.

so i bought my 1st few kits just for that.

bought one for myself, cause i adore the look of this particular doll when shes done..its the CRYSTAL kit
isnt she just cute?!?!?
i love her face, her expression! her look!

heres everything in blank format...

i also bought an ELIZA kit, love her facial expression as well.

yes, thats a doll, not a real baby...
heres her as a blank kit.
i like it when a kit has some kind of expression. i like , and i prefer smiling kits. they are sweet and appealing. always in a perpetual state of happiness, never fussy. and i prefer that.

i also got, and i was seriously obsessing over this little kit, and had to go and hunt down some payyerns to make some things for it..
CALEB..hes a micro preemie sized doll. hes 14 inches from head to toe!

i thought if i could get him at the right proce he might be able to be used as a play-born, which is a doll kit thats not as detailed and  done as a regular reborn doll is, and is meant to be used for playing with.
since my last order of him, they went and did a new vinyl on him, and added more details to him, as seen in some of these  pics of his blank kit
and more detail showing the difference from the old vinyl to the new vinyl
 i love how wrinkled his tiny little feet are, like a real micro preemie baby would be.
i cant wait to do him!

before i can do that, tho, i have to work on some customers dolls.
Laura has an animal doll, i wont talk about much here, i have another blog for that, plus i have to do her sisters, then i have to order her a kit to make as a zombie as well
and im still waiting on final payments to finish a vampling up for another customer.

then i have andreas zombie baby, then i have to order her another doll kit to make into a regular doll for her as well. and also wandas custom baby, and then i also have a zombie to do for vamplings mamma, and another custom to do for a friend.

allot of ppl waiting on my crafting, and creativity.
