My mum is staying with us at the moment and rather than let her enjoy herself in the Highlands she's been put to work! No, I wouldn't do that......she very kindly offered to knit some garments for my poor unwanted dollies. My mum is an incredible knitter so how could I refuse! This is what she has done so far......
There are two beautiful cardigans, a beret, scarf, bag and socks and I can't wait to get started on another Lost Doll so they can wear one of them.
We had another dusting of snow last night and everything is white and crunchy outside.
The poor hens are staying in their run - they really don't like walking on ice and snow.

I spent most of yesterday working on my girly dresses. I bought some pink and black skull fabric in Edinburgh this year and Neil was quite skeptical about it being used on dresses but I think I've convinced him.......here they are at the moment. I'm still trying to perfect the construction technique and am messing about with a placket for buttons at the back, but I'm almost there. I've got some beautiful pinstripe fabric that washes beautifully and I want to do some kind of 'suit and tie' dress.......that will be the next project.
