Say hello to our Christmas doll! A wonderful repeat customer (our 100th sale!) asked us to make her a special Christmas doll for her daughter. Here she is dressed in her Santa hat, fur cape, and pom pom scarf…
Big sis and I collaborated to make this cutie, and we’re so excited to showcase more of these Christmas dollies at Unique!

Congratulations Tricia Z! Please be sure to give our Maddie Sprinkles lots of hugs and love!
We’ll be sending you an email shortly, so please give us your shipping address and Maddie will be on her way.
We just wanted to say a BIG thank you for participating in our giveaway! We are so lucky to have such awesome blog readers 
Lil sis and I are finally getting around to putting some new products in the shop. It’s been in the works for some time and we contemplated opening up a separate shop but as always, we don’t know how much time we’ll have to venture out to other things so it made sense to keep everything together. So here are some of the items that will slowly make their appearance in the shop. Want to know the best part? Special introductory price!
Zipper pouches with Japanese imported + hand embroidered appliques.
Drawstring bags made with Japanese imported cotton.
As always, thanks again for visiting our blog and taking an interest in what we have to say, share, show, etc!

A year and some change has passed. We had no idea how long lil sprinkles would survive when we first opened shop and we can’t imagine our lives now without our lil shop/craft/hobby. We have met so many great and talented people through lil sprinkles and now it’s our turn to say thanks! Thanks for keeping us motivated to sew and keeping our creative juices flowing! We are thrilled that you read our blog despite the nonsense we write, and honored that you come back
Our big sis, Maddie Sprinkles, has agreed to be our first big giveaway.
She is super excited to find a new home. All you have to do is leave us a comment and let us know which doll in our shop is your favorite! Comments will close Thursday night. We will be using the random number generator to pick a winner this Friday. How easy peasy is that!
Good luck!

A custom wedding duo has been completed and they are on their way to the wedding-present-giver . Big sis and I teamed up to create this pair, and we’re diggin the personalized book and record.
The gift giver wanted the paperweights to be wearing regular outfits versus wedding gear, and she knew exactly what she was looking for in terms of fabric choices, colors, items to be holding, etc. We love specific requests!

We were so excited when the the lovely Rose from The Scarlet Peacock wanted to do a lil feature on us and our shop. Her blog is super cute and spotlights lots of Etsy shops. So, swing on over and learn how you can win a free gift from us!
Read the Q & A here.

We get lots of good ideas from custom requests esp when we need a lil push to try different things. So of course, we loved it when when we got a request for a doll with blue eyes. Well, I ventured out a bit more and tried brown eyes, but the color was a bit darker than desired.
not a great picture of the eyes but yes, they look black. You can only tell if you look REAL close But it’s definitely not as dark as black. Naturally, huh?
Looks like I am the last one on this planet to join Facebook. And after months and months of my husband, sister and friends telling me to join, I just might.

So lil sis and I both agreed that we would take a short break from sewing post-Renegade but after the positive feedback we got from those who visited our booth, our custom doll listings magically appeared in our shop. So our one week break became obsolete but all for very good reasons. Afterall, one should NOT deprive a lil girl of a dollie! Lil sis worked on a red head with blue eyes.
Too cute! We are definitely going to have to experiment with different color eyes on our dolls. Wait a sec…I’m having a deja vu moment.
This lil sis is flying all the way to the UK.
This past week has been busy with convos (aka emails). We have gotten some pretty interesting requests…bride and groom, to make a doll pattern for another shop. Hmmm…unfortunately, lil sis and I have very little time to craft so when we do get that extra hour here and there, it is always for ourselves or the shop. I’m already starting a get a bit nervous for the winter. Lila will be having her very 1st birthday party and you know lil sis is going ALL OUT! We are 4 months away and lil sis has already asked for my help! You can be sure lots of sewing will be involved.
With all the holidays, festivities, shopkeeping…you think it’s too early to start making Halloween and Christmas gift bags for the twins’ classmates? Maybe I should start X-mas shopping. Where are my checklists???

We didn’t know what to expect since this was the first time Renegade had the fair in LA and since it was also one of the biggest fairs we have done, but we are so incredibly happy that we joined because it was a great success!
Our lil sis dolls and zipper pouches were a hit! Good thing big sis made an extra batch of her pouches the last week because they were selling like hotcakes. We introduced new products that have yet to be debuted on our etsy shop, so stay tuned because we will be listing them in the next weeks to come.
Our setup:
Hmm…notice anything familiar? The pom-poms from the baby shower made another appearance. Thank goodness we brought these because we told people who were trying to find our booth to be on the lookout for those pom-poms.
Button boards didn’t fall once! Whew!
Our number one accessory supporter sporting the kimono ponytail rubberbands. Thank you!
Notice anything else familiar? Lila’s garland was used to drape over the entrance, and we got many inquiries about buying it. Unfortunately, it was just part of our decor…sorry, not for sale. 
Finally, I leave you with a picture of the marching band that came through our aisle on the last day of the fair. Why a marching band? I don’t know. I guess we can thank them because they had a large following, and they stopped to play their music right in front of our booth. People traffic is always a good thing!
Our custom dolls will be available for sale this week, and dolls will be listed in our shop starting tomorrow. Funny cause big sis and I both wanted to take a break, but that break will have to be cut short. Not sure what’s next to come, but I’m sure we’ll be blogging about it.
Thanks to all those who came by and said “hi” and for our friends and family who came out to support us!

10 days and counting…to Renegade, that is. Lil sis and I have been talking, thinking, dreaming, planning for this event for SO LONG and the time has finally come! Yikes! The twins and I have been busy going to summer school. That + non-stop crafting, I don’t really feel like it’s summer. But as my husband likes to remind me, everyday is summer for me. All you stay at home moms know you want to ring his neck!
I’ve been living in such clutter and chaos
and now that I’m done with my dollies, I am giddily putting things away. Want to see something so pitiful? If you look real close at the picture, you will see a tin Altoids container. That, my friends, is where I store my pins and needles! I know, I get a good laugh at it myself…every time I slide the top down and reach in for my pins. I just have not gotten around to making a pincushion for myself.
I am super excited for the summer (post-Renegade and mommy and me summer school). I hope to plan a ton of vacations and at least go on 2 Lil sis and I talked about swimming at her pool and sadly, we’ve only accomplished this once. So tons of things to look forward to and I CANNOT wait. I hope to post a few more pictures of my completed projects before July 11.
Have a great Wednesday!
big sis
Nothing much going on but this…
Here’s to hoping that I can join them in never never land REAL SOON!
