Another fabulous day today, haven't we been so lucky with this glorious April weather?
A little parcel arrived in the post for me today.
This time it was a Easter Swap held by the Sasha Group which I took part in.
A pretty little blue dress and matching panties.
I've been busy in my sewing studio today. Last night I sat down with pencil and paper and did some planning for a new dress I wanted to try and make.
Fiona is modelling this pin tuck dress made with an old nightie I bought in a charity shop in NZ for $2. There is plenty left over to make many more items. Perhaps some underwear...why is it dolls are always missing their underwear and shoes?
Enjoying the sunshine.
I decided that the bottom of the green needle cord pinafore need to come off.
Yes, that looks much better I think.
Now for some wild life...not seen in our garden before...in fact not seen by me ever except many years ago from a distance.
A Grass Snake (Natrix natrix)
A very big one, over a metre long.
Just amazing, the colours and markings quite a contrast.
I even touched it to see what a snake felt like!
Our lovely Maple is looking gorgeous.
