DAY THREE OF THE . . . . .

 

Heatwave !!! Now I know everyone living in deserts and other hot places all over the world, is looking at the UK and thinking WHAT ! It's barely warm !

But you have to realise what to you is barely warm, to us is one step away from being in a furnace ! WE don't do well in heat or for that matter in the cold. We are an Island of people who like it just right, neither hot nor cold but somewhere in the middle with a small breeze.

So the above girl arrived at the start of this heatwave, so only a couple of quick photo's were taken once I'd dressed her, due to just how hot it is outside !

Just after I bought her, this dress, which I'd previously owned, came up for sale, so I snapped it up for her and it gave me her name , Poppy.

So Poppy, another unexpected purchase, a 1969 lass , arrived and is settling in as best she can in this heat ! 

I'd like to say she was or will be the last but we all know that's very unlikely. I think we have another day of hot temperatures before some rain arrives and the normal June weather totals arrive.

I may have to move further north to escape the heat , if this is going to carry on each year !!  

ANOTHER SUNNY SUNDAY !!

 

So yes it's another sunny Sunday in the UK, I know almost unheard of for a British summer ! Plus they are saying it will continue to be HOT and sunny for the coming week ! 

Since we are opening the garden along with others in the village next Sunday I am hoping that the temperature will at least have dropped quite a bit by then ! 

The week has whizzed past and not much apart from pulling up weeds here and there and talking garden as been happening. The socks are still waiting to be made but I did finally buy the correct needle for the stretchy fabric, so maybe , just maybe, some could get made this week while I hid from the sun!

I have to make a cushion cover for one of the bench cushions in the garden, so the sewing machine will be in place, so there is every chance something sock could happen !!

Now I cannot remember just how much I confessed to over the last week but here goes. .  .

Today's headliner is Linnet. A pretty brunette button who was on a short layaway and who arrived Saturday.

Reba, the redheaded button , was an unexpected buy between me finishing Linnet and her arriving . 

Which means the button nosed children have grown by three since the end of May ! All totally unexpected but wonderful additions none the less.

I have to confess I love seeing Steve , at Gregoropolis's , two brunette buttons, Lottie and Lulu when they appear, so now unexpectedly having two myself , I'm so happy. The first girl I called Calico Cate but now I am going to rename her as she's got her twin Linnet, so will try and find a name to suit.

Now on the doll front, well you can see the selling of dols and bits and piece's as gone right off the scale, no buying wagon, no longer has any wheel's and is on the way to the junkyard ! 

What's that I hear you say  ? There are four wheels on a wagon. . . . . that is true. . . So there was Heidi Hybrid , the baby who arrived and then Reba  the re rooted button redhead and now Linnet, the brunette button , m m mm m m mm that's three , oh yes and then there is Poppy . . . . . . . but she's not arriving until Monday. . . .. . So as I said no wheels left on that wagon !   

I have sold a few items of clothes etc , so as much as the dolls seem to be multiplying  ! Their available clothing and other items are going down ! 

Oh! Do wagon's have spare wheels?  Just asking for a friend. . . . .

And on that note I will wish you all a very happy healthy week ahead
