After about a 3 year hiatus I am back to continue creating new doll and doll related goodies. I ran into a slump back in 2020 when the whole Covid thing was happening. We all got sick in our home. That sickness lingered for over 6 months. It hit me particularly hard. It was a very dark and discouraging time for me. I was not feeling well for what seemed to be a never-ending amount of time. I stayed as active as I could on the Shortcake groups and pages,but felt very unmotivated to do creative things. It was a very difficult time for me. My husband lost him Mother to Covid that same span of time. I had lost my father to Altheimer's in early 2019 also. Prior to that it was very stressful for the family because of the Altheimer's. He wasn't himself at all and things got very complicated. After his death it was very emotionally taxing on all of us. It was a very excruciatingly difficult and lengthy process. During all of that my husband and I had to try to keep it together and still make ends meet. Bills we still coming in as they usually do. Bills have no mercy, so we needed to keep working. It was hard to get over the mess and work it all out. Another thing that took place in this past year is that my Facebook page was compromised. My personal Facebook acct was hijacked by what seems to be a bot. It was deleted by Facebook and made it impossible for me to access my original Plum's Place Studio FB page and several other pages that I was an admin to. Although I have tried several times to recover it, it has been a useless effort. I do still have my Plum's Place Studio Pinterest, Deviant Art, and Instagram accts. Needless to say, I was very busy with not much time for my dollies and all of the drama life was throwing at me left me uninspired and plan ole sad..
Spring forward to today, May. 16, 2023, I have a new situation. I feel much brighter. I am very happy that even though I went through that dark time in my life, the clouds slowly became brighter, and the silver lining appeared. I was able to survive it thanks to the Good Lord above, who without His love and mercy I would be a total mess right now, lol. I have my handy ideas notebook in hand and am ready to move forward. I am also working on some berry new ideas. Right now, I have some berry nice outfits I will be creating for the berry kids. They are called Newberry Wear. They will be a sort of special extra wardrobe for the Berry Kids that are made specifically to the style and colors of each character. It isn't fully developed, but it in the works. So far I have created this romper for Angelcake. It's a play outfit for her to run around in the yard when she doesn't want to get her pretty dress dirty. I'm glad to tell my story today. It is very hard sometimes to express inside stuff to the outside world about myself, but I think you guys are so kind and thoughtful. Many of you have checked up on me throughout the years. I truly appreciate your concern and kind gesture. Thank you for staying along for the ride. It will be fun now :)<3
