Wishes for Christmas and New Year

This will be my last post for this year. Gosh when I look back it seems to have rushed by and here we are on the brink of stepping into another New Year. I probably won't be posting for a few weeks as I am away on holiday. If I get a chance then I might drop a note but until then you all take care and I wish each one of you A Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Je vous souhaite Joyeux Noël et une Bonne Année

Had to work on her

I had to have my fix of doll making for today. So I did some work on her. I had some paperclay left over from the last project and thought I might as well use it before it went hard. So this is what I did. Yep now I have to wait for it to dry which is the hard part as I want to keep working on her as ideas flow into my head LOL!

Eeeks!!

and eeeks it is. Sorry I was trying to write about this when my DH came and rushed me off the computer as we were going for a Carol Concert. I thought I would save it and write about it later but looks like instead I pressed the wrong key. Imagine my surprise when I saw Linda and Kai's comments LOL! Ok what I was going to say was I started this doll she is tiny from an inspiration I got from a Christmas decoration. However looks like great minds think alike and I found Helen has already done a doll similar to the one I was going to make. You can see it in Jan's blog. Anyway I will do her a bit differently but what am I to do with her face. I completely spoilt her face sculpting as you can see my stitches have gone a bit astray to say the least. I think now I am going to paint the whole face with gesso and try and cover the offending stitches.

Sparklers

Suddenly blogger is not letting me into any of the blogs. So while it sorts itself out. I thought I would show what I have been doing. I have been busy as everyone else trying to finish things before I go away for Christmas. I put up my Christmas tree but couldn't get my tree top to sit on top. Oh well she will be a table topper now. Also in between doing other things I have been having fun making these bracelets. Can't see the sparkles in them very well in the picture but they look nice (I think so)when they sparkle. Also finished making the cake and did lots of shopping. It seems never ending though!
