    Default Graci's Attic...or Dorri the doll

    Well ladies, I've decided to try doll making for a living. I designed a yarn doll that seems to have people falling in love with her.

    My dh wants me to see about a patent before I start selling her on the internet. Right now I have 2 orders (local) and a friend is taking Dorri to work with her to see if she can get me some orders.

    I'll let you know if Lydia floods me with orders after I talk to her Monday. I'm soooo excited. Well...I'm off to find out about patents.

    wish me luck!
