One Diva Three Dolls is available on Facebook and Etsy! You can log onto your FB account and access it by typing "One Diva Three Dolls" in the search field. You can also find me on http://www.etsy.com/ and order from there too! Woo Hoo! In the words of Truvy from Steel Magnolias, "I'm a chain!" (sort of).
I have finally branched out to include some super cute boy stuff and made an adorable outfit for my middle daughter who is in Pre-K.
So, today, my van is in the shop, hubby is off to Atlanta to pick up my new machine and I am stuck at home unable to leave. What to do what to do???? I don't have all the materials I need to catch up on all my orders and can't go get them, so I have to work with what I have.
So, I am going to make an outfit for Bailey, make a Christmas pillowcase dress to advertise and, wait for it........gonna try something new...again.
Today, thanks to my dear friend, Sherri, I have new cute fabric. It is BRIGHT green with bubbles so today I will be attempting a crayon roll. I have seen these cute little rolls on websites and in other shops, so today I will see if I can add to my gender neutral selection with this. I'll let you know how it goes (the last one ended up in the scrap bin...rick rack is NOT my friend!)
Off to sew (Sighs dramatically)

One Diva Three Dolls
I'm so easily led astray...first my friend Jana talked me into blogging and now my friend Nancy has talked me into starting a business! Actually, she has really just encouraged me. I have been searching for a long time for a business that I could do from home, something that I would enjoy and would help supplement our income without taking me out of my home too much. I have looked at several direct sales companies and had really thought I was ready to commit to one.
Then my cable went out. It's a long story, but the cable company messed up and we ended up without cable TV but with cable internet for about a week. Since I was looking for something to do, I decided to browse the 'net. This isn't something I do often, but hey, I had no TV to watch and I wasn't sleepy. Cleaning my house was done for the day and the girls were all in bed. I had finished my library book and had some time to kill...so I started reading my friends' blogs. Then I noticed the blogs they followed and started to read them. Someone mentioned handmade halloween costumes and I thought, "Hey, I could do that."
Hmmm...famous last words...or first words depending on how you look at it, because that was the seed that is growing into "One Diva Three Dolls."
I began researching how to guides online. Then one of my girls brought me a hairbow that had fallen apart. "Well, I could duplicate that." I thought...and so I did...again, and again, and again, and again!
The Halloween costumes turned out super cute and a friend saw them...add another costume. Then I told another friend about them at a party and showed her a picture...add two more costumes.
I made dresses for my daughters to wear to church on Halloween...add two more dresses...and so it begins.
My friend Nancy (my first dress order) told me she had been thinking all day of a name for my company. She came up with the One Diva because, hey, let's face it, that's just what I am! And of course, the three dolls are for my own real life dolls, Bailey, Kylie and Delaney. And so One Diva Three Dolls is born.
I'm currently taking orders for holiday dresses, rompers and bows at onediva3dolls@aol.com and have a page on Facebook called One Diva Three Dolls. I'm working hard on Christmas and am excited about what God has in store for me as I start this venture.
I'm currently praying for an embroidery machine, so if you wanna donate one...
