Exciting news!!

Something very exciting happened the other day! I sold my large Day Of The Dead Marie Laveau inspired doll! I put an awful lot of work into that doll, and thought she would just sit there.. Forever.. But she sold!!! She was posted for about 2 months, and she sold! I was so excited!
Things are actually working out really well for me in my shop. I've been selling figures pretty regularly. I mean, there are weeks that go by without me selling anything, but as soon as I think I've got lost in the shuffle of searching, I get a sell! It's been decent amounts, too! I have had requests for the Sassy Skelly ornaments, and I've made plenty of them.. They're for sale, folks! If you're one of the people that requested them, I've got them posted!
I've also got a request for a Jack and Sally set. I'm not sure how well they're going to turn out.. But i'm hoping I can make them look pretty awesome. And I've had orders for cats! People love cats!! So I guess I need to make more cats!
I'm loving every bit of this! The art, the creativity, the imagination, the stories I come up with! the mess, the mistakes, the learning, blogging about it, all of this makes me very happy! I have so many ideas, I write them down and sketch them out in my little sketch book, and can't wait to get them made! I have never really loved making something, more than working with clay.
I did venture out of my box a little bit. I got black clay! It's not paper clay, I'm not sure what kind of clay it is.. I haven't opened it yet, because I've been trying my best to get my crafting area organized so I know where things are, and I can stop making messes.
I've had a huge mess on my crafting table, and it was so bad that I couldn't even find the table! So I went to Family Dollar, grabbed some of those clear shoe boxes, and one of those tiny drawer sets, and i've been getting everything organized. It's not done.. But it's getting close!
Once I get my stuff put up and my table cleaned off, I'll make the figures I have requests for, and I'll post progress reports! Because Jack and Sally are going to be new for me, I'll be posting plenty. I would like to keep track of my progress, as well as share what I'm getting done. If anyone has any suggestions along the way, I hope they're share them with me!
If any of my customers by chance, read my blog, I would love to thank you for your support! You have made me extremely happy and proud and confident about my work. I couldn't get validation from any other source. It makes me so happy to know that my hard work and imagination and ideas aren't just messes I come up with. Other people actually enjoy my work! Thank you so much for giving me the confidence I  need to keep trying to get better, with every piece I make.
