Milo my new Wobbler

 I’ve had my head down working to get things done for the Sasha meet up soon , but in between sewing and painting , something has been on my mind and when I get like that I have to do it , it’s taken days and lots of lumps of apoxy sculpt laying about , and there is paint everywhere.. thank God for silicon gloves ,  but I’m happy with the overall results , this is Milo , not Max , the scruffy little broken baby who I have been working on , he has the most beautiful hair , so much to Carrot and Sprouts joy , he is staying blond . He’s been wobbled using apoxy sculpt stained , I used gouache, which has a really strong pigment , once the apoxy had dried the paint is fixed  his legs cut , as I straighten them , then I rammed the gap solid with tin foil , next time I do it I will take photographs , and his neck slight lengthened also with apoxy . 

The girls are a bit miffed because they are still outnumbered 

But I have promised them both another girl will join them 

Now Carrot and Sprout are both demanding new legs so they can be tall too and so has Moms visiting little girl , eventually I will do them all . 

I’ve also had my suspicions confirmed one leg is indeed longer than the other so I have put a lift in his shorter legs shoe so he can stand 

He’s such a handsome little fellow, mos

 It’s been a busy relaxing few weeks , can’t believe it’s October , nights are drawing in and in the evening I sit and sew whilst watching Sister Boniface and Father Brown , overjoyed to have a new Shakespeare and Hathaway

Baby Beans 🩷

 I loved my Baby Beans when I was little …I remember vividly taking her on holiday and sleeping with her …I was never into baby dolls …but loved her , 

I have no idea what happened to her …lost on one of my house moves I suspect …which is a shame …I was always do careful of my childhood favourites ..but she is long gone … so when I saw this little waif …who was the spitting image of my old BB ..I had to rescue her 

Poo thing had been loved , she had obviously lost her beans and had been repaired …so after a bath ….I carefully repaired her feet , replaced her stuffing with kapock , and new beans …I could remember how she felt ..and how she cuddled …then I made her a tunic and new hat to match her new feet , carefully covered her holes , and replaced her hair …it was half gone ..and I was sure my girl had paler hair ..although this hair was very dirty and discoloured 

…I’m so happy with BB …she sits by my bed now ….and I do love her , she brings back so many memories 

Little Madeleine arrived

 I wanted a beautiful old red haired Gotz Sasha …couldn’t resist this girl when she arrived 

Mom has been busy creating these amazing hand painted outfits 

Amd I’ve been busy with a new shoe ….so suddenly I’m in August ..got to get a wiggle on if I want new shoes for October Sasha gathering

 Not sure where the time is going but I felt like I’d missed my Sasha this month , I have those gorgeous dungarees off Mom but haven’t had the time to make the shirts … so this week I tried to make some time … and at last I’ve got them done ! 

I’ve just got to do shoes so I can photograph them ! 

Today I plan to finish my Baby  beans …make that Wobbler ! And then sort out the leather for new shoes 

But here is Violet .. fitting in beautiful now with the rest of the crew
