Well weather wise it's not been too bad a week, sunshine and showers , and now finally dry ! The week has passed with just the usual things garden and house. However I decided I needed to make the dolls some socks. Gill kindly sent me some stretch jersey fabric and then that was as far as I got, after getting Petrana's sock and pants pattern. Finally after a persistent voice asking have I made any yet, I cut the fabric out to the correct size to make socks from.
So now I just need to start making them! I just they are not too hard to make !
The end of the month is now a busy time, with the garden open for the village open gardens and now our little Adam will finally having his open heart surgery the day after. which is naturally a worry but once it's done and he is recovering we will all be happy.
Now you would have read that I'm on the no doll buying wagon but had lost a wheel ! Well my wagon is now down to just one wheel ! and very nearly was down to none! But I may and probably will have to go on a three month no buying ban from July to September at this rate !
Today's headliners are three of the No Navels , Sienna , Martha and Ashley wearing the same style of dress by Ginny of A Passion for Sasha.
On the sales front, things have changed because of the doll buying. So I have had to search for a few things to sell to pay for the dolls I have bought , so a couple of Sasha dolls have had to go because a couple of others are arriving.
I fell off the wagon the second time for a Button nosed girl , only to fall off again for another one !! These days the button girls rarely come up for sale especially the ones with decent eyes. So this has meant not only dolls are up for sale but also some shoes and clothing.
Luckily I have had a few sales , including my lovely 68 Gregor Scott , who I had hoped to keep but if I spend I have to deal with the results, So he's gone to a new home and a few pairs of my Rosie blooms and some clothing. Which as been very helpful. I had been hoping to go quiet on the selling front for the summer and I am hoping it can still happen, even if it has to be slightly later.
So wishing you all a happy healthy week ahead
Dee
