Hi again lot's of updates this week,
Today I have brought the SMN Forum up to date.
With all the extra modifications added to the forum over the last few weeks we thought it was time to make it look better. We have made the overall look and feel blend more with the rest of the site and changed around some graphics.
Please check it out and let us know what you think??

I have added in a new section to the forum.
Doll Shows and Events
I thought with all the dolls shows and events happening in Australia the around world it would be great to hear about them.
Post photos of your day/s out and be sure to write your thoughts.

We recently decided to make creating an account to shop at SMN optional and so far it has been a success. But I would love to here some feedback as to how you prefer to shop online. Do you prefer to have the option to checkout without signing up for an account? or do you find it's easier just to have an account? I have setup a poll at our forum and I would love to here so feedback.
We have been doing some upgrades to the forum today and I thought I might fill everybody in on some of the new features.

The forum has been open for a while now and thank you to those who have joined and wriiten posts. I have recently joined many other reborn doll forums and have had many good responces from them. I have also joined some that have been way to hard on the rules, having accounts frozen the same day as joining just because I have a website. I want to point out to reborn artists and collector that our forum is free and welcomes you to offer your Dolls and any other doll related products to others. Promote your website and ideas. SHARE, SHARE, SHARE – those are the rules for now……
I would like to let you all know about a post I read on a Reborn forum. It was in regards to Mohair Quality and Dying. Our Mohair we stock is graded by Microns and is tested objectively by laboratories using scientific equipment. The fibre is rarely stronger than 32 microns, with a large proportion of it being graded as kid fibre. ie under the critical 30 micron marker which divides Kid from Adult grades.
There are many different yarns for sale claiming to be Mohair or a Mohair blend. The discerning buyer needs to beware of yarn described in very vague or general terms. Mohair varies greatly in quality and fineness and is priced accordingly.
Super fine Kid will be most expensive, but something described simply as Mohair might be anything from Kid through to stronger fibre and much more likely to be at the stronger (cheaper end) of the fibre spectrum.
The best quality Kid Mohair should never be scratchy and should be soft and comfortable against the skin.
Don't be fooled into thinking that all mohair content in yarn is Kid Mohair and likewise resist the temptation to think that all Mohair is scratchy, based on a bad past experience.
Our supplier is pleased to say that over the past 20 years, the quality of Mohair world wide and Australian Mohair in particular has improved dramatically.
We hope that you have only enjoyable Mohair experiences from now on.
Our range of colours will increase and we will have 3 grades for you to choose from soon.
