BUTTONING UP FOR SUNDAY

 

Sunday so soon! And a chilly one at that. It is definitely winter now , that old sun only getting through now and then to brighten up the day if we are lucky. Morning's of misty grey invade the country.

Even though it's been quite bitterly cold by the afternoon, I do like that we have seasons, and wrapping up against the cold then returning home to warm up is lovely. 

We, as in the royal we, ie: Paul, have been pottering in the garden, replacing a trellis for a fence panel and making one to fit an odd sized space.

Looking very cold and bleak but come some warmer weather we'll give it a proper makeover. But for now the bones are there. 

At this time of year we also discuss what needs doing and what we'd like to get done over the coming year, some things will happen, some things will change and some things will be forgotten or decided against. I am a list maker and love nothing more than finding a list years later and making off things that were done long after the list was made . 

I need to get the tenth and last Chat n Snap underway. Hopefully we'll get a nice take up to finish the event off.

Paul will have a few things to make for this one, so once the warmer weather arrives, I'll need to remind him to get cracking! He'll need most of the year to get things done.

Arabella, Beatrice, Saskia and Magda, my button nosed girls together .

On the doll front, I have sold two dolls and bought two small dolls ! I know, but one was a doll for the dolls and cost £7. So not bad.

The problem I seem to be fighting against at the moment is buying fabric!! Yes she who owns loads of fabric and did last year sell loads of fabric to reduce her stash , is buying more!! The problem is I was looking for a certain weight of fabric and got side tracked as I searched ! 

Now providing I use this fabric when it arrives and it doesn't go the way of most things and go on a back burner, then it was fine but if it lands up being moved around the downstairs rooms until it lands up in a box which then lands up in the studio and not seen again for a couple of years , that will not be good.

So once I have finished this post, I will be going off to make a pattern, so this fabric gets used and not left about!

And on that note I'd best finish or no doubt I'll get side tracked  . . . again

Have a lovely healthy warm week ahead
