halloween dolls!

do you get involved with halloween? or do you light party it out?

in some ways i think it'd be rather fun to dress up and hang out with your neighbourhood every year on Oct 31st. but, mostly i'm relieved i don't have the insane stress of finding 7 different costumes every year on Oct 31st! ha. (phew!)

anyway, i made these dolls - mostly for fun, but also to help cover airfares for me and the kiddos to visit my sister - at exactly the opposite end of NZ - later this month.

they're available via a 3-day silent auction. that's where you email me an offer (tinyeyesnz(at)gmail.com) and on Saturday 3rd November the highest bidder wins. more details at my facebook page. me and the kiddos will be so grateful for any offers.

thanks!

oh hai!

there is SO much to say, and catch up on, but blogger is being such a brat to me since we've been up north again and i'm not really sure why....

we have been back up north for over 4 weeks now! it is all so familiar, but very different this time too (ie, we're living in a house, not a shed!) hopefully my blogger/photos issue will resolve (if i ignore it long enough?) and i can share some our happenings and doings.

for now, check out this blog post that totally made me cry.

(it's my MAMA! and her HOME! and her GARDEN! and her awesome QUILTING skills!)

thanks for sharing the link, Julie x

cool

check out the view every morning from my kitchen window.

and want to know something else that is mega-cool?

there haven't been two sunrises the same, so far.

it's like sunrises are equivalent to fingerprints, for God.

get stuffed!

I’m just going to be honest here and let you know I want you to get stuffed. I’m serious! You guys have all been so supportive and encouraging that I think it’s time YOU had a chance to Get Stuffed (…in a good way)!

If you’ve been following along via Instagram you will have seen the sneak peeks of what my Dee*Luxe dolls are wearing. (I have had the best fun dressing vicariously through these dolls!)  BUT…I have one more Dee*Luxe Doll to make and, as a way of acknowledging your support, I want her to be wearing YOUR outfit.

Here’s how: post a picture of you wearing your favourite outfit to the Tiny Eyes Facebook wall and the outfit with most likes and/or my personal preference will be made into a Dee*Luxe Doll and sold during November along with the rest of the Dee*Luxe range.(The winner will have first option on purchase, of course)

You have until midday next Wednesday 17th October.

The winning outfit will be announced sometime that afternoon (hopefully!). Ready, go!
