An apple for your teacher?

I have made a couple of custom Maisie Dolls recently as presents for special teachers. The dolls were so sweet that I had to make some more for my Etsy store.

Win Miss Mousey the Maisie Doll

For the month of November, our friends over at Kid Independent are hosting the mammoth Plushie Palooza toy festival + giveaway. Wow! 30 plushies will be given away in total.

The lovely Miss Mousey has joined in the fun too. For your chance to win Miss Mousey, simply leave a comment on the Kid Independent blog post featuring Miss Mousey.

Miss Mousey is stepping out in her new dress made from Minny Muu fabric from Lecien. It has the cutest little mice printed all over. Too sweet.

 
Now for a second chance draw ...

To thank all my friends for supporting me, I would like to offer something more. Leave a comment on this post letting me know that you have commented on the Kid Independent blog post for your chance to win something extra special (a secret project which I am currently working on). The second chance draw will take place on 1 December 2010.

Ooops! The voting in Plushie Palooza finishes at midnight 8 December 2010, so the second chance draw featured on this post will take place on 10 December 2010. Sorry for any confusion :o)

Good luck !

Lost Maisie Dolls

As you know I name all my Maisie Dolls. Every single doll has his or her own unique name. This is a great way to keep track of all my dolls. I also photograph every doll so I can keep track of fabrics used, colour combinations, custom orders etc. I also back up all my photographs on my laptop to flash drive ... so I thought ...

 
I have been taking so many photographs of little Harry that my laptop's memory was having a little meltdown. My mummy brain must have been thinking of too many things at once when I was transferring and deleting files.

 
How did I manage to delete so many doll photos? Oh, my poor little girls that I will never see again. I have been a little bit down in spirits over this STUPID mistake. I had grand plans of creating a photo book of Maisie Dolls A-Z for myself.

 
Grrrrr !
