I ordered the doll making kit you can see in the plastic bag in the middle of my workdesk on the 1st June & it arrived yesterday - thought that was good coming snail mail from Rhode Island to Wales !
So not sure when I'll have the time to have a go making it up but as long as I have the instructions
downloaded I can go at my own pace !
On the left at the back of the desk is a funny little cloth figure I bought too - a couple of dollars to make up the minimum order - so I'm thinking there's an Art Doll looming too !!
To the left at the bottom you can see some of the photos I have managed to gather for the scrapbook for my mother-in-laws 80th birthday - its been hard to get photos of her life & keep it a secret !! Also a little Owl - he's a magnifying glass - great for us old crocks can wear round our neck to look at small details when even the reading glasses or varifocals let us down !!
In the middle is Dad's card for Father's Day - written & ready to post to be sure to arrive by Sunday !
And finally on the right my subscription copy of Simply Homemade arrived yesterday - love the free Emma Ball papers & stamps - they will be fun for scrapping our seaside holiday in Cornwall in August - I really like her quirky sea-side images & the papers are bright happy summer colours (so even if the weather ends up as rubbish as this week I can feel upbeat !!)
Well hope you all have a happy crafty week & looking forward to seeing your workdesks too !
Wonderful creative space.

The pre-made doll made me smile. He totally makes me think of those guys in white from the Star Wars movie (storm troopers?). He also is a he in my mind but I'm sure you can girly him up if that's your plan. Good luck with your new doll project.
ReplyDeleteOOh ALi, you've got it all going on...another one moving into fabric crafts as well, how clever!
ReplyDeleteYou will have to keep us updated on the doll's progress! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

I can't sew to save my life and I can't wait to see how your doll turns out, I have never made one so I will stay tuned. Amazing the postal system now, how fast things can travel around the world.
ReplyDeleteHave a great crafting week
