So I managed to finish my second dotee doll yesterday. I had to change the hanging loop as I couldn't get it to attach securely. I love this one, the hair is so cool!
I would have continued and made more but I had a distraction, in the form of my beautiful baby neice Lilith. She's 5 months old now and an absolute angel. Here's the latest pic of her, with her auntie Clare.
I also got my birthday present from my Great Gran yesterday. My birthday isn't until June but she knows it is something I wanted and decided I should have it now instead of waiting. It's a Swarovski Crystal figurine of Tinkerbell. It's limited to production in 2008 and is adorable. 
Today I went to visit my Great Grandma with my mum whilst my dad went out with his brother. We took a little of out crafting stuff and I made this 3 ATC's.
The purple one is for a button ATC swap I am in, and the 2 Winnie the Pooh ones are just because I like Winnie the Pooh.
I took some pictures of the bottlecaps I made the other day. These ones below I adored, until I saw what had happened with the glaze. You proberbly can't see it in the picture but the glaze has left holes under where it has set. It's so weird I have never seen it before but hopefully I will be able to remove the buttons and use them with some other caps.
The ones below are really pretty until you look closely. The paper I printed on was a bit thin and so it has just soaked the liquid up, but it will be ok, I will just make it into a bracelet for me instead of selling it, no big deal right?!

I love the bottle caps, what do you use for the glaze?
I am in the BB journal swap with you and the others. I am really looking forward to it, if not a bit daunted.
I used anitas 3d gloss for the ones in the top picture, but I don't like the way they turned out, they have holes under where its set, really strange, and for the bottom ones I used a Hi-Tack liquid glaze, I like that best, must get some more :)
I have actually just been reading about journals and wondering what I have let myself in for! I printed out the list of 100 from keri's blog you linked to and some of the suggestions are mad, I thought it was a diary, but I am looking forward to doing it :)
I get really panicked when I see cute little dotties. I still have to make one and my sewing machine (trusty for 30 years) just broke down.
Are they easy to make by hand?
They are easy enough, just take time to make. They took me about 2 hours each, but I don't do much sewing, so if you do I'm sure they would be quicker :)
