Photo shoot with Unicorn Sweets Princess! This is my xmas gift to my niece. She loves unicorns and sweet treats. Doll was purchased from amazon, fabric is by @spoonflower and the dress pattern is by @requiemartdesigns . Other bits and bobs came from various craft stores. So glad to get this finished in time. Now I need to find the perfect box for her! Merry Christmas! (Much love to those that celebrate different holidays this season as well!!) #dollcustoms #dollcustomization #dollcustomizing #ooakdoll #ooak #unicorn #unicorndolls #dollclothes #sewing #sewingdollclothes #dollpatterns #spoonflower #requiemartdesigns #purple #pink #crafts https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bh9KnjAFZ/?igshid=1xevrzf0ze8tm

Miss Kitty and friend are getting faces today. I don't want to stop working on them, but I have other things I need to do. 😥 #catdoll #feltdoll #christmasgiftsideas #dollpatterns #myworlddolls #handmadedolls https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-Ge-SjLSf/?igshid=wxz10wlkslxp

In the light of a new day, however, I see that I need to retake the photos and republish the pattern.  For now I am content with the fact that I have set and attained a goal.

As I sit here and edit photo after photo for my very first doll pattern I am struck by how much I have let perfection stop me from moving forward with so many things.  I have had this pattern designed for over 6 months and I have had one excuse after another as to why it's "not ready".  Today I made up my mind that it IS ready and if it's not perfect then I can always change it later.  If I get feedback from buyers about what could be better than I can update the file but I refuse to let perfection hold me back any longer.  

By the end of 2014 it is my goal to earn my living through passive income streams created with my dolls and other art.  I am using this Tumblr page to document the process.
