For reasons known only to yourselves, people follow my silly little blog. They put up with a lot and they shower me with love over my dolls and say very lovely things and are generally wonderful human beings, and for that I am very thankful as it spurs me on to want to make better dolls and cause death by cuteness.
Having now got over 1,000 people following my blog when I never even expected to get 1 follower is pretty insane! I wanted to say thank you in my own little way so, here’s the deal: I don’t really do trades or commissions or sell my dolls. I make them because I want to and I like sewing. I’m not saying I’m the best person in the world at sewing or anything but I give it a go.
That said though, doing the dolls does take me a wee bit of time so your not getting it entirely for nothing so here are the rules:
Goes without saying really, but this giveaway is only open to my followers.
Reblog this or like it or whatever but that doesn’t count as an entry, just you spreading the word
Send me an ask (or a submit) with a little dolly story of you and the person/character you want me to make. ADDITIONAL: keep it fairly short, sweet and cute. No dolly smut because that’s just wrong and no dolly angst because that makes me sad (unless there is a clever plot twist and the dolly ends up happy).
I’ll post them all with the tag #dollymakers 1k giveaway
I will post to anywhere in the world as long as your okay to give me a postal address.
Please have an open ask box or fanmail, otherwise I will have to pick another winner.
When the dolly arrives, please have the courtesy to let me know it’s arrived okay otherwise I will just stress you didn’t get it.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve already had a doll off me before, it’s open to everyone.
Initial closing date will be Friday 3rd April 2015 and I’ll shortlist it to my favourite 10-20, then draw a winner by a random generator.
NO GIVEAWAYBLOGS!!!
Thank you again to everyone for all your love and support, it really means a lot to me. Good luck everyone!
Okay, so I gotta be honest here, normally when I finish a doll I kinda think to myself, “Yeah, I did a good job on that” but not so much this time. I had a ton of trouble doing various bits of this and I’m still not 100% happy with it – this isn’t me looking for an ego boost here, it’s just I know my mistakes and I can see them a mile off lol. Anyway, here he finally is! I’ve only skimmed through the auctioneers route reviews so I apologies if I have murdered his character.
The other little bidder dolls were having an auction, so the little dolls auctioneering skills would be needed later on but for now he had other idea’s, “Alice! Alllliiiiiice!” he called out as he scampered around trying to find her, “Alice! We need to have tea party!”
“Yes,” the dolly maker agreed with the little dolly, who was happily lost in his own little head as he talked to the Siamese cat, “we must get the lemon pie and the best tea!”
