I really feel for you with your little friend, our Jasmine is 11 and I can tell she is getting old and seems to be loosing weight even though the vet can't find anything, but I know it won't be long in the next few years and I can't imagine life without her. Been catching up with your blog, wow don't kids toys get bigger and more expensive and sometimes wonder if it's for the best or worse lol. They so look cute though in the cars and motorbike. Loving the shirt and trousers, I'm quite used to seeing clothes like this with my sister being in dramatics, I used to be when I was younger, my Sis now runs the group that I used to be in when I was young. She makes most of the costumes and occasionally I will help with sewing sequins etc on or making jewellery. Can't wait to see the new dolls :-). I love car boot sales, I haven't been for awhile but you can get fab bits from them. Sounds like you probably have had a few busy days with all that work load. Hope your having a nice bank holiday weekend. I'm a bit nervous as the support worker is visiting this morning. It's only took four months!!!! But even though were working really well with brad it still is effecting our daughter badly so hopefully he can help us as a family. Happy Woyww :-) hugs Kerry xxxKezzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282325796163580792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-82509107420589074722012-08-25T07:47:53.656+01:002012-08-25T07:47:53.656+01:00Gosh, when I think how "little" fabric I...Gosh, when I think how "little" fabric I got at a cheap shop your find is amazing!!!<br />Ooh you were busy and I would not know where to start on those fancy shirts but what a lovely romantic dream you must have had whilst doing the alterations.<br />Thanks for sharing and sorry I am so late this week.

So sorry to hear about Skye, what a heartbreaking week. I thought of you yesterday actually, my son just sewed his first thing - a pre-holed hand puppet. He loved it so much that when we went to buy some replacement googly eyes from Hobbycraft I decided to get him another set. I went a bit mad though as they were really reasonable and I nearly wet myself when I found a dolly for him to make!Lisa-Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150130990478203351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-53525011772932800362012-08-23T06:28:18.196+01:002012-08-23T06:28:18.196+01:00I guess you'll be too busy to get into much tr...I guess you'll be too busy to get into much trouble this week, huh?

Who knows, you may get to make one of those frilly dresses. <br /><br />I have always enjoyed going to Yard Sales because you just never know what you are going to find. That's why I usually go to the thrift store in town every Saturday morning. It's a treasure hunt!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting. My desk will be back on display next week!<br /><br />Hugs, Kay #30505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-87729762407823267302012-08-22T21:42:41.707+01:002012-08-22T21:42:41.707+01:00Life never seeems dull for you Annie so much to do...Life never seeems dull for you Annie so much to do.

I don't envy you that one bit.<br />I really thought I was a follower of your blog, but when I realised I had not seen your last two posts, I checked, and apparently I wasn't. But I am now!<br />i was so sorry to read about your little dog. Itb is never an easy decision. We may yet have to make it for Baggins. he is much better in himself, but we now know he has broken his jaw, in one, and possible two places, so he can only eat if I spoon feed him. My regular vet is back off holiday onn Tuesday, and I'll talk through the possibilities with her then.<br />I hope you have a better week this week.<br />Kate xmamapez5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16882819450456050281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-44547046205762264202012-08-22T16:55:44.347+01:002012-08-22T16:55:44.347+01:00I love reading about your work.

Love those dresses too, they are so floaty and feminine and cover a multitude of sins - always important :) Love car boot sales - it's amazing what you find and the toys are usually in such good condition too.
