"Bindi" completed...........and a giveaway!

Over on Facebook last week I announced that my blog was approaching 700 (689 to be precise) followers and that when I passed 700, I would host a giveaway. The magic 700 occurred within a day, (now up to 723 - thanks all you new followers!) so here I am announcing a giveaway! I'm making a Christmas-themed Sukeshi doll something like this for the winner:

or this:


All you have to do is leave a message with your name either here or on Facebook and I'll put you in the hat. If you prefer your privacy and don't wish to leave a message in either place, you can still enter, but you'll have to email me privately. (You can find my contact details under the header of this blog). I'll draw the winner a week from today on 18th October 2013.

Yesterday I completed this little doll - "Bindi" - here is her final photo shoot. She should be available in my Etsy store this weekend.






Happy Springtime from Bindi! (In the Southern World, anyway!)

    I love how Bindi turned out ... she's gorgeous and her new little elephant is the perfect accessory for her to carry. One of these days I must order one of your 18" doll kits to make. :-)

    Congratulations on your 700th :) I am so thankful that you still post here and would love to win one of your wonderful dolls :) The reason why I prefer your blog is that I have a few FB family members and friends who post to FB multiple times in a day, so I really see very little of what is going on except for them. Coming to check up on your blog is a deliberate choice that I make, and I love to see what you are up to! Thanks again for your giveaway :)
