Meet Number 8

It's been at least 20 hours of looping plugs and stitching them into the scalp. At least. I've shoved a darning needle through my finger more than once, thought I was going to run out of hair and seriously doubted my sanity.

But then I put my brave pants on and did her makeup...

Glittery glittery glittery!

...and now I think I realise that Number 8 isn't going to be heading off anywhere too fast, because she's completely gorgeous.

Ooooh. 

Can't quite believe what I've created. Here's a reminder of how she looked before.

Cute, but not smouldering...

And here's the after again.

Now all she needs is a name... and to stop making my other customs look bad. Bah!

Spring Fashions

Finally had the chance to get the sewing machine out over the weekend... admittedly, it was 11pm before I could take a decent photo!

I picked up a nice little bundle of Tilda scraps a while ago which has got some lovely dressmaking prints in it. The fabric is designed as a quilting cotton, so is perhaps a little sturdy for clothing, but it holds a shape nicely. 

Wonder how long they can hang on to these before the Blythes nick them?!

Baldy Number 6...

Ahahaha! As of today, Baldy Number 6 is no longer Baldy... she's...

SWAMPY.

Hair's not properly stuck down yet. 

Oh, alright. Perhaps not swampy.

Swampy is kind of sticking though. 

Certainly words like verdant and mossy come to mind!
Stay tuned for better (daylight) photos once I've made certain she's going to keep her hair on!

Box of OMG WINNARZ!

Finally, the moment you've all sort of been waiting for honest, really, yes!

Happily, Tiny Bear was around to help me draw the winners. Given we only had two or three people to pick from, we decided to forgo the Random Number Generator and just bung some bits of paper in a hat.

Tiny Bear loves the attention, as you can tell!

So without further ado, let's find out who got lucky!

Okay. So given there was only one person interested in day 2 and 3, the book and bracelet set go to...

Yay, Scarlette!

Day 4 was the tasty-looking modelling chocolate, which goes to...

Don't forget to use the anti-bac handwipe!

And finally, the hard-fought-over Noo the Coo... I was tempted to put my own name in the hat, but you'll be pleased to hear that the lucky winner is...

Maaaarti! He's coming for you, is noo the coo!

Congratulations to all our winners, and thanks to everyone who commented.

If you can send your postal addresses to duckiemonsterSPLATgmail.com (where SPLAT = @), I'll get your bits and bobs off to you soon as I can... which unless the address is in my inbox by 11am Saturday morning is looking like Wednesday.

If you've been despairing of your regular doll-like content, have no fear! Tomorrow brings a sneaky peaky of what Number 6 is looking like these days... and we may even have an update on Number 8 soon!

Box of OMG! Day 5!

Man, is it day 5 already? Where did the week go!? This is a hard one, this is. If I didn't want to give away the modelling chocolate, I really don't want to give this little dude away. 

He's cute. He's fuzzy... he's Noo the Blue-Nosed Coo and he's gorgeous! 

Okay, so if he stays in this house, he'll likely end up a cat toy. Take pity on Noo and save him from his Feline Fate by dropping a comment below. 

As we're posting a list of winners tomorrow, you have until 20:00 BST to post your love for Noo so's I can put you all into the RNG and pull out a victor! 

Box of OMG! Day 4!

I must admit. I considered keeping this. 

Remember how your Mother told you not to play with your food? 

Yeah. 

Magic Chocolate is mouldable, roll-able, non-melty chocolate. It comes thoughtfully packaged with an antibacterial handwipe so's you can make your masterpieces without nasty bugs on your hands.

Reckon you're the next Masterchef? Drop a comment below. Winners picked Friday!
Oh, and be sure to come back tomorrow... we've something really, really special on offer...

Box of OMG! Day 3!

Oooh, you came back! 

Okay, here's the day 3 clobber from the Box of OMG: this is my 'VIP' prize for parting with 38p/week for my box (Ooooh) and it's rather a nice one. 

This WearShare friendship bracelet kit is seriously clever. Made of laminated plastic, you and a friend cut the band in the middle, then use the funky coloured string included to tie the bracelets on to one another whilst swearing eternal love and devotion. 

Cow badge included free gratis. 

Just drop a comment below if you'd like these bracelets. They'll go with anything, I reckon! Winners revealed on Friday. 

Incidentally, Wearshare look even cooler than this; they'll let you customise your own bracelets with your photos from facebook and instagram. Go visit their website and have a play!
