Slow stitches ❤️






 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 

As Paul redecorates our living room 

New sofa , chair rug and curtains , can’t wait until it’s done 

This is how I rock 🤣❤️🤣

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

Violet

 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
