A SUNNY SUNDAY

 

Well the days seem to be rushing past ! The world goes from good to bad and back again , on a daily basis ! But at least we can push that aside and enjoy our dolls.

I've been carrying on with my sewing. However now I have loads of piles of fabric, pins, scissors, half made dolls bed quilts sitting about on the kitchen table! 

I have finished quite a few items, even having to unpick and resew three pinafore dresses that went slightly wrong. But I am enjoying having a sewing machine that's working just fine and is easier to use.

I am having tussles with the press studs, it seems half the ones you buy have faults and you cannot get a needle through one of the holes or have to fight to get them to snap together, which stops a lovely relaxing finishing of an item into a stressful time.

The items for the chat n snap are now mainly all finished and just waiting for the day to arrive, which is another thing heading rapidly towards us. Lovely Sasha friends are sending items for the raffle already, so already we have a box of goodies slowly growing, we always have lots donated on the day by all the people who attend.

Today's headliner is Cilla, who is wearing a beautiful and beautifully made pinafore dress set by Petrana, whose pattern I have been using to make my pinafores from. 

On the doll front, things are moving along, I have done a part exchange on my last Schoenhut doll for a baby Sasha and cash. So not really one out because one, although much smaller , is coming in ! 

I have bought a few t shirts off Ginny, who has a sale on and also an outfit for one of my many babies , who have suddenly filled the place.

I just had to buy this when I saw the beautiful Christmas fabric blouse, Ruth had made to go with the rich red cord dungarees.

So baby Rebel Ronnie is now already for Christmas, so one down and . . ...  . many more to go !!

Well we are off next week for a small holiday, Lindsey will be home looking after the dogs, while Paul and I, get to visit the isle of wight and also get to attend a small doll meet up with some good friends.

I will wish you all a lovely happy healthy doll filled week ahead.
