Bye Doug!

We're sad to see you go,
Just wanted to let you know.
This means we have to sew
Maybe we'll make a Joe!

Cute! - Alyce

Got dressed to go outside



                                                     i think I want to take him to work with me.
                                         Anybody ever heard of "take your doll to work day?"

Doug is looking mighty handsome today!!! Love what you are doing! Ruth


I vote Best Dressed.   His hair is really good.   Is that the new mohair?  Those are the shoes you made- right Peggy?   Is he out of the new skin etc.  Is it working up differently?  Very cute! Alyce

Morning , I want to introduce.........

Well?

Finished products!






One more dress done and pictures of just the clothes. I emailed these to Doug, but is fun to see everything here. Are you feeling better Alyce? Thanks for your input on the website, you have a gift for seeing those kind of things, that's why your blog is so good. Peggy, are you ready for the craft show? Wish I could come help you , but we'll all be thinking of you. Ok, Linda, I'm sure your granddaughters are going to love Christmas morning when they open your dolls from grandma! Well, rambling here a bit and 3 dolls dressed now and 3 to go... oh, what to do....? Well, mom's working on a hat... maybe I should do something to go with that! Ha! The fun begins again!

alyce

did yo send the dolls to Ruth yet? We will rework the site color

No, I will today.

Website

I really like the website.

I like the neutral background.

I would change the blue font color on the home page to match the border around the photo.

The only question I have is

When you link the website to Etsy will you eliminate the catalogue section with the items and asking prices?

If so then the catalogue would seem redundant and confusing to the consumer.

When you link to Etsy, I would turn the website into more of a feature site.  By feature site I mean, tell the story behind the dolls and the doll makers.   Show the grandkids playing and enjoying the dolls.   Show the reader the birthplace of the dolls.   Make the dolls real to the consumer.

On your home page have a tab for shopping which links to etsy   - Let Etsy do all the selling.

A site that does this well (actually all Waldorf sites do this well, because that is the Waldorf style)

but one you can look at is here.

http://www.mariengold.net/verkauf/      

If you are using Google Chrome -  You will be given the option to translate Mariengold homepage.

If you are not using Google Chrome then do a google search for Mariengold and choose (translate this page)

When you look at HEr site -  When you go to her shopping link it takes you to DaWANDA - THis is the europeon division of ETsy.




 So much for my two cents.   LOL :)

My dresses

My dresses are not a priority.

I do not need the sweaters (unless you have already made them)  If you have the 3 dresses to sell me I will buy them.  and when ever they are finished  even in 2011, that is a-okay with me.  I owe Linda for the blue dress and pantiloons sp? Those-  I already have. How much do I owe you Linda.
That's all.
Peggy I will replace the header.

Alyce

oops

Alyce I tried to change the header pic.  well I made huge mistakes.   Can you replace the three that were up there with three of the most current dolls.   One Reese one Abbee and one Sunshine doll
                                                                                    Thank you sis,

Let's do it!

You are right Peggy. Lets get pictures of our "Sold" Dolls and get them posted. Great idea! Linda, I am sorry, I don't think you got my message. I could have done those dresses for Alyce. If you want I still can. Don't send me any supplies, I have plenty... fabric, fabric everywhere!!! Alyce keep the ideas coming, this is great!!! Peggy, Good luck at the show this weekend. Hope your day is great!!!
