See how I hand stitch my dolls in 10 Skin tones? Very representative, mindful.
See how I did it as standard, not an afterthought? It's very inclusive, very considerate.

Add a note a tell me which tone matches yours

Yoo! I AM TIYAD!! My shoulders are fkd and I'm in alot of pain, so I have decided to take a break and am closing my order books for the summer, as of today.

Any orders received before Sunday night (last night) will be processed and completed but any orders that come in after 5pm today (Monday 29th) will not be processed until 5th September.

I have been having back-to-back flare-ups and mad pain, with my EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) and it's not easing off, so I have to slow down a bit.

I still have 2 upcoming markets I've committed to, so I'm hoping that resting, for a bit, now will let me be ok for those and give me the energy to enjoy the summer holidays with the cool kid!

All being well, you'll be able to find me at Leadenhall Market with on August 10th and at the on August 17th but I'll do a separate post with details about those, later!

Also, I'm a bit behind on emails so please bear with me if you're waiting for a response!

Just finished working on this little cutie, a special gift from a grandma for her granddaughter!
The colour choices and fabric work so well together, it'll be hard to hand this one over! 🥰🥰🍉

This doll is an 8in Baby Cuddles doll and is personalised with the little girl's initial, on its heart.

I don't have words to describe the videos I saw, last night, after the massacre of the people sheltering in tents in Rafah.

I cannot unsee them images and I will never EVER forget what I saw.

I will never understand how this genocide is being allowed to continue.. How anyone still say they don't know what is happening.. WHY ISN'T THIS STORY HEADLINE NEWS, ON EVERY NETWORK?

The information is available, watch stories from on the ground, in Palestine.. See for yourself. follow
