Freaky doll repainting!

So I saw something (somewhere!) about repainting dolls and thought I'd give it a try. This is my first ever attempt and isn't very good, but I will be trying again.
First I bought a doll in Poundland, with lovely purple hair...

Then I removed the face with nail varnish remover...

Then I repainted! Next time I'll go slower, and get some decent brushes.

Sock fishing

Keeping with the tradition of making handsome Mr M presents out of socks, here's his Christmas present - sock fishing! I make fish out to socks, with metal washers inside as part of their mouths. The hook on the fishing rod has a magnet inside. Had a bit of trouble finding a magnet strong enough to pick up the fish, but finally found one inside my old computer of all places! Didn't realised computers have magnets in, but there you go! Mr M's mummy says he loves fishing, and trying to hook up everything in sight!

Hats!

Can't stop crocheting hats! Think all the cold weather just inspired me!





And saving the best until last, here's my big bro modelling his 'beard hat' I made him for Christmas!!
