I finished this doll ages ago then forgot all about her! She was perched on top of the large cupboard type thing in our kitchen-not really a cupboard, more doors in front of drawers. I got her out for photo with her friend and in front of a 1940s or '50s home made cooker that I got from my half termly trip to the Thursday market last week. There is a woman there with the perfect stall. She has a mixture of dolls house things, toys, dolls, (the red doll was from her too) kitchenalia or vintage kitchen items (take your pick of annoying descriptions!) She also sells fruit and veg from a local farmer near where she lives in Kent. We always have a little chat and she is very encouraging when I witter on about my dolls and craft fairs. I always buy something from her as she always has something great.
Back to the doll. I made her body with this great London Underground map fabric, so if you were lost in selected parts of London, she would come in very useful! I think she needs some kind of detail around her neck, and possibly little ruffs like the red doll.

The not so pleasant job reminds me of the bad neighbor that left, thank the gods that be! She collected all of the cat droppings that had been left in her yard, put them in a pink bag and took them over to the neighbor's that had a cat- then she dug up said neighbor's garden that she had just planted and buried the poos. Ridiculous!
How horrible! My neighbour where they sunbathe said he was thinking of charging, but he was joking!
Wish your stallholder lived near here, sounds irresistible!
The hoarding thing is interesting, isn't it? I've recently decided to just get rid of a major amount of Stuff as I feel it's dragging me down. I sent a carload to my Sister's spring fair and they were very grateful, which makes me feel better about getting shot.
I never used to hang onto things and I'm determined to stop doing it (or at least not so much as now!).
The underground doll is so cool! You could sell them in the London transport shop, I bet, although you'd have to make so many of them I suppose it would stop being fun. But it's such an original idea.
Love the irises. I always do. Specially close up - they're gorgeous
I love your underground doll - so original.
Your irises are gorgeous - they don't grow for me, maybe because the dogs gallumph all over the garden.
I love your Irises. They are identical to mine. I told my Mother the other day that I wanted some yellow ones. She says that she has yellow but can't remember where they are. Our Irises bloom in late April, early May so they are long gone for this year. Maybe next year she'll locate which ones are yellow and give me one. :)
