Emmaline
some of my order arrived from Dennis
the dark tan Mina is quite , quite beautiful
I changed her to 5 mm eyes ...a little difficult to fit as they were a little small ... but she is so beautiful and so realistic ;Im just captivated by her
I look at them sometimes and feel very mellow ..for years I have wanted to make the perfect tiny ...and I feel I have now
I think I will be making a large version of her next year
in dark tan and light tan ..I just love this girl
so any wigs made from those colours ..which is about 50% cant get sent
if you have ordered any of these colours ..I am hopeing they should be with me next week

Im not a happy Bunny ..the brown is a replacement parcel ordered in July ..so that gives you an idea how low I am
Bugger it
but July is a little long to be waiting for my delivery and its getting to me now
they said they were shipping out my order 2 weeks ago EMS ..it HAS to arrive this week
all the browns , blondes and another red ...they have sold out of that now
all the orders I caught up with ...Im now about to slip behind again
