Camera getting repaired

The camera is away getting repaired so here is a chance to browse through a whole lot of old photos that no-one ever sees
this was a charity shop find last year, in need of repair, sensational fabrics all lovingly sewn together
faded and worn - I think I might use it in the treehouse?
Now that Art Tour Open Studios is fast approaching I am thinking of making some of these -
this was Cala's birthday present - I know she looks a little wild, but I had such fun making her and all her kit. she has silk knickers too, and chocolate in her bag! Geoff says she looks like she's sucking on a large sweet - I say .. wonky is good.
But so time consuming! (do you love her leopard skin leggins!?)
I may have to concentrate on finishing some of the half made things I have lying around
this felt is destined to be the cover of a journal or maybe not?

other things I can think of

• felt necklaces are waiting for their final stages
• There is a stack of fabric waiting to be turned into shopping bags when I am in the mood
• last year the paper packets were fun so more of those to make
• more envelopes

this was rather fun to make, but impossible to have in stock! Orders?

Also, I am loving my paper projects at present
there are some Magpie Jars waiting to be filled, some kits for small people to put together and all those other things that are sitting in piles waiting for attention.
AND AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH
the garden is growing like crazy and we haven't even got our potatoes in yet!
SO what am I doing sitting here at the computer?
see you later

The doll is great, and reminds me a little of my mum!

Oh yes - wonky is so good. Personally I love her hair. Fab stuff.
The quilt is gorgeous. Lucky you for finding that little treasure.

I am not normally a doll appreciator, but I love, love, love this one. She took me by surprise by really speaking to me--thank you for sharing her!

Hooray to new envelopes! They are so charming!

I am about to finish new felt/knit bags for Etsy. Stay tuned.

Hi it's me, gillie the mad woman on the bread course. I love your blog and think that wonky is very good on dolls. No wonky = no interesting character quirks! But what is the paper project? I am loving those piles of thick lined paper and buff covers.

BTW I described you to my daughters this afternoon and they said "oh, wierd - just like you!!"
