Yes, I know I missed the last one ! But it's always nice to leave the doll photo post up without putting on another to move it off the top.
The weathers been wonderful, warm sunny days all week ! Which has meant we have been spending time in the garden most days. Little gardening jobs are getting done here and there but also new plans made and actioned.
I have to confess most of the new plans tend to come down to me ! Poor Paul's working on one thing only for me to arrive ,watch what's going on and then suggest something else that could also be done in that area or with something that's been removed. That's now a small tweak of removing an old trellis panel and a vigorous plant from near the side gate, to be replaced with some stained glass and a new section of trellis became a removal of the two large stained glass windows and assorted trellis pieces from the other side of that area and a revamp which is waiting to be continued on Monday ( I said to Paul last year that he shouldn't carry jobs over into the weekend , now we are retired, so that he gets a weekend ) and so far it's only cost us the price of a wooden fence post.
Today's headliner is Hattie, wearing my one and only purchase, a dress by the amazing Ginny, of A Passion for Sasha on Etsy.
Just love the style and fabric of this shirtwaister dress. Hattie of course wanted a hat and the only suitable one needed adjustment. The brim was too big, so a little snipping and a new piece of lace and a couple of flowers and she was ready for her Mary Poppins impression.
I have finally stopped knitting hats for Sasha and used almost all of the remains of leftovers apart some about five colours that were just too grey and uninteresting for me to knit! Maybe I'll use them with other yarn when I start knitting different style hats in a month or three but for now I'm done knitting hats!
So now I'm making three Luna Lapin Rabbits! Two need to be made in time for Easter for my grandkids and the third is for me, of course :) So far I have cut out the paper pattern ! So tomorrow I must get going on them.
I've not sold anything since I've not been trying ! So no change there but I will at some stage need to get clearing things out again and also to decide once and for all am I moving up to Paul's old workshop !! I just cannot decide !
On that note I will wish you all a happy heathy week and month ahead
