New year, new updates
Happy new year fellow creatives!
As part of my New Year resolutions I’m am going to update all of the older Dragon Charmer patterns. Some of the older patterns just don’t want to print correctly without a lot of messing around with print settings, etc. I’m not sure if it’s new technology, or problems with the files, or just that I was still learning when I created the patterns, but no matter, pattern updates are on the way!
My goal is to update one pattern every two weeks. Between working a 40 hour job, costuming for the local theatre, and general housekeeping duties, I think two patterns a month are doable. To start, I updated the Troll Tot pattern. You can find the updated version on the faerie creatures sewing pattern page.
I also have some new patterns and projects in the works and I’d love to bring back Maker Monday. If you made dolls from my patterns in the last year, I’d love to have you send me photos and a little bit about yourself to feature. Please send it through my contact page!
Happy Creating!

Awesome news about Ducky & Spike
The printer I use for my books has added the size and layout that I needed for Ducky’s New Ball. This means that I no longer have to get them printed in a different country and order 500 copies to make it affordable (which also means that I no longer need a successful Kickstarter Campaign to move forward!) So, pre-orders are back up and I’m going to be able to ship copies for Christmas delivery. If you are local, I will deliver the books in person. Contact me if you want to be put on a special update list for shipping date of the books. Thank you all for your support. I’m so grateful to have friends like you.
You can pre-order the book below using the buy now button.

Remembering the Magic: Shedding our Skin
Sometimes life gets so busy that we forgot to stop and see the magic around us. I had one of these moments on Saturday evening after a long day at a festival hunched over face painting. The Universe always gives us signs though, and here was mine: a cool little visitor on our back fence that had just emerged from his skin. It reminded me that every once in a while we need to take a look at what we are doing in our creative lives and make sure it still fits. For more magic, and a bit of musing about writing, see my post on hatching dragonflies.
