‘Where Wild Things Are’

by Maurice Sendak

Best book I ever read to my kids, and still have a copy on my shelf so I can still enjoy the illustrations.

Rag Doll Book – StuffUps ……

…. but only little ones.

The book which has taken a week to put together is now together.

In one piece.

Click here to see more details of my other life as a rag doll maker.

The cover will have a title added, probably fabric letters fused on, or a scrap of fabric with the title added with a permanent marker.

(Thinking about it, the letters would have to be cut very small to be fused on!)

Many pages will have addition information, photos of dolls and some trims added now the book is together.

I might even break out the coloured pencils … maybe the water-colour pencils!

I realize now I should have taken photos of a lot of dolls before I removed their stuffing to use them in this and a lot of other books recording all my rag dolls.

If you would like to see all the pages of the book

Thank you, Debra

For a moment of levity!

You Go, Muriel!

Glasses

… full of bubbles.

All the glasses have been washed, all the leftovers have been eaten, and the last guests have returned to their own abode.

(They weren’t allowed to go home until the leftover food was gone!)

We are back to two, and though there were more around recently who like glasses full of bubbles, and we indulged, now there is only one who will drink bubbles.

Remind me not to try blogging if I indulge in more than half a glass!
