April Already

Well another couple of months have passed so quickly..The older you get the faster the years seems to go by too fast.lol..
I have been making more dolls and trying to tidy my craft room, which is not getting any tidier..
I have recently been to Port Pirie on holidays and while I was there I met up with an internet friend, Kirrily.. I was very nervous at first but it was great having a sticky beak around her home.. She has a wonderful display of her crafts everywhere.. I wish I had a bigger house so I could put more of my stuff out.. Photos are of a couple of dolls I have made to sell..
Well I am off to the surgeon tomorrow for the first time to find out about the banding.I must admit I am a bit nervous. I am hoping to have it in June after the long weekend. I have a large 3 day Craft market to do that weekend so I have waited a year a few more months wont kill me.lol
Well catch ya all soon

Well Hello
Another year has started and already we have the unthinkable tragedy of the Victorian Fires. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has lost something or some one in these fires.
To anyone out there who thinks it is great to start fires and ruin peoples lives I just hope your pubic hair catches on fire!!!!Sorry about that anger took over..

Well what have I been doing lately?? apart from trying to keep cool. Not much at all.lol..
I sold over 20 dolls on E-bay before xmas so I have been trying to replace some of those before my next market in March..
Pictured above are a few I have made so far..

Done for this year

Well I did my last market for this year today and I must say I am glad to have a break..
I did really well and had a good time but I am worn out.. above are some of my latest dolls..
The next market I will do will be in March, hopefully this will give me time to clean my craft room up. LOL
I am going to list some of my dolls on Ebay this week, hopefully I will sell some so I can make some new ones from some of the hundreds of patterns I have purchased this year.. I am really looking forward to doing something new next year not sure what yet but it will be a big year for me and I hope to have a different outlook on life after my operation.
Some sad news now!!
I must update you on my friends Joey that I told you about in a previous blog, Maisie.
The poor little thing had to be put down Wednesday.
It was a very sad day, she just couldn't come back from her injuries..

Back Again

Well here I am again.. Not much to tell you this week, been a slow week cause I had a cold and couldn't be bothered with anything.. I am sure you have felt that way from time to time.lol ..I did sell 10 dolls on e-bay in the last couple of weeks which was great..BUT now I have to replace them with some new ones for the next market which is the 20th of September. I have made a couple, but I am trying some new things like Coat hanger Safes, which I will show you when I have finished them.. Went to spotlight yesterday but the rotten buggers were shut for stock take..How dare they. LOL A few pics above of the dolls I have made..The Girl on the Moonbeam I made for a friend for her 50th birthday.. Catch ya all next time..
Keep Safe Tracey

New month already here

Hard to believe we are over half way through the year already..
Some of the new dolls I have made since I last posted are pictured above.The witch I don't really like, but someone might.lol My favorite is the Crash witch.. My dad shakes his head ever time he sees it, he just doesn't get it.lol
The Joey's name is Maisie and she is 8 months old.. Her mum was hit by a car and my friend is looking after her until she can be released at about 18 months old. She will go to a sanctuary.She loves to get out of her bag and play with my poodle.
I have recently done 2 markets but didn't sell many dolls so I have put some on ebay..
Will try to write more later in the week
Keep Safe
Tracey

Another week has started

Well its the beginning of another week already..This year is going too quick.. I am trying to get some more dolls made for my next market which is on the 26th of July.. I really look forward to them as there are some wonderful stall holders..I have recently begun a friendship with one of the ladies and we try to catch up for coffee once a week..
I never think you can have too many friends..
One of my internet friends Shagsy recently had a birthday and I made her the lap quilt pictured above, which she loved..
I have just made some chicken soup which smells wonderful..I just hope it tastes as good.lol
bye for now

Lap Band Surgery

Well I finally did it.After 17 years of being overweight and my health going down hill, I have taken out medical insurance so I can get Lap Band Surgery done.. I will have to wait 12 months before I can get it done which gives me time to find out more about it.. My hubby and I went to a Seminar about the operation which had the whole team there which includes Dietitian , Psychologist, Life coach and the surgeon.. I would love to hear from anyone who has had this done or knows of anyone who has had it done.. I am not naive and know that there is a risk to all operations, but If I don't do it now I wont be around to see grandkids, Thats if I ever get any. LOL This is a link to the Lap Band Information if anyone is interested.. I know you might be thinking I am a bloody idiot but until you have walked in my shoes you wont know what it is like.. So be happy for me and wish me luck!!!
