What a month !

 Heat waves ! Poor Paul got food poisoning , he was so Ill , I spent days dashing from Drs to the chemist ..to Sainsburys to get him Lucazaid as he couldn’t keep anything in or down 

After 5 days I was feeling shattered …the heat , the worry ..then ..oh deep joy …I started to cough and ache ..yup I had picked up Covid …

After 3 days Paul tested positive too ..

So fed up …still it’s behind us now …we’re both on the mend 

Amd I’m catching up with orders …and I treated myself ..a bear for me 

Lisa Pays amazing Pooh Bear Masterclass…it’s amazing , it’s really giving me the confidence to make bigger bears and use my airbrush and I’m loving him ! I’ve had this mohair for years …I’m so pleased I finally had the chance to use it 

Another heatwave has hit us …and I haven’t finished him as my air gun kept drying too fast and blocking up , but he is almost done and I love him to bits x

It begins ….

 Really lost my mojo lately 

But I am enjoying my tiny shoe making 

So I decided to start this …. 

The first jumper I started , I got to the armholes … and frogged it 

Way too small , I think I will try it again but with thicker yarn 

This one looks beautiful and so far so good … I’m

Loving the yarn and the pattern 

Sewing and dolly mojo

 I’ve been totally out of whack since my hols …I really want to make things with my glass , but have several projects in the way before I can do this 

I need to sort out my work room ..a lot of dolls to be sold off too 

Lots of work to be done …doesn’t help that my hip has decided to give up the ghost …I’m in a lot of pain ..again and it’s affecting my mobility …still I’m still getting things done …slowly 

Hospital contacted me …x rays Monday to find out what’s going on with my swanky new hips 

And I settled down to sewing .. I don’t normally make fabric shoes …I’m not comfortable making them but the brief is a fabric shoe to go with an oriental outfit …so I did 

I used Lisa Pays Pinocchio shoe and resized it , ..perfect ..I’m quite pleased with it 

So exited

 …so Saturday Paul took me to Stratford where I was attending a silversmith workshop …very nervous ..but I thoroughly enjoyed myself 

I’m dead exited about this new venture , I really am …Pauls being fully supportive and encouraging 

I’ve got a workroom to sort out and tools to purchase..but yeah I think I’m going to go for it !
