Table Mess

What a mess! I should clear it all but need to just do a bit more. Drawing patterns are so tedious I prefer to make them and embellish them.

Snowing again

 
It started snowing this morning again today and I couldn't resist taking some pictures this one I quickly took from my car. I know I know I shouldn't do things like that but there were no other vehicles on the road and I was crawling
 

This was in our neighbourhood
 
And this lamp I thought looked really pretty glowing through falling snow

The snow is slowly stopping now but you know what will happen, in the night it will freeze and make the roads treacherous tomorrow. Watch out everyone in Scotland and in the north of the country this snow is coming your way now.

He is done at last!

"The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice....."




Well I do hope he looks languid and sleepy enough. I made only 2 sets of hands and was dammed if I was going to make anymore tiny hands lol!  I made him for a challenge but couldn't finish it in time because of my husband's health issues.
I guess now I have to make an Alice to go with it. She will have to be pretty small hmmm....

Hope you all have kept well. I will try and catch up with you all slowly. I have missed visiting your blogs but I shall get there eventually. Thanks you  all for supporting me through the past year and hope you will hang around here even though my posts are a bit sporadic at the moment.

Every year for every Christmas come what may I always make a Christmas doll. This year thought I would make Sherry Goshan's new sew doll for Christmas and this is my rendition of her class doll.
 
I may not be able to get on the computer much as my husband is going into hospital for surgery so if you don't hear from me much you know why. Hope everyone's festive preparations are going well. I did some decorating as I know I won't have much time later.  This year I decided for the first time to have a real Christmas tree as well so decorated two trees. Amazing that I had so many decorations that it was enough for 2 trees infact I could have decorated another tree with my decorations. I am a Christmas decoration addict lol. Every year I like to browse through shops and if I find anything I like and unusual I buy. So all these decorations are collected over the years. Some you can't get anymore. I also keep little bits that fall off or get broken from the decorations and use them on my dolls. This doll has most of its embellishments from bits that fell off other decoration pieces.
Well I will pop back to wish you all but in the mean time take care and enjoy the festive season.
Here are my 2 trees the first one is the artificial one and the second is the real one

Ornament Swap

I made this ornament for a swap. As you can see I made this little dwelling place for my cuties so that they could travel in style in first class comfort to Sue's house. They have arrived safe and sound just in time for thanksgiving.

Hmmm to show or not to show.

 
This is Neel Kamal. She  was made for the Gypsy Challenge but in the end I decided not to enter her as she is not really that great. I wanted her to look a bit different but it didn't work out. Oh well you win some and you loose some.
