SPECIALS FOR THE MAKERS OF MY KITS - A continuation of a procrastination project to hoe out the many boxes of parts of discontinued kits and their finished versions mostly for cloth dolls. It is daunting to pick through deciding what can be sold or given away or sadly taken to the dump. These are some of much more to come as I get more time. I figure there are those out there who know my work and can make use of partially worked dolls. SEE ITEMS AT RIGHT.
Please note that I will be adding to this list many more in time, hoping for the pre-holiday sale time.

This picture is of the regular dark hair Tiny Hitty - I have one painted with Blonde Hair, but no picture. |
3" TINY HITTY IN BLONDE (not as shown in picture)
The picture is of my regular 3" Tiny Hitty with her dark hair, but a customer requested one in blonde and I painted two. Then forgot about the second one. Blonde Tiny Hitty is sold undressed with accompanying patterns to make her 3-piece removable clothing. Tiny Hitty has a jointed wooden body with a molded papier mache head. $175 Add to Cart
NOTE: So many of this blonde Tiny Hitty were ordered right after I posted it, that I am doing a limited number of them and have left the link to buy if you are interested.
If you go to the Hitty tab in the menu to "Hitty Finished Dolls," you can see what a regular size Hitty looks like blonde and also find made up outfits if you wish your blonde Tiny Hitty to have an outfit (that you don't have to make). |

EVERYBODIES FAVORITE PRINTED CATS - A SPECIAL OFFER FOR BULK BLANKS TO MAKE:
In one of my latest cleaning outs I came across piles of the uncut, unsewn cats from my original source (before I purchased the real antique print from my source and created my own printable copy). So, I no longer have need of these. Simple to make, and at the coming season would be small treasures as gifts. I am only selling the printed cloth blanks with no other supplies (all you need is thread, stuffing, a small piece of cardboard to reinforce the base), but I will include a page of the simple instructions. Here is the special part - selling multiple cats in each of the two sizes.
Tiny Size (not shown in picture, 1-1/2" tall - sized for Hitty) - Sets of 7 cats + instructions $20 Add

NEWS - This was originally a one-time sale item but has proven to be very popular, so it will remain an item.
THE STORY: This is a long long story involving getting a new size of the much loved printed cats shown here. A good friend and customer, Jocelyn Benzaia, has been my supplier of the reproduction prints of the cats that I sell finished in a 3" size (shown center front) and the 5" size (shown in the back row). However, in trying to get to an even smaller size for Hitty (1-1/2" tall), I ended up acquiring through a simple mistake in ordering, scores of a 2-1/2" size, which I did not want. So, made up a simple kit to share in the bounty. The kit has one set of printed parts - front, back and bottom - plus instructions for how to make - you supply your own stuffing.
Printed 2.5" Cat Kit $12.75 Add
