I've been too busy sewing to take any new photos, so I thought I'd go to my 'back-up folder' with black and white photos. So here's Elin, my lovely, very first BID, who started it all....
I have so many things on the go right now, and I find that can be a bit overwhelming. I much prefer to finish one thing at a time, and then move on to the next project.
I took photos of the BID pink corduroy outfits, but am waiting to post them for sale when the KID outfits are finished.
The KID outfits are almost completely done, but I had run out of several colours of crochet thread for the matching hats. We went to our long awaited Michaels store, which is one of those "50%" stores, in that it just carries SOME of the standard Michaels merchandise - meaning it rarely has what I need. And of course, they don't sell any crochet thread. Which meant a trek to the Michaels in Whitby, but first I thought we'd try Walmart. Success! Not only did they have several of the colours I needed, but they were a lot cheaper than at the far Michaels.
So today I changed all three KIDs into the new sundress sets, and was working on the crochet hats, but when I went to water the garden, the giant cow parsnip flower was starting to open, and I thought it would be perfect for a 'flower fairy' photo. Which means I need a fairy outfit. I first thought I could use the pink lace dress with a set of pink butterfly wings, but decided I really wanted a real flower fairy outfit. So the crocheting came to a sudden halt, as I pulled out fabrics for a flower fairy dress.
I'm also struggling with either allergies, or a cold. Can't tell yet which it is. I don't usually suffer from allergies, but there's always a first time.
The next commission is going to be a Musketeer outfit for Iplehouse Tedros, who is the biggest doll I own. But I won't be starting until July, as next week Jan has off and is supposed to be painting some of the rooms on the main floor. I suspect I'll need to be helping with a lot of moving and cleaning, plus everything from those rooms will end up in my work space, so I don't think there's going to be much sewing happening. I'm really hoping my doll case will finally get re-wired and reorganized so all my BJDs can go in it. That alone would be worth all the upheaval.
Well, that's enough of a rant for today. Time to have dinner, and then work on that flower fairy drew some more....
