A well spent day
Brings a happy sleep.

Having
completely left 2014 behind me, I’m now on a
mission to get a head start on my
projects before I get
bogged down.....like last year! As I struggled through
2014,on many levels, I kept thinking to myself ‘why
didn’t you start this
months ago’? I believe the only
thing I managed to get right was to start my
Christmas
shopping and gift making in July. Having said that, I
have decided
one of my busiest times through the year
is always through winter. Everyone is
after mittens,
scarves and head bands and I’m usually flat out trying
to fill
orders. So you know what?..........I’ve started already
with head bands.
One of my
friends from gym gave me her cloth doll and
asked if I could give her a make
over ie new outfit, new
hair. I wish I had taken a photo of what she looked
like
to start with. Little dolly now has new pants, shoes,
petticoat, dress and
hair. It was quite a job to remove
the old hair which was hot glue gunned on to
her
head!!! Eekkk! I’m still going to add a bit of bling to
the bodice and
maybe a beaded bracelet, or if I feel like
being saucy.....perhaps an anklet.
She’s so cute.
As we are
in our summer and the days are pretty hot, I make my way out to the sewing shed
in the mornings before it gets unbearable in there. I was wondering what to do
with a lovely piece of fabric someone had given me a while back. I came up with
a great idea.........a new skirt. I found a basic skirt pattern and added a
small 3 inch ruffle to the bottom. Elastic waist....of course. Lol
It feels so nice on.
I plan to
have a great week ahead.....Heather’s birthday is on Tuesday so I’m taking her
out to morning tea out of kindness and revenge. Lol Yesterday Heather came over
and allied with my boys.....lol.......all against me they were, with Heather at
the helm. I have a plan for that rat bag. Lol
You guys
have a super duper week ahead, do whatever it is that makes you happy, create
to your hearts content. I plan to do the same.
Cheers, Anita.

You do sound cheerful. I hope to have a productive week ahead.
I had a productive new years day but the last 2 days I've been a slug, despite new cross stitch projects I would like to get moving on! I just got new walking shoes so I'd like to take some walks...hoping to hit the beach on Monday to look for glass and snowy owls.
lol, I know how you feel. I've got a pile of projects out that need finishing, I thought I'd get them done when it was quiet and there were no orders waiting. By the look of it, they'll have to wait a bit longer. Love the skirt
Lovely headbands Anita.. The dolly looks fabulous but not too much of the saucy as I wear an anklet... LOL..
have a great pay back morning tea with Heather and wish her a Happy Birthday from me.
Love the doll makeover and your new skirt, I would wear that skirt in a second.
Hugs and Happy Week,
Meredith
Love your new skirt. Enjoy morning tea with Heather. The doll looks great with her make-over.
You are a smart lady, Anita. Sometimes we do leave things too late. Planning ahead makes a lot of sense. Have a wonderful week and a great day with Heather.
We are in the middle of crazy thunderstorms here and it is HOT. Not a lot of sleep tonight!
