While the Cat's Away

I can believe it's been almost a week since I posted anything on my blog, the time has just flown by. It's been really lovely and relaxing here for the past few days, hubby's up at our country property playing with his tractor. While he's been gone, Pooklet came over for a dolly day which was great fun. We were so engrossed in chatting, playing, planning future purchases we completely forgot to take any photos . . . now how dumb is that?! Speaking of photos, I will be doing a post later on her beautiful knitting, (I got spoilt with a lovely jumper for Nadia and three little boleros for my sweeties), now I'm just waiting for her to get a few dolly things posted in her shop.

I've been buying more fabrics, doing a little sewing and buying more dolls. Having said that, my friend Willoughby will be pleased to know I BOUGHT A BONNIE at long last (from DOA) and she will be on her way tomorrow. It almost wasn't to be, as I was to be put on a waiting list, which at first I was pretty disappointed and upset about, and I almost ordered one from Fairyland, but those on the list backed out, so I figure she was really meant to be mine. :)

She has a default face and doesn't have any eyelashes, she does however have little horns, so that's a bonus. I doubt if she will wear them, biscuit elves don't usually have horns, do they?

Anyway, I'm pleased I finally have my elves for my Cookie Jar family organised, along with their lovely outfits which are on their way from Russia. I can crochet and knit, but when it comes right down to it, Anna does a much better job, I'm so pleased with the way these look. The bottom row have a gold thread running through the cotton, so they will go well with the sparkling boots I have for them (providing the colours don't clash).

Well it's almost dinner time so that's your lot for now.

Yummy Stuff!

Found these little Fast Food Erasers the other day when hubby and I were out and about. Sometimes he has the patience of a saint, which comes in handy at times, especially when I stop to look in all the shops where I am likely to find things at a bargain price for my BJD's!

I bought two packs of these tiny erasers, one with the hot food and the other with the cakes and icecream. They are a pretty good size for my PukiFees as you can see with Cadbury. The pink cookie maybe a little big, but I can use it with my LittleFees instead.

Thanks mum, this is yum!

I also found a great round box which will do nicely to make a biscuit barrel home for the new arrivals due later this year. This will be a project I'll photograph and share with you later, when I have finished all my other UFO's.

Thank You!

Just a brief post this morning to thank all my loyal followers for their comments and interest in my sewing project for Seraphine. I truly appreciate you all taking the time to do so.

I did manage to cut the bodice & lining out on Sunday and put them together yesterday, but it's no way near finished and I doubt if I will get much done today, as I have another corner to paint in my kitchen. It's taking a while to finish, as we have so much furniture to move and very little space to put it. So it's a case of move it to one side of the room, complete a section, put the furniture back and go on to the next bit!

That's what comes of being a hoarder!! :)
