i think i need a thread about this!
i feel nervous, my swapee is juicyfig and i don't know her, so i've stalked her blog to see what she's into, i've never finished making a doll before - although i have started a few! My mushy little brain is whirring with ideas and i'm sure i'll be ok once i make a start

oh vv - I feel the same - at least we can post on here with our nerves and terrors

I got Ravenhill - who sells loads of dolls on etsy - I have never even started one, not to mind finished...

yikes

dizzyday07 · 21/04/2008 12:56

can I join in??

I had an idea for a doll that I've wanted to design for a few weeks but I'm not sure if it will suit my swap partner but got no inspiration from her blog

Bugger - I missed this one!

Will watch with interest (& not a little jealousy )

Im not involved in this at all - I didnt know there was a mn doll swap infact!
I knit dolls and dolls clothes and would be delighted by anything someone else made for me - I think you should all have a lot more confidence in your abilities, and assume that that its as good to receive as it is to give!

jeangenie · 28/04/2008 10:12

sorry GM bet you get a lovely doll too though!

Gingermonkey · 28/04/2008 16:18

bet yours is best tho

dizzyday07 · 28/04/2008 16:37

Mine will be crap not very good.

I have an idea in my head but don't possess the knowhow or the skills to re-create it in fabric form!!

jeangenie · 28/04/2008 17:45

glad you have such faith in ME GM

i need to stop avoiding the issue and grab the doll by the horns!!!!
ooohhh yes maybe a devil doll!!

my grandad has been ill(heart) lately so his kids have been taking turns to go and look after him - on my Mum's last shift she dug out all my Grandma's old doll making books for me - she died 10 years ago but i just couldn't bear rummaging in her workroom even though i obviously wanted her stash, so i have no excuse not to get on and choose a pattern and crack on but i just can't

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh - i'm sooooo indecisive!
