    MMM I'm not so sure about this one, she isn't Tim Burtony enough, a bit plain and pretty! This one is Charlotte after my neighbours great great grandma who first owned the fabric used in the undershirt, I do think I like the slightly gothicy look more

    I have to say my preference would be for the more gothicy look too.....then again i tended to look like that for most of my life :rotfl::rotfl: but Charlotte is lovely too, and i think its a good idea to be able to vary the look of the dolls - lets face it not everyone gets the Bella look :D

    Yeah i know what you mean, its hard to make things that aren't maybe your own taste lol - have you put them on ebay? It will be interesting to hear how much interest they get on there :D might not be the best place for them but its really hard to predict!

    Did i get some more sleep? ummmm no lol. Been quite busy today though so it will probably hit me about 8 ish.

    Have found the perfect fabric to finish off my patchwork bag :j:j am really excited! I do need to try and find some pins though before i can get it done or go visit mum who has a lovely organised sewing box :D and my sewing machine :rotfl:

  • Everyone has been busy busy busy! Time for my update. Got some more website work done and finished a gift bag. I also hemmed some trousers and nurse mummy made "Biggie Blue's" poorly leg better! Today an order of 16, yes 16, fat quarters from Cath Kidston. I was so excited about seeing that package I nearly fell over!
    Will be getting to work on that lot tomorrow along with a family photo collage and frame for my sister.
    I started a blog today too-get me! I feel like I've had a productive day for once!
    Best go to sleep now! x
