Well another week has whizzed by ! With the end of it being very rainy! We had quite a dry summer and now it seems that the rain is finally arriving but we are getting, in some places, a months rain in one day ! So across the country there is some flooding, awful to deal anyway but probably worse with when the weather is getting colder .
Today is the little prince's birthday ! Adam is five !!! where did the time go ? only seems like yesterday he was starting to walk and now he's at school and full of fun. Somehow when he was born and had the early check ups, they missed that he has a heart condition, which will require him having open heart surgery in the new year, it should have been picked up sooner but at least it's known now and can be delt with before it becomes an issue.
He's even been along to the hospital, so the student's could listen to his heart to help in their training !
We visited them last Sunday and left his birthday present ready for the big day !
Paul's been working on making me a car for my Roche dolls, the smaller ones. He enjoyed making the display playground , so I decided to get in quick with a few other requests !
I used to have a flickr account that I paid for but I stopped a year or two back when it became way too expensive, since I no longer really used it. Well it turns out they then want you to reduce your photos down to under 1000, which is the free allowance. If you don't sort it out they will just go in and delete them !! So over a few nights on and off I have been deleting photos along with saving some.
It was wonderful seeing lots of photos of my older dolls, quite a few long gone now ! Like the three above and now when I look back , I wonder what I was thinking ! Probably sold to fund another doll who is also long gone and I should have been more selective and less attracted to a pretty face !
I know I know !!
Well naturally now I have been seeing what I have given up and so plan to slowly add a few back.
So expect a few new family members to be appearing over the coming months and years. Mind you unlike when I first started collecting, there are some dolls that rarely appear and when they do, they are usually snapped up before I even get a chance to see them never mind bid or buy them !
Today's headliners are the wonderous Magda and Arabella ( Arabella who did leave once but returned )
They are dressed in nice warm clothes for the winter. I have managed to change most of the girls but the boys do still shiver in their shorts !!
So a job to be getting on with !
I also decided I wanted to make a crocheted blanket for the back of the new sofa. Naturally I didn't have the colours I needed despite my couple of boxes of yarn ! So landed up ordering some but also buying some of my sister Michelle's doubles !
I was going with a pink, blue and green palate but being me have wandered into a multi coloured palate ! Above is my stash from Michelle.
While I was waiting on Michelle's yarn arriving, my yarn from an online seller ,arrived so I started making the granny squares,
Once Michelle's yarn arrived I finished the squares off with some deep green. My plan is all squares will be finished in either a green or a blue, then the whole thing once pieced together will be edged in a kingfisher blue to finish off. This will hopefully keep me off the internet of an evening and therefore stop me spending !!!
On the doll front . . . . . . . . . . . . well it's quiet due to Christmas just being over the hill but I have sold a few pieces of clothing but there could be a few new villagers on the way . . . . blame flickr !!! I will ;)
The weather today is much colder but at least here the rains stopped for now
I wish you all a happy healthy warm week ahead
