Update: Dolls, YouTube, Life

I like to chat now and then on my Peace Craft Dolls YouTube channel. I’ve been posting a “Dolls YouTube Life” vlog style video every few months. This one will probably be the last one until the first of the year. We shall see.

Happy Halloween

October is one of my favorite months of the year. We are so close to the holiday season, and the weather changes just a bit down here in Florida, meaning it’s not typically 99 degrees out! While we haven’t really received cold weather yet, there is a mild temperature change that allows more time to enjoy the outdoors. Also, Halloween is full of wonderful childhood memories for me, so it seems perfect for dolls. Each season, I pull out my box of Blythe Halloween doll dresses, most of which I sewed myself, and lots of little bits and bobs for decorations and create a Halloween display shelf in my studio.
