Getting there ................



Well, my next Waldorf style doll is finished, BUT she's a little bit bare at the moment!! and so needs something nice to wear. She's thinking she would like some velvet dungarees (see beautiful cotton velvet draped to protect her modesty 😉) - mind you, sewing velvet ……….. ?? enough said! She I may yet have a change of mind 😄
We have the time though ………….. did I mention I'm now retired??!!
She needs a name too!

I've recently celebrated turning 60 (hence retirement) and thought you might enjoy seeing some of the balloons my darling!! eldest nephew organised for me ……… he does love a laugh (at my expense). I think they're brilliant! The 'Hip Hip Replacement' is referring to the knee replacement I had about 18 months ago. You can't get knee, knee replacement, because clearly that wouldn't be funny, so 'Hip' was the next best thing. I keep on trying to explain to this 33-year old nephew that he too will, one day, become old and decrepit 😄


So, I hope everyone is managing to keep well and safe and enjoying plenty of crafty time.

Brilliant to see you making good use of your retirement. Hope you are enjoying more time to craft x

I'm loving it Sue - I haven't been bored so far during lockdown, so retirement will be even better once we can all go out more and more to socialise properly. I always knew crafting is good and beneficial.
So far, I have bought one of those 'Prym' turning tools with my Amazon voucher - it'll be very useful for all sorts of things (such as thin rag doll legs) and has been on my wish list for a while, so thanks again :0)
Did you get tired of blogging? I know it can be a bit of a task at times - I decided to blog more as a record of lockdown and because clearly I have a lot more time now.
I hope you're both keeping well xxx

Do hope you managed to retire without having to go back into work as I know how much it was stressing you out. Welcome to retirement. Your second doll looks just like you!! Not done any more to my doll . Have been looking at face masks and finally after looking for weeks at all the options and videos have found a design that I am happy with. Have sorted material out and need to wash before cutting my pattern . The days are just melting into one another. Soon be June. Hugs Mrs A.
