It has been brought to my attention on more than one occasion that my bunny boy needs a name. I think I am like those parents that don't choose a name for their children for a freakishly long time. And, really, when you have a wooden box of wonderful names suggested to you, how do you choose?
Last night, he was sitting on the mantle, and I realized one thing for sure. My friend Nancy wasn't too sure he was quite ready to be king. And, really, I think she is right. I think he is more of a mischevious little bunny prince. See, he even got into my jewelry box and put on a necklace with a crown in the center... (ps: The original art piece behind our bunny boy, is available and in my shop)
I wrote down some of the names that I thought really suited him. Here is my coffee stained little list... It has two sides, but the other is too filthy to share...
The truth is, we just don't know what to name him. I am really close... He insists he want to be king... But look at him, he doesn't fit in his thrown yet...
His crown doesn't fit either, and no matter how many times I tell him not to, he still eats cake in his thrown...
So for now, I need one more blog post in time, to secure a name. A name that really fits him perfectly. If you have any more thoughts I am still open. Because, the truth is, I think I am going to choose several ideas to make one name.
Guess what else I have been up to? Well, I have been trying new papers and flooring on for size in my house...
My Dollhouse that is...
I have to say, I am really finding the whole thing a bit overwhelming. I was soooo excited to cut out wall paper and such. But, with all of the moulding to remove and electricity to deal with, the first steps were really eye-opening. I am re-evaluating how to tackle this. Maybe I will do a spruce up and not a whole renovation. Plus, time wise. Well, some of you know, I have been staying up wayyyyy too late to accomplish all the things my little brain has on its list. And, quite honestly, I am making myself nuts. Back to nutcakeville I go if I don't find some simple solutions.
Also, I want to thank you for helping me have such a wonderful shop update a few days ago. I was so excited to share the dolls and other creatures with you (there are still a few treasures waiting for you in the shop). I am actually heading out right after this blog post to get more tape & packaging supplies, as I have run out :) I know, some of your are smiling. Yes, more tape. I know, I am causing the tape shortage of 2008. It is one of my OCD things. It makes me giggle just thinking about it! hee heeeeee ;)
I was busy all weekend creating more little faces and stories. I am so addicted... Here are more creations that will be going into the shop very soon (early this week, maybe even tomorrow)...
Owl Girl...
Keeper of treasures... Unlocking our deepest dreams and wishes... She has lovely textured wings...
Owl girl is so fun, I wish I could translate all the details over the screen. But, in person they are magical little beings. They bring me so much joy...
Tea-time Girl... I am sooo in love with her... Is it okay to love a doll as such?
She has a name, but I am waiting for her to whisper it to me... Oh, you should have seen me making those little tea cups and saucers, and the pitcher. I can't express the satisfaction creating miniatures brings. It is incredible. Actually, I find satisfaction in most clay creations. I remember the first time one of my life size tea cups came out of the kiln. It was so wonderful to have something tangible like that in your hands...
Mr. Lovee always giggles at what he calls, my pee-wee little fingers. We hold up our pinkies to eachother and it is so chuckle worthy. This weekend I said, see, if it weren't for pee-wee pinkies, we wouldn't have pee-wee tea cups... hahaha
And, the Cake Girl... Such a dear heart, she is so peaceful and kind...
She carries with her a teeny blue bird in the top of her crown. And of course, a huge piece of cake on her favorite cake plate...
So there are more dolls for our fun theater and for your dreamy homes...
Okay, tape beckons, so I must run out. I also have to deliver a doll... Oh, before I forget again, I have been meaning to acknowledge how slow I have been in everything. I have been slow in visits, slow in posts, and especially slow in thanking some of you for the treasures you share with me ( life has been crazzzzzy, but that is no excuse). My mailbox gets some wonderful love. And, I have been dreadfully horrid at sharing. So, I am going to take extra care to do that...
I want to thank two girls today for their parcel love. I am going to take photos of more parcel love and share this week...
Thank you Miss Sarah! She is such an artist, and soooooo good with sewing. Beyond good. She makes wonderful creatures!! And, she is funny and, as I tell her often, she knows everything!
Another parcel that came was so funny because, Mr. Lovee could read with the bottom part of the bifocals!! But, he can not have them :) Thank you to the charming Phyllis of Shabby in the City. She has the fun fun fun friday flea markets. You can shop right off her blog. I have captured some great vintage baby gown treasures for my dolls... She has some of everything we love over at her place!!
Thank you Shabilitta!!! She also sent what is now my favorite drinking mug, with a little witch and book of spells on it... LOVE it!
Well, off I run for now. Tape calls and my world needs some tending to. xoxo
