2012 draws to a close

Well, we're just about to recycle another calendar. It's kind of hard to believe that another year has passed - it went so fast!

It helped that this was the busiest holiday season Making Friends has experienced. I made and shipped roughly 35 holiday/new baby/birthday gift dolls and toys in the last 3 months. Here's the handful I made since the last post!
 

Trina - a 10" custom order. Her hair was so luxe, it about killed me to send her away!


I put the finishing touches on this guy, and Boober instantly claimed him.


This is Jack-Jack, a 10" custom order. Apparently his little boy is really excited about him!


A last-minute sheep, custom ordered for Christmas


A super adorable pair of dragons ordered for a sibling pair. I loved these fabrics and would make them again in a heart-beat!


And these last two are things I made for my kids. Sweet Pea got a shaggy black lamb for Christmas. Boober got a monkey for his birthday. They went over pretty well. Boober sleeps with his monkey on one side, and his trusty doll George on the other side.

2013 holds a few unknowns for Making Friends. I'm considering switching up some of the skin tone fabrics I've been using for Waldorf dolls, and looking into some new suppliers. There are things in the works that I'm just not ready to discuss yet. All in good time, right?
