The Big Reveal

I've nearly finished making up the new designs...I have 2 spacemen to finish off (a ginger one and a dark haired one), and then I'm done (and can get them all into the shop this week sometime). But I wanted to share them with you whilst the light was ok (not brilliant, but better than it has been for ages - roll on spring and I can get back outside to take pics)

Here's the whole gang

Georgina and her brother George (ginger dolls - hoorah!)

Harry and Freddy (their parents were hoping for boys)

And Zibbly and Zabbly, some alien friends for the spacemen


There's another brunette, and a rabbit in the main pic too, but I haven't taken individual pics of those yet (yes Laurie, there was a duck on the fabric - it's on the rabbit's dress!)

They are a bit different to the dolls I did before, because I wasn't that keen on them (they looked fine until you got up close!) The legs are floppier on these ones (which is nicer when they are being dragged about by toddlers - as I have road tested them with Leo), and there's a bit more atention to detail. I'm happy, the kids are happy, are you happy?

I'm going to have a big shop update later this week, in time for the weekend. I want to clear it out a bit and tidy it up and then I've decided on a monthly review and update. Hopefully it'll make me a bit more organised and stop things getting listed in dribs and drabs.

I love those ginger dolls, I wish I'd found you years ago, my sons ginger but as he is nearly 16 I don't think he'd appreciate me buying him one! but perhaps I can persuade him!!

i AM VERY happy, they are all gorgeous but I am most displeased with the way you are teasing us by not yet showing the spacemen!!
I fear there will be a scrum at the door to your etsy shop, but i'll be ok, I have pointy elbows !! hahaha!!
ps re my sister's fabric, it's from that shop we talked about t'other day so put it on your list!!
