SUNDAY SO SOON

 

Well what a wet old week it's been here ! I am getting fed up of all this rain and grey sky. It would appear that the sun has lost that hat that it likes to put on and it's not coming out to play any time soon !

Some parts of the country are getting a months rain in a day on top of previous rain that's already soaked the ground. So not a good time for some people in area's where they get flooding. So a change to some nice cold but bright sunny days would be good for everyone.   

On Tuesday we had lunch with our friends and talk of decorating occurred that made me decide it was time, once back home, to get on with our bedroom before Spring arrives and Paul's back outside wanting to deal with the garden. So I finally took the photos of our large pine wardrobe and put it on ebay and much to my delight it was sold in a couple of hours and due to be collected on Monday.

So now it's going , next week I will order the parts for the fitted wardrobe that will take it's place and then the refitting and decorating of our bedroom will finally get underway. 

At last it seems everyone's waking back up from the aftermath of Christmas and the January slump, where we are all recovering from all the spending around Christmas and the sales, although they even they were said to be quite quiet this year.

so my knitting has turned into a jacket !

The finished jacket shown on a Roche doll. I'm pleased with how it turned out and will tweak the pattern to make a slightly altered style. The next thing to knit.

If you read yesterday's blog post , you will have seen that I almost sold one of my newer to me, no navel dolls. But I really didn't want to part with her, so pulled her off and found another way to get the doll I was after and did a swap with another doll, so sorted.

Today's headliner is a pot of Sasha babies from years back all of who were sold a long time back when I did a big cull of my babies and went down to just Elton Ron. However last year I went of a spending spree on , of all things, babies !! Going from one to double figures in no time.

Naturally once I had all those babies I was wondering if I'd been hit on the head ! So I did sell a few off to reduce them down to a more reasonable figure.

So on the sales front, I have sold a wardrobe plus two dolls, one big Sasha and one baby. These two dolls were sales towards my small layaway of a Sasha.  Finally I can have a rest from selling until the spring when I can go look out all the props etc that I could really sell as they are not being used. Which would give me some space and some doll money for the summer.

I don't know how many of you are still selling on ebay but I am constantly finding people making offers on dolls that are not only a big drop but they include me 'paying the buyers insurance! So I'd get even less ! When I put items on to sell I usually have dropped the price already by taking into account how much the overall price will be once they have added the 'buyer's Insurance ' which means when people come along and want a doll for next to nothing and want me to pay the buyers insurance on top , I get mightily annoyed. 

Well that's me moan for the month and with that I will wish you all a lovely healthy fun filled week ahead.
