HEATWAVE NUMBER THREE !

 

That is correct the UK is having it's third heat wave within as many weeks ! Unheard of ! Naturally it's all down to global warming ! But whatever the cause it's just too hot to do anything after about ten thirty in the morning until about ten at night!

Hence the reason I have cheated and used one of the photo's I took of the Button girls. 

Adam came home from hospital on the Friday, so a two week stay landed up being just five days including the op day ! He is doing really well, back to eating properly and getting more active but of course carefully, while his ribs and heart etc recover. Well he should have still been in this week and guess who arrived to open his ward and visit with the patients  on Monday ?. . . . . . . . Princess Catherine ! But he missed it! He'd already left . I'm sure she was only going in order to meet him but she was just too late. ;) 

I managed to finish making some socks for the dolls, even in the heat.

I managed to make 34 pairs out of the fabric Gill kindly gave me. 

So I will be selling a couple of sets and I intend to makes some in pale colours and also white.

Now I will be having a long break from the blog for the next six weeks while this weather is hot and I catch up on a few things. Please send in photos for the Fifth of August doll photo day post which I will put on. I'll be back on the 18th August to start blogging again , with hopefully lots to tell you about. 

Have a lovely summer

IT'S THE FIFTH SO IT'S DOLL PHOTO DAY

 Yes it's that time of the month and starting the second half of the year, so lets get started..

From Jenni in Wales we have her boy Elijah , a very handsome lad who needed eye surgery by the famous surgeon Ms Shelly Baxter. Now he can see perfectly.

From the cold north we have Tatum and Hopeless with their dog Scatter , the whole house of Sasha's there have attitude even the dogs!

When they are like this , you just know they are planning some mischief , the poor neighbours 

From Gill we have a gorgeous line up of some of her blondes, looking ready for those summer days of fun and adventures.

Over the pond Steve's girls,  Meredith and Midori and enjoying their new Ginny dresses and don't they both look gorgeous 

while the boys, Dennis Demetri and Dan Ryan are wearing the red white and blue for the 4th of July celebrations, they are only slightly disappointed not to have been invited to Travis and Taylor's wedding ! They would have enjoyed some cake and then shaking it off but alas they'll just make do with some fireworks and burgers.

Here in the village a few of the brunette's wanted their photo taken together , Calico , Linnet, Claudia, Sapphire and Violet were very good standing together.

While when the buttons got together for a photo, Arabella insisted she had to be front and centre ! To ensure this happened she threw herself backwards twice ! So Reba had to give up her middle spot for the diva of the family ! So from the left we have Reba, Magda, Arabella, Linnet and Calico Cate.

Here we have Laura IOW, Mira and Laura Herts enjoying some paddling . They are 17 inch Roche dolls and the photo was put together by a friend using an AI app. 

It's amazing what can be done, the app as put them into the water , holding their shoes and added some matching hats to the centre and right hand doll. Very clever tool, especially if you don not have the space indoors or out for setting up scenes. The only thing I would say is it can make the faces more real than they are.

Thank you to everyone taking part and sending in their photos. Still time to have one added, just send it in
