Here I am again after a gap of many months. I vowed not to leave it so long between posts and, before I knew it, time had slipped away again and it's June already. Not that you would know that if you were in England today, as it is raining and chilly. Great shame as the Queen's Diamond Jubilee river pageant was today and there were thousands of bedraggled and soaking wet spectators lining the route. I know this not because I was there but because it was on the TV news tonight, lol. I have taken advantage of this 4 day break to try to make some dolls and finish projects off. I made 3 dolls today and they are drying out from the tea staining process before I give them hair, faces and clothing. I didn't use my usual favourite designer this time. Thought I would try something different and will hopefully put some photos on here. Don't hold your breaths though as my track record this year isn't impressive !!

Hello Everyone,
Doesn't time slip away too quickly? I last posted here in August and now it's December already. I've been quite busy in the past few months. I was fortunate enough to go on a business trip to Framingham near Boston MA. I work for a huge US retailer and this is where the head office is. It was a really nice area and I had a trip down to New Bedford to see a company. I think I want a transfer to Boston, lol. 2 weeks later and I had a fantastic holiday in Utah in September with my partner and my76 year old Mum. She had a great time and shopped until I dropped, lol. Was back in the UK for a couple of weeks then went to Shanghai and Hong Kong on a work trip and that was a pretty hectic 10 days. Back to reality now and I mnaged to finish  4 dolls and put them on Ebay. "Buy it Now" was my choice this time. I sold one within an hour and thought I was on a roll...heheheh, no such luck. Will wait out the week and see what happens. Meanwhile am open to offers if anyone would like one.
I'll be back soon with more Winter dolls ........
Best Wishes to everyone for a Happy Christmas
Jill :-)

I managed to get a doll onto ebay today. She had been on Etsy for a while and no-one loved her, awww. So thought I'd bite the bullet and put her on ebay.

Hope she finds a new home soon x

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since June ! I had a fair bit of travelling to do for my job and lots of other stuff going on and when I looked up, it was August already !!!
My last trip was to Boston, to my company head office, then on to New York for a day. What a busy 4 days that all was. Boston was lovely, our offices are in Framingham, just outside Boston and I liked it so much am tempted to ask for a transfer, lol. New York was a crazy day and it all went far too quickly. Had most of the day in the office then went on a lightning tour of TJMaxx and Bloomingdales, strange combination I think. I'm back in the US in September for a holiday with my partner and my mum. We're going to Salt Lake City and looking forward to exploring/eating/shopping/relaxing/eating ..... did I mention eating? Lol.
I've been making dolls for Halloween and am hoping to put them onto Etsy before long. Otherwise it'll be the usual story, time will fly and I'll be the idiot with Halloween Annies for sale at Easter ! The bodies are all done and the clothes are ready, along with some various pumpkins I decided to make too. If I ever get my act together then my Etsy shop will have loads of stuff in, yay. Look out for the bats too, heheheh.
Maybe I'd better wish everyone a Happy Christmas, just in case the next few weeks fly by the same as most of this year has.
