A SUNNY SEPTEMBER SUNDAY

 

Well we are now in the lovely months of autumn. I do love autumn, the days can be warm and bright along with cooling nights. So we are much more comfortable, doing more in the days because it's not too hot and it's cool at night so you can get to sleep. Then you have the lovely changing of the colours of the trees and plants.

The house is in a making phase ! Paul's been working on the playground items for the Chat n Snap display. I think it's sparked a fire in him as he's been working his way through the list of items needed and there are now six wonderful items made ! Now to say this is amazing, is because in the normal state of our up coming Chat n Snaps, apart from the very first one, we have usually had a mad dash to getting tings done up to and including evening before! Where as this year , we could at a push, lay out the display tomorrow ! 

So it's wonderful that we'll this year, actually just be waiting for the day to arrive come October with just the food etc to sort last thing.

Also since I have now got a new up to date sewing machine, I have been making things , slowly getting used to it.

I have been doing some patchwork doll quilts, a great way to get used to the new machine.

I have been using up some scraps of fabric which Michelle sent me because I have not really made much, so don't really have much in the way of scraps at the moment. Plus I am someone who just cannot waste fabric  It take's me ages to actually use fabric that's lovely lol, mt fabric's almost become a collection in their own right!

But I have also been making some clothes for my Roche dolls and will be starting on some for the Sasha's too. So finally I am actually using up some of my fabric which can only be a good thing but as usual I am scrabbling about to find where I have put things which I now need for my sewing projects.

Saffy is today's headliner, wearing a great pair of Sarah Williams Vintage Sasha dungarees. Come back Sarah ! We need you fabulous clothes for our dolls! 

On the doll front a couple have gone along with a teddy bear, so slowly making a dent, well if you don't count all those Sasha's that have sneaked in while I have been busy selling ! 

So on that note /confession I will wish you all a happy healthy month ahead.

IT'S THE FIFTH SO DOLL PHOTO DAY

 Already the ninth month of the year !!! So we'd best get this post on the road. . . . 

Down in Broxbourne Gill's girls are complaining that they hardly get any photo time ! So she's 

making up for it by sending their photo in for doll photo day, I think she's earned some brownie points ! 

Meanwhile up north the girls are out canvassing for Norman, They say he will be the best one for the job ! With his fierce belief and being just like a dog with a bone !

Oh It appears Norman is a dog with a . . . .  . cardboard tube ! It appears he wants to get on the gravy train. . . down to Hove and have a lovely pad by the sea front. .  . 

Cilla is welcoming Kyra to the village and saying she'll soon get used to it. Cilla says she's not been here that long herself although she had been waiting a while for mum to complete her adoption.

Over the pond in Gregoropolis, Daphne, Ginger and Jessica are deep in conversation as to whether it's time to complete change into something warmer or just search out a nice cardigan. So far it's a three way split ! Daphne is all for just adding a cardigan, Ginger thinks they have a few more weeks yet until they need to change and Jessica wants to go search for the full autumn outfit. I can see this conversation won't be ending anytime soon !

Many thanks to all those sending in their photos. There is still time to have yours added.

Have a happy healthy doll filled month ahead.
