IT'S SUNDAY AND IT'S HOT!

Yes after the day by day  week of building rain, with Wednesday being wet all day, the end of the week as slowly dried up day by day until today's glorious weather.

Last night I got up to see the meteor shower that were travelling across the night sky, I saw a couple of slight ones, my daughter who spent much longer outside than me saw quite a few!

There is something magic about watching the night sky. We are lucky being in a village we did not have the problem of street or road lighting that people have in towns around London and the M25.

I keep intending to buy a telescope and really must get round to it  or until I do  I'll probably need a wooden lounger to lay on , makes it easier on the neck when looking up at the stars for long periods.

You have seen most of my haul of doll props I have acquired lately , the present sasha studio is looking quite full!

But there's still space to squeeze a few more things in! not in danger of getting buried under an avalanche yet ! So onwards and UPwards :)

My new No Navel girl should be with me by the end of the month and my yellow eyed miss should arrive not long after!

I'm still trying to be hard and sell on some things and am think seriously about if any of my many styles of dolls should be put up for adoption ! At present despite having two large doll display cupboards there are thirteen dolls laying or sitting about the downstairs rooms making the place untidy but pretty! ;) So once I finish this post , I'll be having a change around in the cupboards to try and get more in ! or just to also put some back!
The doll clothes cupboard is not much better ! it's under the stairs and I still have a few bags sitting around with no home!

I have to move so much just to get to find , hopefully , what I'm looking for!  Sometimes part of me wants to go ENOUGH! sell it ALL!
and then I look at whats in a box and think oh that's so nice or she's no longer making things/is now too expensive etc and so 99% gets put back !

I think I may need to reduce some of my non Sasha dolls, just settle on a couple of groups and cull the rest keeping maybe , three of each.... sounds so easy when you type it....... but I beginning to think that way!

Mind you I have done this on the odd occasion and then another different set of dolls move in and bring their friends!

Paul's worked really hard in the garden today laying the foundations for the folly.

Milo's found himself a spot in the late afternoon sunshine.

Looks like Paul as too!

I'll let him off since he's finished the foundation for the folly.

Now to give them a week to harden and then building can begin!!! Like all good design's it's being tweaked as we go. The arrow slit window in the shape of a cross is now going in a different place that first thought. But then we've not started building yet, so it could all change!!

a photo to show the sun streaming through the garden.

 and to finish we have a photo of Maude amongst the flowers.

She's standing in the chimney pot! But she does look sweet!


Well I hope everyone enjoys the week ahead and you all get some time to 'play' with your dolls.
