Peggy Dolls...For boys!

Who'd a thunk it...dolls for boys? Hand painted by us for the little boys in your life that love to role play. They are super sturdy and made out of plantation timber from European forests. We hand paint them with child-friendly non-toxic paint and coat in them a super tough clear finish. There's, Pirate Peter, Soldier Sam and Cowboy Cooper, all ready and waiting for your little man to spend hours of fun swash buckling the high seas, or roping himself some cattle. Pop over to the website and have a look at our other Peggy Doll designs...even some for the girls!

Reason for my absence...

Hi everyone, I have been rather slack and not blogged anything for the longest time but there is a good reason for that...I went back to full-time study, (although it should be called all-the-time study as it seems that all I do is assignments, exercises and tear my hair out trying to keep up with the young whipper snapper techno savvy toddlers who happen to be my fellow students), the only people older than me are the teaching staff! 

I am doing a diploma in design, graphic design, and guess what? I love it! I cant get enough! The reason for the little t cup and saucer is to show off my newly acquired skills with Photoshop...argh, that program has been driving me nuts forever, trying to work out how to remove images from the background has been challenging to say the least, but with the help of one of the lovely kids, and I say that endearingly cos they are all about 16-22, I'm a bit older than that...I have been finally able to remove an image from its background...ta da! I am quite 'chuffed' with myself and feel like clipping all and sundry from its background. I can see I'm still a little rusty around the curved bottom of the saucer and I know I could have tweaked it some more but that's a whole other story! Maybe with more practice?

Onto other news...I haven't told you about our new stockists...Rachel Skuse from Roma Queensland and Ruby's Room in Hobart, Tasmania. I shall post some photographs of both businesses in the next few days. 

So if we take too long to post some more pics soon please don't give up on us...we have so many new products in the making and we are working overtime with all the different projects that go into the products and development of Cowboys and Cupcakes.

Take care
Angela
