I hope you are all keeping well...we've had some fabulous weather over the last 6 weeks...apparently it's been the longest spell of hot weather in England for SIX years!! I managed to keep my plants watered throughout all the sunshine! I bottle-watered them in the morning, then again at lunch time, then misted them with the hose in the evening...it was worth all the effort, as it looks lovely!

Yes, it's been awhile since I've posted!! I have been very busy between work and getting ready for the baby to arrive, and have been so tired that I haven't turned on my computer at night or most weekends after the long work week. Guess I've been slacking here! Anyways, all is well. The baby should arrive any day . . who knows when he'll decide to make his appearance into the world. He seems to be content moving around in my belly for now as I cherish the last few days of pregnancy. I love the feeling of a li'l one moving around in there, other than the occassional aches and pains that go along with (and the horrid heartburn, but at least the antacid I'm allowed to take helps with that for the most part). Hope everyone is doing well. I hope to visit a few blogs this weekend. I've really been missing out!!

Met dit patroon is er een My Little Annie-pop op maat gemaakt, speciaal voor jou! Dit is een enorm patroon met instructies voor 12 Annie-poppen! Ze zijn allemaal verschillend, maar zijn gemaakt vanuit één basispatroon. Ze zijn 20 cm lang, gemaakt van mousseline of osnaburg-stof en hun uiterlijk varieert van “zo heel schattig” tot “gewoon zo haveloos”! Elke pop is versierd met een strik en een hartbedel bovenaan haar jurk. Maak er één, maak er een paar, maak ze allemaal! Dit patroon bevat veel kleurenfoto's om je te helpen bij het bouwen. Van schattig tot prim, welke Annie(s) zullen winnen? (je hart dus)?
You know, we all need help in our sewing rooms. Someone that helps but isn't bossy. If you come to PMW you can meet my little helper in person. She's always on time and always dressed for work. (I've asked her not to come in her jammies!) She wears an apron that is pinned on with a wool sunflower. She holds my scissors in her waistband so they are always handy when she follows me around. She has a charming spool necklace that she lets me wrap my thread around as well. There is a buttoned-on flap at the back to hold needles and small ruler and, well to just cover up parts that shouldn't be seen. When she's busy holding stuff for me, she just lets me pin her and never complains. Buttoned eyes, a wool stitched nose and a very thoughtful expression is always on her face. She never asks to leave early because of a hair appointment because her hair is rusty pins and never hangs down in her face. I think she's just very handy to have around and you can have one too! If you can't make it to PMW watch for the pattern coming your way.

Both of these little ladies are looking for a loving home, and both have found one. Thank you so much, Julie
My second time to try to duplicate a doll. They always have their own unique look, though!

Вязание спицами куколки примитива. В отличие от вязания крючком амигуруми связать такую же куколку спицами очень просто. Вам понадобится 5 спиц и пряжа.
The vulnerable expressions of Annie Montgomerie’s figures give them a surreal quality, each a product of recycled material. The U.K.-based mixed-media artist has built a following with her often-whimsical animal-human hybrids, often emphasizing the latter part of the equation in their essence. Each of these works are one-of-kind, the artist says.
