Thought i would post some pics of past dolls. They are from the grandmother and grandchild series that I quite often find myself drawn back to from time to time.....i think its just such an emotional and magical bond.

Inspired from the tale of the Little matchstick girl . Feb 2008

Tudor servants - grandmother and grandchild. Feb 2009

Herman

Well heres my W.i.p of Herman. Hes had his first lick of paint but needs a few finishing touches :O)
I am working on a jacket for him at the moment.....I have only really made females before so its a bit of a challenge actually dressing a male....esp one with such 80s sized shoulders:O)
Anyway heres his pic......

I found out i recieved another award from Julie over the weekend.......many thanx ...blushing and feeling very humbled. Well along with Debies i now have lots of nice things i can choose:O)
My daughter moved out yesterday and its very empty and echos in her room now...Feel very sad standing there starring at the couple of boxes that remain.......I know shes not far away but it kind of brings it home to you they have left home.
Sorry about no new pics....What with decorating and the move, theres so much dust flying around , if i got the clay out i would end up sculpting a hairy fairy....:O)

Awards

In the last couple of days of have recieved two more awards , i really im so flattered that people have thought about me and sent them my way.

The first one was sent from my dear friend Julie from Bellabelle dolls

and the second was from my new friend Debie from Piskies and poppets.

I will pass along Julies in a few days after a wee think and then have a good think about my fave things for one from Debie...theres such a lot of nice people and things to choose from. Work wise I have finished my second 24th witch but im not too happy with her.........do you ever look at a doll and theres something missing......well this one has just that feel to her! I have a few ideas to play around with but she at least has some hair now.....poor thing had been very bald for a long time....bless:O) Talking of getting things finished i have neglected poor ole Herman.....i need a sound telling off and nudge to get motivated i think. Will deff have to sit myself down and get his limbs finished and attached.

Wendies gift

I want to thank Wendie for my first award....it was such a lovely suprise and felt a bit choked when i read why she gave it too me...thank you soo much Wendiexxx
Not sure how this works so i have snaffled the writing from Wendies blog and it goes like this:
This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!”So I now have to pick eight bloggers to pass this onto. The trick is trying to pick someone who hasn't been awarded that same thing
