THE LAST DAY OF 2019

Well it is the last day of the year 2019 and soon we'll be entering the next decade.

My year's been totally different to how I expected it to be in many ways but that's life for you, it does with you what it will.

I know Kendal, for one, will find this amazing but I have only bought two Sasha's this year! Yes just two!  Christian and Coco ! Both totally unexpected purchases but you all know that with one of these dolls, they only have to catch you in a weak moment and then suddenly you have a new member of the tribe!

However I have sold far more dolls this year than I have purchased which must be a record for me, at least! I have also sold on a lot of dolls clothes and other items, including furniture, which was no longer needed. But dispite all the sales the house and Sasha studio are still full to over flowing!

I had intended to get on and use some of my fabrics every month this year, but that was very hit and much more miss but at least I did not add more to the doll fabric although I cannot say the same about the furnishing fabric ! Having been inspired by all things William Morris and Arts and Crafts my furnishing stash, which was quite small, is now much bigger !

This last year, I feel, as been more of a paddling year! In so far as I have been just paddling along, in my canoe/boat, and stopping here and there before moving on to admire and see more. getting on with a few things before totally forgetting about any plans and going off on a tangent and starting something else!

If I had a school report it would read, must knuckle down and not daydream her life away! It's true.. but I do like a good day dream  :)

( Coco arriving in a whirl )



Although not many dolls have arrived , props have fallen over themselves to appear at the door! Remember that armada of boats that appeared for the Chat n Snap ! Then there's been all their scout and brownie uniforms , although I already had most of the brownies ones.

The Chat n Snap was a great day, with everyone enjoying meeting up and buying a Sasha or two! I am really looking forward to next years one with the forties railway station theme, which will require a lot of building work starting in spring to ensure it actually happens.
Let's hope I can stop myself buying half a dozen trains....

So I would like to thank everyone for stopping by and wish you all a Very Happy New Year and hope to see you again in 2020 ....where no doubt more plans will be made and ignored , while other things unplanned appear in their place ! It seems we go with the flow these days ...
