Dear Deer doll finished

 So here is my Dear Deer Doll . I did this class in a virtual doll conference which was organised by Adele and Leslie. The conference was called The Art Summit. I enjoyed it very much. Hope you like her.

I have been busy

 After my back surgery I had some time. So decided to join in the ArtSummit organised by Adele and Leslie . It was a virtual conference with lots going on for 3 days. I took a class with Colleen Who taught us her Dear Deer doll in paperclay.

Paperclay I find is not easy to work with especially when the doll is only 10 inch tall. Anyway this is how far I have got to after a few mishaps along the way. Now that I am nearing the clothing bit I had a fabric in mind which I had bought when I went to India last. I have spent the whole morning morning trying to find this fabric and I have not been able to find it. The elves have well and truly hid this.😄. Does this happen to you too?

Little Progress

 

It has been slow progress with these two. I have been suffering from backache so haven’t been able to do things. Got myself scanned and they said I needed an operation. So this picture was taken before I went for my surgery. Sorry the picture is not great. Had my operation yesterday. Today feeling a bit better but was getting bored so thought of updating the blog while I am in the hospital. Nothing else to do. Hopefully tomorrow I will get discharged.

But have to take things easy for sometime after that. Hope you all are well and safe and taking care of yourselves.

After a long time

 Well it has been a long time and so much has changed in our world. I am still around although I don’t know if anyone is going to read my post. Hope everyone is well and safe. Last year sped by so quickly. I was most of the time looking after hubby. Due to his medical condition he was falling ill frequently. We had to cancel our big summer holiday that we had planned. We didn’t know if we would be able to celebrate Christmas and go and see mum etc. Anyway end of the year things started looking up. We stared to plan again for our big holiday and planned for my friend to come visiting. Plus we went to see my mum in India. It was then that everything started going wrong in the world. We just managed to get back and went straight into isolation. 5 months in isolation has taken a toll as well. All my physical activities reduced even though I kept moving about in the house it did not help. Infact it now looks that all that frantic household activities I got busy with have taken a toll on my back. Have been suffering with back pain and at times barely move about. Now that we can go out I have to be careful how much I walk as my back can’t stand it.

So my creative side has been at a standstill. This is a project I started last year and I still have not got round to finishing it. Hope you all have not been like me

Take care and stay safe

Back down to earth

All the Christmas decorations are back in their boxes everything put away. Just the dolls left on the stool to be put away tomorrow. I feel always a bit sad when I have to take down the decorations. But another year will breeze past us again I am sure.

Sorry for the late wishes

I have been so tardy not getting round to wishing you all for Christmas but let me at least wish you all a very Happy New Year. I was very busy dealing with lots of things before Christmas and I have to say most of it was good things. One of them was my husband’s health improved a lot and many of his health issues were resolved I hope for now.  Anyway I hope you all have been well and had a good holiday season.

I have even started on a doll although I think I am bit out of touch after all this time. I don’t really like the face of the doll but I carried on making it. I may end up making another one hopefully that would be a bit better than this one. Here is a picture of my dip what do you think?

The doll is supposed to be a toadstool doll. Had a hard time creating the toadstool head.

Just a leaf

Found a few minutes to relax so thought why not do a blog post. I found a lovely looking leaf this morning and I seemed to have lost that picture some how 😄 but here it is the painted one. I used Inktense pencils for this

It has been so long!

Hello all , it has been a while since i posted here. I am so sorry, my husband got very ill and now is waiting for a major operation. We think it might take place in December.  So I have been very busy taking care of him hence not visited any blogs. . Just thought i would drop in  and let you all know why I am silent for now.

Everything stops for Mama and the kids

Today while driving down the motorway there was a warning sign saying to slow down animals crossing. I drove a few miles and was expecting to see some sheep or cows or horse or a dog but suddenly all traffic stopped and this is what I saw. I couldn’t get a proper picture as another car was in front of me but just managed as they crossed before the traffic started moving. They looked so cute. 

New visitor

Well lets see if this works! I have been trying all sorts of things to get my blog sorted out. I think it might be aApple related as when I tried from the desk top things worked. I have managed to delete my doll club blogs that were linked to my account as we don’t use it and we have moved to FB.

I have been able to post this video of this cute little fellow that has been visiting us lately. I am only hoping he won’t bring his whole family once he grows up😄.
