I’ve been busy getting ready for my Farmer’s Market this Saturday. The dolls take a long time to make, I’m sure that you all know that, but the dressing and tagging takes a long time too. I have a clothing section in my workroom with lots of baskets, each containing a type of clothing. So a tshirt basket, shoe basket..you get the idea. It takes a while to dress each doll and I normal do several changes before I settle on the ‘right’ outfit. I don’t spend this much time getting dressed myself. It usually starts with a sweater and then I co-ordinate it from there. I hope to be getting a big box of new clothing from Reggie this week with lots of new fabrics that I ordered a while back. And I just ordered lots of this to make some new stuff with ( I know Berrie is a fan of this too, really you can’t go wrong with Heather Ross!). Con and I are working on a skirt that has a sewn in petticoat and we’ll work with these coordinating fabrics.
My birthday is in 2 weeks time and I’ve decided that my gift will be a new camera. It’s just the right thing to do for me to just get my own presents. John is a wonderful man but, well, last year I got 2 knives for my birthday. The year before that I got a toaster. Really. I don’t mind, I did need a new knife and a toaster. My friends gave him a bit of a talking to last year about gifts and now I will ‘not so subtly’ just get myself something or straight out tell him. My old Cannon has had it. I love her dearly and she has been with my through 2 children and a trip to India, but she’s tired. I’ve decided to ‘upgrade’ and get a digital SLR. Nikkon this time as my great friend and fantastic photographer Devon has recommended. This picture below was taken by her. Just look at those colors! The crispness!
