The Lovely British Weather

We're told there's going to be a mini heatwave this weekend, but I see no signs of this being true!

Doll Houses

Today, I've been clearing out the cupboard under the stairs. Not a nice job. I'm not sure it's been done in many years and it's full of cobwebs and things that move in the shadows! lol

Anyway, to cheer myself up after that job I thought I'd start looking at a doll house for my Blythes. Wow, are those things expensive. I've looked at the Barbie and Sindy houses, but I want something a bit more customisable (is that a word?), which I can take good photos of. Anyway, I think the answer is to make one, which is going to take time and effort. I don't have either of those at the moment, so I guess it's going to have to wait for now.

I did however purchase a mini Lalaloopsy. I'm looking forward to her arrival!

Until then I'm back to the crawly things in the shadows.

Oh Dear

Me: Harmony, what are you doing?
Harmony: I'm protesting.
Me: Against what?
Harmony: You doing housework and not spending time with me.
Me: Once the house is tidy, and ironing done I can play with you.
Harmony: But you never get to the end of it.
Me: Ok, I see your point.

Looks like the kids will be going out in crumpled clothes tomorrow. heehee.

Dinah Meets a Pony

Last night, I decided to whip up a quick outfit for Dinah, my Blythe doll. The hat came out a little small, but considering I normally follow patterns I was quite pleased. So once finished, I nipped out to get a few shots. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great, but I still like the look of her with Baby Cotton Candy.

Pretty in Pink

I needed a little bit of escapism, because I am learning to drive at the moment and I'm dreadful. According to my instructor it's my confidence which is bad. I'm not really very sure what to do about that. 

I hope you are all having a good week and stay safe on the roads.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you lovely Mummies out there. I've had a weird morning because my children stayed at their Nanna's house last night, so I am an abandoned Mummy! Going to pick them up soon though and then we are having lunch with my Father-in-law and dinner with my Mother-in-law. So, I guess diet will have to restart tomorrow!

Yesterday evening sans children, J and I decided to go for a walk. This is a massive thing because he hates "walking for no reason," but armed with his camera phone he was reasonably happy and I was over the moon snapping shots all over the place.

Beautiful derelict church

The light had faded when we found the windmill.

Spring has sprung!

I hope you all have a fantastic day. Never ever take your Mum for granted, I have too many people in my life who miss theirs dearly on this day as I'm sure they do everyday.
