That time of the year!


This year I have somehow managed to do things ahead of time. I have managed to bake my Christmas cake. ( sorry no picture) .
I have managed to decorate the living room and made it look festive so that my Santa's helper can get to work quickly😀. He has a long list to get through.

So how are your preparations coming on?

Couldn't resist

I just could not resist to buy these two items that were on sale. I especially love the water colours. They don't look that great in the box but when I wet the paint they come to life beautifully. The shimmer in them is really lovely and I can't wait to use them. But will I use them? I hope so as I don't want them to join my collected items pile😀.

New doll in progress

I am at the moment making a new doll. I was hoping to get the pattern out before Christmas but because I hit some snags that is not going to happen now.☹️ I am not making a complicated design as I like to think that even a beginner should be able to make it easily, but I need to get the sequence of putting it together right so that it will be easy for a beginner also. In the meantime I just made this little thing quickly as I pictured it in my mind😜. I find it funny how my mind jumps from one thing to another if something is not coming together immediately. Do you find that you digress from what you are doing sometimes if things don't go smoothly or according to plan?
My poor paper clay doll waits in the wings patiently for me to come back to her😀.

What a pain!

Google has discontinued the blogger app and I am feeling lost without it. It was so easy to post with it and it was free. Now they want us to buy an app. This one I am posting from is a trial one. Which I did not realise as it does not say that! I came to know because after a few minutes it keeps asking me to buy the app. I don't think I am going to do that until I am sure. I want to try some other apps too free ones to see if that would be enough for me. They are crafty the way they present these apps.
I have been away travelling a lot hence I have not been posting much as I have been feeling very tired and jet lagged. When I returned from my travels my garden had transform from green to several shades of gold orange and red. Felt like I had walked into a different world.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

So here comes the test . Let's see if this works as well as they say it will.
