Newest DinkyBaby.com Distributors
Looks like the Carolinas are in the DinkyBaby business. The two newest distributor are from North Carolina, Angie Paturzo (on the left) and from South Carolina we have Lynne S. Lee (on the right). These ladies have placed and received their first orders and are getting ready for the holiday season that will be fast approaching. This is a great time to start a home based business like this. If you would like information on how you can start a DinkyBaby.com business just send me an email at vicki@dinkybaby.com I know both of these women are going to have a great time and be successful.

I just received a wonderful idea from one of my fantastic doll maker friends. Read below.

Hi,
I just to say that the dvd is wonderful! I don't know if it will help anyone but you do say to hold the thread on the top when doing the fingers and toes but if you put a pin in the top of each one as you do it, it cant slip off I hope this makes sense best wishes
Dorothy of the U.K.

This is such a great idea and I thank her for it. Dorothy, you will receive my next new pattern for FREE just for sharing. It will be my little 8 inch DinkyClown named Preston, after my one and only grandson.

Do you have an idea , email me and lets share.

Even though I have already made quite a few Dinkys I learned so many new tips and techniques I will definitely be using...your truly a Unique Soft Sculpture Artist..Thank You for sharing your talent with all us doll lovers! Can't wait for DVD #2 and whatever else you have in the works!!! Take Care! Your Friend Cathy ; )

Some special dolls are coming soon. Here is a sneak peak at just two on my creations. I used to make these two long ago. This is my Dinky Ballerina and Mop Clown. The Ballerina is perfect for the girls who take dance; she will be available in two sizes the one shown (24 inches) and a smaller version. She stands on toe and looks just like she is ready to dance away. The Mop Clown is a favorite of little boys. He will be available in three sizes, from 8 inch to 24 inch. He is so colorful and such a cute doll, I just had to bring him back after all these years.
These patterns will be available in June.













The making of my DVDs was an experience I will not long forget. For two days, hot lights, close-ups and retakes we finally have all the filming completed. This is Les Bradley of Morr Film and Video taking some final shots. Everything had to be just right, from the set up to the lighting.

Hi Vicki! I think it was harder taking a picture then making dinkys..My Granddaughters are so different in personalities, the older one Nyah is outgoing, really goofy loves the camera, see 2nd pic, and Reese is shy and does not like her picture taken (I had to give her a dollar) but she especially loves baby dolls. She never put her Dinky down the whole day! Anyway I did enjoy making them and hope to make many more, thanks so much for sharing your Dinky Baby Dolls with us!!!
Cathy

Here is another goofy pic of Nyah..inside the house, at least you can see Reese's cute little face! And my other two Dinkys too. My Granddaughters just love their Dinkys, my Daughter just told me that today they insisted on taking them to the park. Isn't that cute! Now my 16 month old Grandson really wants one too, so he is next. Thanks again, Cathy ; }

This is one of my favorite customers. She was so kind to share these pictures with me. I have her permission to share them with you. She did such a great job. Her Granddaughters are so cute and you can see that they love their Dinky Babies.

I would love to see what you have done and share it with others. Please send me pictures of Dinky Babies you have made.
