The doll I ordered yesterday from Iplehouse is already on it's way!!  I was hoping it wouldn't take too long, since I've had two dolls ship from them 2-3 days after ordering, but never one ship this fast - within 18 hours!  Asa will be glad to have her own body. She's spent the last six months as just a head in a little box in the back of the cabinet, and soon she'll be able to come and stand out with her friends - after a little visit to Charie's to get her body and nails done.

It's the Canada Day weekend, and I'm finishing up two Christmas Plaid outfits for Nelly. There's just the finishing to do - snaps, buttons, bows and roses - then photos. Then it's on to Victorian ball gowns to be modeled by my little Asa. That will be one huge change from her current Pacific Northwest first nations outfit!  From the rocky beaches and depths of a mossy forest to an elegant ballroom. I'm looking forward to it.
