09:45 am - How Crafty Are You? You crafty cat!"You’re certainly crafty when it comes to making the most of what you have around you. You have the rare quality of being able to sport the potential in lifeless objects and are not afraid to experiment. It may be time to expand your scope by going on a craft course to develop more skills."

I'm quite enjoying Kirstie's Homemade Homes. I love the idea of making your home quirky and not neutral and boring, using hand made & crafted items and vintage and restored items. There's been some good interviews with Cath Kidston and Kaffe Fasset. She learned to knit last night. Ah, Bless her. She found it really difficult!
I can't say that Ive really been insired to do anything as I already hava a flat filled with vintage 60's & 70's bits and lots of toys, except maybe I'd like to do a glass blowing course! ;)

12:57 am - New dolly day! Woo hoo! I absolutely love Primadolly Adorable Aubrey. she arrives this morning. I just wonder how many encores Takara can keep making..Awesome Aubrey, Amazing Aubrey....
This girl seems quite foxy in a laid back kinda way!
 I've called her Laurel Canyon. I'm reading a book about the California, hippie folk/rock scene called 'Hotel California' by Barney Hoskins, so it's been in my brain a lot lately. I think this girl has a crush on Gram Parsons.

09:29 am - Anyone know about bjd shoes? I found that I had these shoes!!
I had a bjd doll a few years ago but didn't really get that into them and sold her. The problem is that I can't remember anything about the size or what equivalent body these will fit.
I really don't need them any more can anyone help me identify the size so I can list them for sale.
This was my doll in the middle in pink:

These are the shoes I have:
1 Boots

2. Mary Janes

Also.... is anyone interested? Current Mood: blah

12:41 am - Oh. I'm really bad at lj updating!! Even though I haven't got a lot to say..... I've been working very hard making things for Etsy.
I'm really pleased with these new designs.

I think I might save the butterfly one until Spring and do more then.
I just wish I had more time!! I was back at work today after taking Monday to Wednesday off. I came home and fell asleep on the sofa! Damn!!
My Mum came to visit Monday & Tuesday. She bought a candle and put it on a Starbucks chocolate muffin for me! :)

01:54 pm - As you are meme. Stolen from a few people. Take a picture of yourself right now. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture. Post that picture with NO editing. Post these instructions with your picture.

I took 3 with Photoboth but this is the funniest. I often make really stupid face. I wish I didn't!

01:20 am - Having a much needed break! I'm on holiday from work this week. Hooray! I've been feeling a little demotivated lately, to say the least!
Generally I have been coming home from work, sitting on the sofa watching tv and knitting, but I've been making big stuff, for me, like gloves, mittens, a huge scarf, so no new dolly things!!
I got Miss Sally Rice. I haven't done any pictures of her. ;( It's been dark and gloomy, or maybe I've 'fallen off the dolly wagon' a little bit.
I did get Cynthia and Penny back from Leo. Look at this amazing transformation: Cynthia Before - frizzzzzz!

...and After - smooth and sleek!

Her blush and lips are lovely too. She looks like one of those red head Kenners that belong to other people, that I drool over!
So far in a week off work in did... Saturday - nothing! Sunday - nothing! Monday - haircut and worked in the front garden. Tuesday - worked in the back garden (dug up a whole vegetable patch and 2 bushes) Wednesday - Made 2 dresses, plain brown & red and a B&W Polka dot skirt!
Hopefully the rest of the week I'll do more sewing and try to finish some dolly sets that have been abandoned...and maybe some dolly pictures if the weather is good enough. Current Mood: calm

09:44 am - New Dainty Biscuit Dolly!! A new pink haired dolly arrived this week!

I've been trying to think of a name but I'm still finding it quite cute to just call her Dainty Biscuit! I really like her. I think I may give her hair a bit of a trim. I'm looking forward to doing some more pictures this weekend. Current Mood: busy

09:13 am - A Little Holiday in Brighton for a day! Last Monday, which wasn't a bank Holiday, we took a day of and went to Brighton!

It was fun! Lovely and sunny. We got a direct train from Harrow to Brighton, a bit on the slow side but nice and relaxed. We went to the lanes and browsed in some shops, had fish and chips on the pier and paddled in the sea!
A really lovely day! Current Mood: cheerful
