Just popping in here to wish you and yours
a very Merry Christmas!
Thank you all so much for being here for me this year.
See you bright and early in 2010!

This little chair came home with me from the charity shop the other day.
I don’t really know why as no-one in the house plays with dolls.
Although, now it’s next to my lovely felt dog
 
I want to make a Julie Arkell inspired doll for it. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Much nicer than going to the bank, supermarket, library and post office as […]
