Those that know me know I have never been one for getting the balance right ! I am an all or nothing kind of girl, wether thats work or play ( or whiskey or chocolate ! ) .
I cant seem to do anything in moderation. If I do something, well I really do it .
This summer I mostly gardened. The gardening obsession hit me with such force it surprised even me !
I dug and planted and turned my building site of a garden into a rather lovely place to be , even growing vegetables on the porch of my shed........where I should really have been making dolls.
Then I looked at the calendar and counted the weeks until the first of the Autumn shows and realised there arent many of them !
So I am now working to the hilt in the shed making new dolls and hardly coming up for air....... I think I need to get the balance right. I sense a new year resolution ready for 2012.
I didnt completely forget my dolls over the summer. I have been selling my work on ebay . I decided early in the year that I wanted to have fresh work on my table at shows each season so my customers would enjoy seeing new dolls and not familiar ones.
This has worked really well and those of you visiting Miniatura will see a completely fresh table of new work . I hope you will like it as much as I do.
Bert the chimney sweep and Mary Poppins are being auctioned this evening on ebay. They have had so many compliments at the spring shows but are still looking for the right home .
I have been showing some of my new work on facebook. For those of you who arent facebook members here are just a few or my favourites.
Old fred is a lovely old ghost and comes with a wonderful gravestone and wall by mags of mags-nificent miniatures .
As always I have some ghostly mirrors . These are always popular and I have three new ones, all very different. This witch is my favourite .
This Magician and his glamourous assistant were so much fun to work on. I am currently working on some very glamourous art deco ladies and gents and I will post here when they are ready.
Thanks to all of you who are still following me despite my all or nothing posting , I really appreciate it :0)
