Someone also gave me a tip once about rooting. Cut the end off of a sandwich bag and put the hair inside the bag sticking the rooting end through the hole , then roll it tight and tape around it. It saves so much of the struggle and the hair roots so much nicer

I tried this on my last 2 babies and it works wonderfully. You can actually root till the last bit of hair in the bag. When you run out, just fill it with a bit of hair again. You can also use a rubber band.

Working on Tobiah, another kit that looks like my grandson, Achilles. Well, one thing you can’t see very well in pictures is that Achilles has 2 different colored eyes. One is hazel, the other is brown. So…I put chuck hazel eyes in Tobiah. I’ll be darn. No matter what angle, or which lighting…one looks hazel, the other looks brown. They are the opposite of Achilles…like a mirror image eye twin. But the doll eyes look just like Achilles’ real eyes. :flushed:

I wish you could too, I live by my family, I cannot imagine living where I couldn’t see them regularly. We just go away to get some alone time together when he is off work each winter. Always lands during our anniversary January 22, so doubles for our anniversary. We are celebrating 30 years this year!
