AVA'S PROGRESS REPORT!

Well I dipped or should say placed Ava's torso in boiling water for a few seconds and it removed the caving a treat!



and here it is looking all full and upright!


I tied the string to the leg holes so that I could put it in and out of the boiling water easily .



some re rooting at the front but I am deciding if I should remove all the shorter cut lengths or root between ?



A little peek at her face...

    How clever are YOU then? Ava''s looking really lovely with her newly re-rooted front row fringe.

    Ava looks a little glum, poor girl! I love the way you perch the girs' heads in a mug - they look like boiled eggs waiting to be eaten by somebody who doesn't mind a bit of hair in their protein!

    You've made a great job of re-rooting her, a great colour match as well as a neat job.

    How did you find the reassembly after you finished last time? Did you restring or just use the existing cord? I suppose Ava will need new, slightly longer cord, to avoid her torso buckling again.

    You'll soon be out of the Village Clinic and restored to your early glory, Ava!

      Glum! She looks shy! Not sure about being seen without the rest of her!!
      I musy say I did buy another colour brown not being sure this colour was best but then of course decided to go with this my first choice!! Chocolate brown!
      I used the existing cord last time as it looked new and it was reasonably easy only a little struggle. But Ava's string is no good and too tight , so I am going to try restringing the English way.
      Hopefully she'll be back to her former self by tomorrow evening!

      You are so brave! I'm cowardly when it comes to operationg on Sashas, though I was restringing my own babies by the time I was 6 or so - it was so much in easier in the days of hooks and elastic bands begged from the postman!

      As to Ave feeling shy about being seen without the rest of her - it's the rest of me that I try to hide.. could I stand my head in one of your mugs and dispose of the less than eligant torso, please?

      I used to be worried about operating on Sasha's but it's a little like riding a bike once you do it you are happier doing it again!
      You could try standing your head in a mug but it would be a right performance when you wanted to move about!! :)

    Big hugs Sharon xx
