Doll club meeting

I do so love going to our doll club meetings. there is so much enthusiasm for all the different types of doll out there. I always come away feeling enthused and ready to get on with my dolls.

I did a painting demonstration and relieved that I do still have control of the brush. The Heubach children are such a delight to paint and relatively easy if you can master those single stroke brows!

I put the knitted bear that I made on the show and tell, at least i did have something to put there this time!

Done the knitting part....

I've finished all the knitting for the bear. Now its the fun part of making it all up! It was a very easy pattern to follow and the yarn is nice to knit with but a bit tricky if you do make a mistake, its not so easy to unknit! I enjoyed the knitting part especially as i am still so tired in the evenings and this has been a pleasant diversion.......but it's not getting the dolls made!

Knitting bears

As it is half term there is very little doll work going on right now. I don't seam to have 5 minutes to myself. Yesterday we made the obligatory shopping trip to Southampton (I do hate shopping in these shopping centres) but my daughter loves it and she had money burning a hole in her pocket! she was very pleased with the new outfits she bought and some at my expense! but I did buy myself a knitted bear kit in John Lewis. I don't usually buy kits but this one looked so sweet and I haven't done any knitting in a while. I sat quietly last night and knitted in front of the telly and i enjoyed myself. Only managed half the head and one ear so a long way to go, but he will be lovely when he's finished.
