I'm sorry that I've been kind of scarce this week, and that the scarcity will probably continue for another week or so! It looks like Josiah and I will be flying to New York early next week to do something that is, for right now:
A.) A Secret
B.) Nerve-wracking
C.) Amazing
I'm going to be working, working, working my fingers to the bone all weekend long, and it all has something to do with that cute little doll up there at the top.
Happy Weekend, my sweet applets! And thank you for all of the sweet comments about the podcast from the last post...I'm so happy that people found it interesting/helpful/entertaining!

I am hooked on your blog, Emily. What a great style you have. Wonderful luck in the big apple, little apple!

Can I be the first to say... da da dada, da da dada.... is it wedding bells that I hear all the way over hear in Australia??? Have a great week, and I look forward to the next installment!
mim · February 22, 2008 at 08:18 PM
Ok so ONE though popped in my head of what you guys might be doing (see Mim's comment), but I am probably wrong hee hee! Have fun!!!!!
Marilyn · February 22, 2008 at 08:27 PM

Elena · February 22, 2008 at 08:40 PM
ooh, I think I know what your secret is! Maybe! I'm excited to see if I'm right! :)
Jenn · February 22, 2008 at 08:45 PM
This is the most exciting and tempting post ever.
Jessicafied · February 22, 2008 at 08:47 PM
good luck with your secret mission! have a safe journey.
kat · February 22, 2008 at 09:43 PM
Oooh, a secret involving a doll with a beret! How delicious! :)
I loved the podcast with Antonio Gould! It was extremely helpful and interesting. And don't worry, you don't sound like you're asking a question ALL the time. ;) (I fear I sound like that too!)
Happy Friday!
Veronica · February 22, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Cute cute cute little doll. I am expecting another little girl, so maybe, just maybe I'll be able to get her one of your little sweet things! Hope your trip goes well and you get all your work done before then! :)
Erika · February 22, 2008 at 11:48 PM
Yey I know what you sound like! I must admit I am rather attached to you! You sound amazing! So bizarre to hear you! wow! Keep on trucking Emily!xxx
littlestitcher · February 23, 2008 at 07:33 AM
p.s good luck Josiah I hope with all my heart it goes fantastically well!
littlestitcher · February 23, 2008 at 07:35 AM
My guess is that someone has picked this little doll up for mass production. Perhaps she will be in FAO Schwarz "a wonderland of toys" as your dolls are wonderful and loved by so many. Will we be seeing your prints at Target?
Anybody whose products sell out in less than five minutes is destined for mass market.
Good luck in whatever comes your way!

Tizzalicious · February 23, 2008 at 08:26 AM
Your doll is so so cute and clever - I think she might belong in a French cafe. I always love the new treasures you think of! Have an exciting and wonderful secret adventure in New York!
sarah · February 23, 2008 at 09:42 AM
Emily, I love the doll! I also enjoyed listening to the podcast. It was very informative/helpful as I am thinking about starting a blog. So, thank you!!
Laura · February 23, 2008 at 09:44 AM
Ohhhh New York? Are you visiting the Etsy labs? Now you've got me curious. If you are, tell Rob Kalin I said "hello" You've got to drop some clues girl...the suspense is a killer. lol

Ky Eliza · February 23, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Oh Emily I can hardly wait! Secrets are so exciting. Good luck! My guess is that your secret will reveal success from your many talents! I especially enjoyed your podcast. I listened while sewing, which was perfect. Best of luck to you! Go for cupcakes at Magnolia in NYC.

Valerie Parizeault · February 23, 2008 at 11:59 AM
...amazingly mysterious.
I hope your trip to NYC is everything you hoped for.
Whatever it is sounds like GREAT news.
I do hope you will be able to share it when you return home.
Have fun! ;)

Yes. Suspense.
Janet · February 23, 2008 at 05:25 PM
Hmm, I'm guessing that someone has a big business deal in the works! Good luck on your secret mission!!
Sheri · February 23, 2008 at 06:02 PM
Best wishes and YAY!
Lori Anderson · February 23, 2008 at 06:09 PM
Oh wow...like they said, good luck!
This is actually my first time in your blog (I think I found you through an image search for Pan's Labyrinth's Ofelia), and I must say, GORGEOUS GORGEOUS ARTWORKS! I hope I could as successful of an artist as you! You're an inspiration to all! :)
Take care now! :)
The Silent Maiden · February 23, 2008 at 07:40 PM
Intriguing.
I'm going to guess that it has something to do with a film and that they are using your artwork and/or this French doll in it.
Do I win something if I guess right?
Just kidding.
Have lots of fun.
Nancy Cook · February 23, 2008 at 08:45 PM
I love this little doll the best so far. I'm always excited to see what you create next.
Good luck in NY, have a fun trip!
Elizabeth · February 23, 2008 at 09:43 PM
"Bon chance" with your secret squirrel business! That little doll is a cutey.
Linda · February 23, 2008 at 09:54 PM
Oh.... I am a good guesser sometimes?
You be the judge!
Have a fun time in New York, please eat a hot dog for me.
Julie · February 23, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Is your secret an appearanceon Martha showing how to make your doll?!! That's my guess... good luck in the big apple!
mary-jo · February 24, 2008 at 01:20 AM
Oh my gosh...I'm a lurker! I really love your blog. I do plan on continuing to lurk about. You really are an inspiration for all crafters and artists. Knock 'em dead in NY!
p.s. you do not have a dorky voice!
all the best,
A loyal lurker
Stacey Charron · February 24, 2008 at 12:00 PM
What a sweet little doll!
ash · February 24, 2008 at 01:44 PM
Is it the Martha Stewart Show??
Annie · February 24, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Look at those adorable dolls. I'm about to jump to your Etsy shop but I have an inkling those little beauties are long gone. I'll have to check back more often.
Stephanie · February 25, 2008 at 01:09 AM
Oh gosh the dolls are just wonderful. I love the little beret.
Have fun on your trip!
Lady Ying · February 25, 2008 at 01:46 AM
Oh NYC.. the best city in the world.. where dreams come true! Have fun!
tiffany · February 25, 2008 at 09:49 AM
Cute doll! I sure hope they're available in your shop sometime soon... I think my baby girl needs one of those. :-)
