It's been a while..........Sorry!

I have been very remiss in keeping up to date, but I have had some bad news to deal with too. In February I was diagnosed with the disease chronic lymphocytic leaukaemia, so as you can imagine I have been bouncing off the walls for a bit trying to get my head around it all. Glad to say I am feeling a lot calmer and beginning to come to terms with having something for which there is no cure and has to get a whole lot worse before there is any treatment to put it into remission. So........ focus on creating, sewing and enjoying my favourite things.......

And my latest thing is trying to recreate the Lenci type pressed felt dolls, this is my first attempt, the next one is looking better, I'll post pictures when I'm done.

Bank Holiday, weather and time out!

It has been a lovely weekend. I've managed to get in the garden and begin the great tidy up, the grass is cut and some of the bushes have had a bit of a trim...anyway, it is looking tidier. I've also been managing to get round the house and have a bit of a tidy and now I'm more focused on my list.......

Arrangements for our holiday are sorted!! plans for my competition entries are coming together and I'm beginning to get on top of the rest of the list.......

I've found some lovely white mouseline and fine lace for the top of my boys outfit and some silk wool for his little trousers and hat. I drafted the pattern yesterday and now I'm ready to sew.
