Oh my goodness!

Ok so I wasn't going to make a thread here, I was just going to wait until I got him and then post pictures, but he's shipped and I just checked the Makies Instagram and I'm too excited!!

I'm 99.9% sure the one with the orange sticker is my Devon!

My only concern is that the tracking number I've been emailed doesn't seem to be working. Hopefully that's a system error and he'll turn up safe and sound.

EDIT: Oop, no, the tracking is fine. I just needed to use the UK specific Fedex site rather than the one the email linked to. Phew!

Oh, you lucky duck. You got a sneak peek! Looks fantastic so far.

Thanks! This sneak peek will have to keep me going until the 25th when I'll finally be able to see him in person. A whole extra week of waiting!
Can't help but laugh at the fact he's not even made it to the house yet and there's already someone miffed by his pink hair.

Yes! I just checked the Instagram earlier this evening and thought, wait, I think that's Devon! Any luck on a skirt for him?

I also saw the comment. I did a facepalm.

Yes, I think so! I've found a couple of Sindy skirts and a nice shirt. I'm dreadful at putting outfits together though so I fear poor Devon may be at the mercy of my fashion blindness for a little while. It's hard to tell until you can see the items together and on the doll! 
I'm also going to look up some tutorials for doll sized flower crowns I think. A little cliche but I'd quite like him to have a little daisy crown. Plus there's no sewing involved.

I don't know, I think a flower crown sounds cute.

He's internet-famous! Next thing you know he'll have his own YouTube channel.

Ha ha. I could see that actually, he'd have a mini makeshift nature vlog which would probably actually just be lots of videos of him crouched down, staring at snails in complete silence (so as not to disturb them, obviously).
But all the comments on his channel would be about his hair and not about all the pretty snails

Hehe! Totally! I looked at the Instagram comment and was like, really, diss him before he even gets home?! Poor Devon. Hope he gets home soon! 

yay! the pink hair is adorable damnit!

Alrighty, I have some clothes for him, I have the makings of a flower crown and I picked up some fabric from hobby craft that I figure I can use to try and make some more clothes. It might not be the right kind of fabric (I know nothing about fabrics, eek!) but I'll be able to practise with the sewing machine and getting the sizing right and stuff so..  yay! Devon is going to be keeping me quite busy.

I can finally get my hands on him on Saturday!! I'm really excited!

awesome! I can't wait to see that little flower child boy all done up. He's gonna be adorable!

I look forward to seeing him too!
