Well we have gone back to sunshine and showers in the last few days! and those showers have been heavy or lasted most of the day. But when the sun does manage to get through, it's lovely and warm even hot at times.
Here it's been all about the shed! No not the big workshop soon to be studio shed, but the small garden tool shed, that's sat at the side of the patio since shortly after we got here and installed it. Now we are giving Paul's workshop over to me, we needed a slightly bigger shed for the garden tools. So being us we ordered one, no ideas about waiting till we'd finished sorting out the other shed and would have time. No we ordered it and it arrived a couple of weeks later. Paul gave it a coat of stain/protection and then he emptied the garden shed, small, and put together the new one in it's place.
Now the old small narrow shed, so still in a decent condition having been looked after over the years and pretty much sheltered under the wooden slates at the side. And in this day of don't just throw it out! So I suggested using it up by the back gate to keep all the big garden pots in, when not in use. So that meant it's now been standing out on the patio, and will also mean clearing the area were it will go! So that's meant a week at least lost from sorting out the workshop! and still another day to sort out this small shed moving ! But we will get there....
Now you may remember I said I had swapped a doll from my Roche collection for another? Well here she is. Paul took me to South Mimms Services , to meet up with my friends SiL and for him to hand over the doll. Saving her going into the post which is always a big risk with a doll that's got china parts.
I'm so happy to have this girl in my Roche doll collection. Wonder of wonders I've even been hand sewing clothes for the Roche, they are hard to find clothes for, have differing sized feet, a smaller doll may have bigger feet than a larger one!
Now on the doll/ props moving on front I have sold five non Sasha dolls! A good result they went quite quick. I may put a few more on, then I'm going to stop selling and have a break, while I sort out the moving of everything from the studio and workshop.
I'm also going to have a blogcation from now until the 1st of August , which will hopefully help things get moved along. So have a lovely happy healthy month ahead
