Millie

Here are the dresses they are going with Millie, I will make some extra dresses for when she comes with Eve to visit and can take home a new dress, I wonder if there are enough photos to make Millie her own book.
 

The Past Week

I have so enjoyed the lovely bunch of peony Roses, changing colours as they open they are now a soft gold shade,  Peonies have a vase life of 7-10 days, these ones have been amazing, from being picked, packed and sent to the market and from there to the florists would have taken at least 2 days, and I have had the enjoyment of them for 9 days longer than I could have expected. So Special.

 A little Christmas stitching, Robins have been the theme at present. These are for a gift box for the guild Christmas party.the other Robin piece I will show after it has gone to a new home.

I’m now returning to my happy place needle and thread in hand making another small doll dress, I want Millie to have 6 dresses plus the fairy and the princess dress when Eve gets her. The photo book… the Adventures of Poppy which is for Eve’s birthday have arrived from Snapfish and I’m pleased with the finish result.

Will share dolls dress soon.

Special welcome to the new month.

 I had a lovely start to the new month, first this beautiful bunch of peonies roses arrived , and they are even lovelier each day as the blooms continue to open.

They were followed by another beautiful bouquet of blooms this time a selection for me to make an arrangement with ,

I just noticed when I posted the photo how the mignonette has moved to follow the light since I did the arrangement. This year has brought an abundance of these plants, all flowering well and surviving the battering from the strong winds.

I'm very blessed these two lovely gifts from my family will bring me much joy.
