Happy Day :)

finally the door and windows have arrived....Im so happy now building can continue !

Kit

well wasnt sure how I would do...but I finished my first kit :) A Dry Sink .  I have also been playing with pipe cleaners and chenille sticks  its fun and I had to do something while waiting for varnish to dry!!!

Knitting Nancy

 I made everything apart from the deck chair......

 I think I like her....but Im not sure she is too keen on me.

 I discovered how easy it is to make hats and am trying to resist the temptation to order the stuff to make 20 or so......can I hold out ;)

OK I have a builder to help with the house constuction so I needed a mini to help me knit. I made my first full body doll....shes no pretty young thing and a little grumpy.....but boy can she knit!

knitting

I have been doing a little more knitting. The bear is quite scary....I think perhaps if i knit it again in a softer colour it may look better

Building underway

 started with 3 of these......this thing is going to be HUGE

 looks smaller now :)

 its growing again! There are 3 stories and acsess from 3 sides so its not a little project.

building work has started in ernest although Im stillwaiting on windows and doors so this slows us down :(

just fiddling

 not sure that my dolls will be dressed quite like this but it was a learning exercise....I even crotcheted the collar!

 more sewing.

 more knitting....love Lesley Manieri's patterns.Last but not least was looking at the gifts from my brother in law.....the toilet rolls seem to be pieces of dowel wrapped to look like toilet paper...so.....I decided to make some rolls lol....and while im at it im going to try and make one of those little dolls that cover the toilet roll ....so far got a tiny basic upper made from polymer clay .I guess i have to try and crochet the skirt for it now.....It may happen LOL

ok the past few days have been spent messing around with bits and pieces....had lots of failures and got a bit of inspiration so heres a little of whats going on.....

Rain!

since the wood arrived we have had a lot of rain....so no action on the building front. The weather is improving now so hopefully a start should be made this week :) What have I been doing? well very little but I have finished some clothes for my now builder/forman ....he will oversee the building of my house. I finally finished knitting the booties for my baby doll and have been practicing putting hair on dolls (using the heads I burnt and the fleece I got cheap) The mohair has arrived but I think I will practice some more with the wool and the dud heads until I am happy to use the mohair.
