Back to the Drawing Board… Sewing Machine… You Know!
Written on July 18, 2008
Ahhhh, summer is upon us! Warm sunshine, ice cream trucks circling the neighborhood, and the mosquitoes are out in force. Here at Dolls for Friends, we are feeling the pull of the beautiful weather, and have been enjoying life out and about in the great Pacific Northwest.
And then reality sets in… how long has it been since we touched our sewing machines? The spools are gathering dust, the spiders are setting up shop in the fabric, and the scissors are beginning to slowly rust. But there is a tiny glimmer, a slight tug that pulls us back to the studio to measure, cut and stuff little creatures and then offer them to you, for a small fee, of course.
We have made the decision to take a small respite from shows for the next few months, in order to concentrate on building our skillsets. Erin and I both have the desire to grow as toy makers, and hope to devote this time to developing some new designs and creations that will reflect what has been brewing in our imaginations for a while now.
For example, what do you know about the marshmallow people of cavity county? Or the kitty children…or perhaps the goats in bikinis? Well, we are hoping to find out ourselves and then show you when we are finished. Here’s to growing onward and upwards in the squishy world of plush development-viva la plushie!!!
