Thanks everyone. You are all so inspiring.
One Christmas, OMG, 30 years ago, I supported our Christmas and really our family. My husband and his family were starting a new business and he was gone all the time, but bringing home no money. I had started a daycare, and that helped, but I spent all my spare time making dolls and stuff like that for a little shop in my town. I didn't get rich but I made enough to pay the bills and have Christmas and even made dolls for all the daycare kids. And I loved it. I like being busy.
I have scoured the pattern and don't see on it anywhere that says I can not sell them. I can't sell the pattern or anything like that, but I think it would be ok to sell a few. Plus,like I said, I have bunches of other soft doll patterns I can use. I also change them up, and add my own spin. Even though this Minkee baby is a new creation, it is quite similar to the ones I used to make.
Oh my, my head is spinning with ideas, I may never sleep. Thanks so much.
