I've been away from blogland for a while, but I return bearing treats...I have finally finished and photographed all of my Swan Lake dolls! Completing these five dolls felt a little like a marathon at times; gone are the days when I could sit and work for hours at a time. Now I sneak in an hour here, twenty minutes there. So, while spending time with my babe is my absolute priority, I'm pretty proud to have finally finished these, despite being way behind my projected schedule. ('Schedule' is a word that is beginning to seem preposterous to me!)But enough babbling and onto photos:

Over the next week, I'll be making up the doll listings with descriptions, sizes and prices for each doll. I'm going to wait until the listings and the newsletter are done before announcing the date of the update because I don't want to get stuck racing to finish things at the last minute. I'll provide links to the listings in the Shop Update announcement. Remember that if you would like to receive my newsletter, you can sign up by filling out the badge in the upper right hand corner of this blog, just below the banner. I send out a brief notice a few days before each update, as well as a notice just before the dolls are added to the shop.
They are all so beautiful! I hope I'm one of the lucky ones that is quick enough to purchase one! Congratulations on finishing them!

Sarah..can you see my mouth hanging open?!They're gorgeous..something softer and yet edgier than your past dolls(a combo you do extraordinarily well! Each has he own unique set of characteristics but the one I love most is the black Odille. Well done:)

They are beautiful and well worth the wait. I think you just inspired me to make the time to work... even if it is 20 minutes here and there... it does add up! Great work.

Sarah:
You are crazy talented. I've always loved your dolls and still do...but on top of that, you're able to produce AND be a mom! Bravo!
I'm loving every one of these dolls, but I always tend to be pulled towards your dolls with red hair.
