Working on clothing for Tiffany Taylor

It's been too long since my last post and a lot has happened since then. My mother passed away on the 16th of January and I've gotten a divorce (thank goodness!). Now I'm going back to my maiden name, getting rid of anything attached to "him"! LOL My sisters and I now jointly own the house we grew up in, cleaning and de-junkafying it, painting the walls and getting it ready for sale. It is too much house for me to live in all by myself (and my 2 dogs).
I am absolutely broke, so I need to make some new dolly items, hence the Tiffany Taylor products. I ope there are enough collectors of this gorgeous doll to keep me busy! I am currently working on carving and making molds for heels and platforms for footwear. I have a ton of 1970s patterns pinned in my Pinterest account.....giving me a great amount of ideas and motivation! I grew up in the 70s, so they feel familiar and I love the Boho style.
Of course, decluttering means things have to go and I am downsizing both my crafting stash (scrapbooking stuff, some of my fabrics, and tons of books) and my dolls. I am planning on doing the donation dolls again this year. I still have the Princess dolls, but I also would like to do some baby dolls. I have about 8 of the 13- 14" Berenguer baby dolls and they are a fun size to sew for.
I will try to keep up with this blog a bit more. So for now, Keep crafting! Stacy
