This morning I struck gold at the car boot sale and found lots of preemie babygros and vests from someone who had prem twin girls. So I sort of cleared them out and cleared my purse too. I have enough tiny vests and babygros for preemie babies now for a few years - which is good as dolls clothes just arent as good quality.
Sandra had some lovely knitted sets too which were just the right size for Trista. I also got Caitlin some full vinyl play dolls too - soft bodies dont go well in the bath!
All in all it was a good morning and despite the fact that I had promised not to bring Christmas to the house each Sunday, I sort of did. I found some powder paints for the kids which will hopefully help ward them off my genesis paints and a Dora raincoat for Caitlin and a flat wool cap for Fred. I also got the himmies some designer dresses which I cant wait to photograph.
I have Mirte coming next week. I just love the serious pouting look which will go great with Margie's happy face and Munira's young inquisitive look.
For myself I found a nice Per Una top and some jeans which are the right length (need a belt but not too large) - which will ward off the need to do the ironing for a bit longer!
And then - I came home and had to finish Trista. Had, in that I was too impatient to wait.
I had filled the legs last night but woke at 3am and realised the wrong filling was inside and so re-did it. Half fell asleep after that and had a really weird dream which involved my late grandparents and a hotel keeper who wouldnt refund a third bedroom which wasnt needed any more. Very strange dream!
So here she is. I am not happy with the rooting and will have to learn from that. Next time will do paler skin and I think that will make a difference. But for a first one I am happy with her
