A year later

A year later... sounds like the interjection from a movie, but in fact it fits... it's been a long while since I cared for the blog, always in my thoughts, never in my time.

My baby is a non-sleeper. One of those people who needs to go to bed hugging mama or papa, and wakes up several times a night.

Yet 2012 has been one of the most wonderful years for my longtime passion, dolls... so here I am, writing again, updating, posting pictures.

I will add a timeline of what happened this year:

January 2012: Patty Jarrard of "Reborn Artists of Distinction" gives me the opportunity to show my dolls at IDEX in Orlando, FL. One of my wildest dreams comes true, all of a sudden. I show alongside some of my doll friends, and some of the highest artists in the field. Talk about a honor.

March 31st: doll show in Roseville, CA. I have my own table. My whole family has to come to help me. Fun! Not sure the family agrees though... ;)

I also started a collaboration with Marianna Battocchio of Mose' Edizioni, and publish on the first and only Italian doll magazine: "Bambole". 

After publishing a tutorial, various articles and a couple of interviews, the magazine stops publications, 

but morphs into a wonderful blog.

where you can find my articles, past and future, among others. 

The year isn't over yet, and there will be a big surprise soon, I hope... actually more than one.
As long as the Mayans were wrong, of course...

See you soon!
