And now for something completely different,,,,( and another thing, my grammar is appalling, starting sentences with ''and'' all the time) these lovely little puffs are now in the shop. I figure if I keep listing, when it comes to July I can just empty the shop and take it all with me, what do you reckon?
Enough now about the shop!! Yay!! It's the weekend. Tommorrow I intend to embroider, a take away to eat in the evening equals no cooking, more embroidery and time for blog visiting. I hope you have an amazing weekend and I hope I haven't bored you rigid with my ranting and uncontrolable insanity!

How I understand you, Karen!!!
I know that from a commercial point of view I agreed with Jackie but I can understand where you are coming from on this.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Don't ever compromise your standards!
It wouldn't be you if it was any different. You enjoy your day
Sorry to have caused you so much anxiety and soul searching.
I completely understand..but I also understand the difficulty in making money from our kind of work.
Your dolls are under priced if anything..its obvious you have put in hours of work.
I sometimes wonder if I should put in so much effort with the things I sell. Its not obvious that I have dyed most of the fabrics and fibres I use,or constructed the paper and felt, but I wouldn't enjoy doing it if I didn't satisfy my own creative urges with these preliminary processes.
You just have to do the work in the way you enjoy the best and hope the buyers will appreciate it.

Beautiful pieces as always...your work always has its own special "Karen" touches.
Can understand your plight at the moment. As long as you keep your integrity, all is well.
I LOVE your plantation dolls (and will be putting one on my wishlist).

Hi Karen,
Your thoughtful pieces are more art than craft so perhaps this is a different market?
I do understand, as all my pieces are, like you taken from many drawings,observations,paintings etc,then theres hand dying, like Jackie, again the list goes on before you even reach the outcome.
It is so hard to make a living from this way of creating-but you get so much from the work itself. One day I feel sure you will hit the big time-you have something unique and very beautiful here.
