even better ..Sun is shining ...and COLD NIGHT !
that means the heating is on ..wigs can dry and I can catch up
the last 4 weeks have been pretty crazy ..Petes hosiptal trips ..which feel surreal ...our holiday ..and a blur of wet wigs ..that wont dry
I am hopeful to catch up again this week
and get everything sent
this is a new bed Im working on ...hopefully part of a new range if it works ..for the small elves ..1/12 scale
and I have larger bed ..which were working on for the larger Yo size dolls
all with that elfin feel to them
the bed will be for view at Miniatura ..and who knows I may have some for sale
they will be available in kit form and made up
exiting !
I am going to have to pull out of the Doll and Bear Show at the Motor Cycle Museum as its too close to Pete`s procedure ...
but I will still be exhibiting at Miniatura xx
another day ..the SUN is shining !
SEPTEMBER CURLY TOTS AND PLAYING WITH COLOUR a days delay !!! GRRRRR
so when I should have been working ..I was making statements to the Police and getting spray paint of my beloved " Star"
I am beyond angry .we are waiting for a letter ..my much better half , has to have a biopsy ..we found out last week he has 2 lumps in his lymph glands ..to say Im stressed ..a little worried a bit tense ? a bit of an understatement !!
all the cats have come down with a mystery virus
I had to get one sick cat up to the Vets , which is Chester ...sort him out and .when I should have been working ...I had to get shit loads of paint off my van
caus one dick head has gone ape with a can of spray paint
well it came off ...now my Van is lovely again ..and the Police have been really nice
Im not the only person in the area to have their property and possessions vandalised
this afternoon was spent arranging to have the tyre blown up ..so I can drop the Van closer to the fence and down the drive ..so the new security camera system I have bought will film the end of the drive and my van
so if IT HAPPENS AGAIN ...smile your on camera
So the wigs will be a day late on Etsy
so Im not happy a day behind ...and buried under work again .......
and Im back !
spent a lovely few days ..with friends
and got some great walking gear ..and nic nacks for the Van
we are both so stoked doing her up LOL
I - WE have spent this weekend ..doing the Van ....
and thoroughly enjoyed myself ....just spending time ..not working as in making wigs and stuff ...but with Pete..
dodging the rain showers ..although Sunday was pretty nice
the Van`s interior framework is almost done ..the cookers frame , The seats , bed and toilet has now got its frame
Pete is now on the last leg ..the storage and a sink
which I bought yesterday off Ebay ...a nice small one ...and compromising ..not a full wardrobe ..a small one ..well, we only wear Jeans and T shirts anyway LOL
there will be storage for bedding under the seat ..and jackets can hang on hooks in the cab ..or in the toilet area if they are wet
its so much fun planning everything out
The Star has really opened up now that large board is down
and the metal box ..which we think may have been an old heater box or something .. that's out
we got rid of all the old cushions ...I want new ones ...
so the cab is now clean .. vacuumed and next weekend Im just gonna give her a wipe down try and get some of the age old dust out
hopefully over the bank holiday next week ...Pete will get in the last part of the frame work ...and I can do the cab and the step
..now WIGS ...I have answered all my Etsy emails
my e.mails .. I'm doing Flikr now ..and tomorrow DOA ..my hands are hurting like hell after a day at the PC ..but Im on track
the weather is appalling ..wet ..and warm ..so NOTHING is drying fast ..its lousy ....but Im back and at work
I have several wigs for the 1ST OF SEPTEMBER ETSY update ..so hopefully everyone should get something :)
