Custom Orders

Last week was a week of gifts.
Between planning and attending baby showers and a few belated birthday gifts, one thing is for certain- Everyone loves a handmade one of a kind gift.

The only thing I love as much as attending a well themed party, is planning one! Naturally that means whenever possible I give themed gifts whether it's for a birthday, shower, or even a housewarming present.

Last spring I started the tradition of making "softies" specifically for the baby showers I attended.

If you, like me, are the kind of person who rarely gives something that was registered for, why not try a gift that is far from ordinary. There's nothing like receiving something fun and a little unexpected in a pretty box- wouldn't you say?
Now you too can be the coolest auntie and perfect party hostess with ellaFRANKENdee's custom orders. Work with me to create something straight from your imagination or pull right from your child's favorite story book!

Coming Soon.....

Here's a taste of what's to come!

What's black, white,and red all over the world?

Can't guess? 

It's Harry Potter!

No I am not a Hogwarts Junkie, but I do love a great themed gift. Would love to show you a picture, but then it would ruin next weeks reveal! Use your imagination and think perfect for kids of all ages and would make a perfect gift. And here's a hint it's not a doll!

There isn't just one reveal next week but 2!!

Next week we are adding to the FrankenDoll collection. Using popular monster movies and tv shows as inspiration, every week we will be creating a handle full of dolls that depict each mutant creation. Keep your eyes peeled you never know which movie monster we might capture next.

Here is something new and exciting for all of you. Our first featured item has arrived!

 FRANKEN DOLLS!

They are weird. They are cuddly. They are colorful. And they are really excited to go home with you.

 

 (here are some of the dolls soon to be on sale @ ellaFRANKENdee )

Inspired by voodoo dolls, these dolls are unique in more ways than one. Each doll is made one at a time, so no two dolls are alike. The fabric used in their faces and arms have been hand dyed using black tea; look closely and you will see a swirl of color that cannot be reproduced. Black stitching is hand applied along seams and mouth, and gives a sweet but spooky look.

All dolls are 100% handmade by me in a smoke free home.

Every doll has a hand painted face, button eyes, and fleece hair. With a 100% cotton body, they are filled with premium polyester fiberfill. Spot clean only; if machine washing cannot be avoided, wash separately and tumble low. 

Ordering dolls are easy! Just click the link above and pick yourself out on you like. *Dolls contain small parts (buttons). If you are intending on purchasing for an infant please message me via etsy to order one without hand stitching and buttons.

Remember every week I will be posting about our featured item, and what I'm working on for next week!

let the creativity explode...

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.
-albert einstein

Art can be characterized in too many ways to explain. And everyone looks art in different ways. Some consider classical painting true art; others photography or fashion. I consider true art the feeling you get when you create something incredibly unique and release it into the world.
(exit soapbox)

What I create, in a way, is my ART.

ellaFRANKENdee is my heartfelt art. And I release it into the world for you.

The newest addition to Ella Dee is finally here.

This extension of Ella Dee will feature handmade toys with an odd twist. Each week I will be blogging about the featured item and what I've been working on that week.
 Later day we will be opening our Etsy and every week we will be adding new and exciting items to our store.

I'm new, have mercy

Welcome Everyone.

If you are following this, you probably fall into one of two groups.

group #1

my friends and family who are curious and/or supportive

group #2

blog addicts- who happened upon me by accident

Either way, welcome. And be nice. I am neither a blogger or a journal keeper- thus not a writer or speller.

Lets start with an introduction. I'm Angela, owner, designer, whatever of Ella Dee. Being the kind of person who can't stand to be bored, I have lots of ideas and never ending projects. But with the encouragement of a beyond amazing husband and extremely wonderful support system, I have settled on one and officially (business license and all) opened a children's clothing and toys business. After a few set backs last year, I am taking Ella Dee in a "less commercial" direction. 

Soon I will be selling on two different Etsy shops, and my creations will be available for all of you.

ellaFRANKENdee

Ella Dee Clothing will feature a collection of girls clothing in bold colors and wearable/washable fabrics. Perfect for girls and moms! This shop will be limited, mostly pieces I have made over the last year, but it will also be open for custom orders and select handmade baby things. However, ellaFrankendee is were most of my focus will be. This new addition to Ella Dee is an exciting collection of soft toys for boys and girls. It will be no ordinary collection however, this new branch of business caters to the real design side of my brain. Its not commercial or normal, but it will be completely Angela.

Until then- feel free to follow my adventures on here.
