I started a country folk art business, called Backwoods Junction, less than a year ago and since then, it's been growing like crazy. I was blessed to be invited to sell my dolls at a very high-end hand made boutique in Louisville last fall and they called me today with an awesome request. There is an author who has written a book about nuns and she is having a big book premiere party in a few weeks. She came back into the boutique to get one of my nun dolls but they were all sold. She's requested a nun doll to sit on display next to her book at the premiere! I'm so excited! It's such great exposure for me!
Below is a picture of one of the nun dolls that I make....

That is great news! Your nun has such a sweet warm face to her. Maybe she could become that book's mascot. :)

Your joy in making the dolls certainly shows on the face of your little nun! She is quite fetching for a girl of the cloth! :) Congratulations!

She has to be delivered to the store next Saturday. I got her body sewn together last night. I have to start on her clothing today. I will post a picture of her when she's done!
