I have had requests for two years now for kits of these cute little “Googlies”, but have just never had time to get them completed. On September 27th, I will be teaching this workshop at the Oklahoma City Expo 2014 Doll Show. I am getting together extra kits so I will have some available for purchase after I get back from the show. Here is a brief description of the kit:

Mohair wigs are available for purchase, or you can use your own.
