Balancing days with family and friends
I forgot how organised you had to be 🤣
But I’m painting and cutting out by day , sewing by night whilst streaming old Midsummer Murders , Death in Paradise and nothing else that takes my fancy
Doing some felt shoes and I’m really enjoying them
And some dolls and tiny knits to decorate my sales tables
Painting by day and embroidery by night is so satisfying,
I finally got my domain name again
That means all my available work I shall add to that

Coming soon pocket size cuddles ❤️
One of the hardest parts of adding the fine details to the boots …. White , it’s been my Achilles heal !
No pen is fine enough , white acrylic pens , even the finest tip is too thick , the tips dry out way too fast , Posca isn’t too bad , but again it’s too thick , the ink blobs , it’s a nightmare,
There has been more than once I’ve come to the end , and the white details ruin it and I have to start again
I found I was using a pin and getting the ink out of the pen … the one night whilst trawling through Facebook I saw an advert … 💡lightbulb moment
So I bought an ink pen and some waterproof white ink
Don’t get me wrong , it’s still nerve wracking but it’s so much better
Now , I use the ink
So many ideas !
Starting today with new Scissors… love them
Guggenhein Precision 2 , and I love them
Really enjoying making the smaller Waldorf style dolls right now
I’ve got new felting needles , new scissors
The miniature crochet AND knitting on the go
And I’m I’m still plodding on with my jumper
Lovin life
