My Waldorf Dolly

I have wanted to make one of these for a very long time. I have found it very time consuming and difficult but am thrilled that she has kind of worked out. I have made her for my daughter's partner's three year old. Tomorrow..... clothes......

Goodbye Nelly

Our dear old Nelly died last month. She was sixteen years old. Nelly was a fantastic sheepdog who loved to work, Pete buried her overlooking the sheep yards.

Our morning walk

This is a walk Coco and I take about once a week, from our house down to the sea and back.

Chloe, who is fairly blind, won't come any more. She will only come on beach walks under sufference. Not until she is actually on the beach will she walk, and even then, ONLY if it is  a nice day, otherwise she refuses to walk.........

Felt Doll

Yesterday I made this littleMimi Kirchner felt doll. She was such fun to make. I haven't got a very good selection of felt but next time I 'go away', off the island that is, I will buy some more. I would love to make some more felt dollies. I have bought the materials to make a Waldorf doll for a little girl who needs someone to dress and undress etc and so this little dolly has been practise because I am rather daunted by the Waldorf........
