Awful weather and Christmas Orders

Hi there, what awful weather we are having eh? Winter seems to have come upon us with a bang! Jazz is staying near the warm fire most of the time, but every now and then he runs around the house chasing martians to run off his excess energy, very amusing to watch but rather damaging to the sofa and chairs as he uses them as a springboard. :(

OOps! got a couple of pair of my shoes in that pick sorry, I really should start to be more tidy, but I think maybe you will excuse me when you see all the custom orders I have been making lately in time for Christmas. Below is actually just the tip of the iceberg! , four more to go and six to post then I can start to finish my Christmas shopping. More excited about the fact that my son will be home fron uni for the Christmas Hols!!!

This is a rag doll in a land army outfit that I did for a ladie's mum, was quite a challenge but was quite pleased with the finished effect.

Thes two were part of a 9 outfit order for another lady, took me a while to get these done as I do have a day job as well,- lol

A ball gown with scalloped hem, and a fairy outfit complete with wings to fit Groovy girls dolls, made amongst others for a very good loyal customer.

And a Karate suit made to fit American girl but also to fit a little girl's Teddy.

Yes as you can see I have been very busy----Oh well! back to the sewing machine, as I said only four more to go before I catch the last post for Christmas.

You can find my shop here

Custom orders and a rainy day

Hi all, well I am getting over my op now and the knee feels much stronger.  I am very busy too at the moment with custom orders for dolls clothes, getting on with those with the hopes of more to come now we're getting nearer Christmas, I just hope peeps don't leave it until late to order custom made as they do take longer then just sewing to stock the shop, as there are certain fabrics to buy for the different outfits wanted.

And what an awful weekend it has been to be sure weatherwise.  This is the view that I face as I'm sewing today, you can see how dull it is , and the rain beating on the windowpane.  You can also see what a mess my garden is in, I haven't been able to get out in it much this summer as my knee has been paining me since I injured it back in April. And my OH has been busy with his upholstery business.  So I do apologise for the photo, really it was just to show you the weather  ;(   of course if anyone wants to offer their services of the agricultural kind I would be more than thankfull, ...........OK then but give me full marks for trying ;)

Our son is settling well into uni life, being a little mischevious around the town as students do, but nothing bad, just silly --planking and stuff like that but he is looking after himself and posted one of his meals that he made himself on facebook to show that he is a superchef.
In fact I am just about to ring him back now as he has just answered his phone to me amid an uproar of  'oh my god!' and other expletives, and much hysterical, loud laughter, as  he and his flatmates were just returning from the pub as I rang and apparently someone has returned to a flooded room, not my son I hope, but there was so much of a kerfuffle coming over the phone I couldn't make much out , hence I will ring back and hope that they have calmed down somewhat.  Oh the fun of it all!
Ta-ta for now.
