Happily, I have grown in 2009. Still making dolls for over forty years, I can honestly say "I still love it." Jaunts to fabric stores still quicken my heart, but I have contained my spending to eliminate debt and make this a viable, healthy business. I created some really wonderful new dolls like Kathleen, Suzy and Silly Tilly. And I now am a blogger.
Our three fabulous grown daughters continually amaze us with their great talents and choices and are great sounding boards. Our grandchildren are my best test market and adoring fans. Lew and I love retirement and work together fabulously with such genuine pleasure. We listen to one another. Lew is a skilled photographer and talented webmaster! And we are blessed with Silvio, our four legged, furry supervisor and customer relations man.
I do meet so many of my customers in person. Proudly, some Bundles are now in four generations. I am always touched by the joy my dolls bring, becoming a keepsake, a lasting and forgiving treasure without strings. Appreciative, I could not do this without the joy my family inspires and the loyalty of my sewing team, dedicated to stitching with love as I do.
So let’s make that connection.
