Autumn Gardening

This time of year is often when I have less dolly time as the garden needs some attention. Earlier on we pulled out all our lavender shrubs as they were getting woody and infested with red mites. This left spaces that needed to be filled, and fill them we did!

We planted a dozen azaleas which are looking quite lost in the space but the three colours we chose will hopefully look like this when they flower.

We also planted lots of these colourful leaf plants under the trees. They are shade lovers so hopefully we will eventually get some decent ground cover where we find it almost impossible to get anything to grow.

Can't remember the names of these plants, but the burgundy leaves should make a nice contrast with the light green leaves on the plants along our fence.

   Well that's about all for today, be back again in a few days!

Consolidating

Over the past few days I have been mulling over the future of my blogs . . . and I have a few! However, I have decided to combine them all into one, so you will see much more of what I sew and knit for the many dolls I own, who will become my store models.

Hannah's two way jumper/cardigan and pinafore is AVAILABLE NOW!

I've also spent many hours, days even, looking for a platform to sell my dolls clothes that didn't sell mass manufactured merchandise, but there's really nothing. Both Etsy and eBay are now inundated with stuff from China. In the mean time, you can always contact me through the contact form on this blog if you see something you are interested in.

Now for some other news . . . Smug Mug has bought FlickR, so I have given them the flick and have decided to store all my photos on my own external hard drive, which I will have access to when ever I wish, without paying someone else for storage.

So there you have it in a nutshell, until next time, have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Big hugs,

Making it a Trio

I've a little dolly news for you . . . Liz Frost of Wizworx has these darling dolls up for pre-order today. Lunette and Lukas are smaller versions of Liz's Luna, and the same size as my Mia Mary and Fifi Muffet. They will be available in Fair Skin and Light Tan and you'll find them HERE!

After bringing home my gorgeous light tan girls and being absolutely thrilled with the quality of Liz's dolls, I have decided to add a fair skin Lunette to my collection. Lunette will make a wonderful sibling for Fifi and Mia, bringing my Liz Frost dolls up to three (I dislike even numbers).

Here are a few close up variations of the fair skin Lunette, however there are more gorgeous photos on Liz's website, so please pop on over.

I quite like the dark haired girl the most, though they are all beautiful. As I have Fifi as a redhead and Mia as a brunette, I really would like my lovely Lunette to be a blonde this time . . . but we will see when she arrives. :)

Waiting is going to be the hardest, as it could be as long as six months before she arrives home, and you know how impatient I get waiting for a doll to arrive. Boy am I going to be antsy around October this year! GULP!

Well I have much more to attend to today, so I'll catch up with all your blogs on the weekend.

Hope you all have a great one!

Hugs,
