thankyou!
Wow. Thankyou so much for all your lovely messages after my last post. I'm overwhelmed by everyone who took time out to leave a message. You guys really know how to make someone's day! Thankyou also for bearing with me - blogging still might be sproadic around here for a while longer. This pregnancy continues to be a bit of a rollercoaster ride, and I'm on strict word from my doctor to 'take it easy' (although I still haven't figured out exactly how to do that with an energetic 3 year old other than over-relying on family and ABC Kids). Thankfully, I have no problem taking it easy when it comes to housework! ;) But if you're waiting on an email from me, I promise I'll get there soon.
So, the craft is flowing m-u-c-h slower than usual. The brother & sister dolls were finished last week for a brand new set of twins. Sam is my first little boy doll (um, other than male monkeys, bunnies & cats). He was fun to do, so I think there might be more.



These two look so sweet, love them. Also, enjoying the new style of clothing! so simple and chic

Oh these pesky high-risk pregnancies - I have just been put on medication for high blood pressure!!! At least I passed my glucose test. Now, about these darling siblings (pictured above, not energetic 3 year olds: I know exactly how you feel & all I can say is HOORAY for ABC Kids and DVDs) how do I go about getting one. Being fairly dim anyway, and pregnant, I am starting to realise your dolls and animals don't make it into the shop, so can I please order one? Would you mind (with your feet up of course) letting me know how I go about this. Thanks and hang in there tiny baby.

Ah yes we bless ABC Kids every day. And to think I was one of *those* pre-mums who said using TV as a babysitter was a bad thing!!!! Silly me. We don't let our DD watch it all the time, but when trying to have a shower, it's joy.
Loving your new twin dolls for the new twins. Lovely idea!

You "children" look great.
I love the boy as his name is "Sam" like my boy.
Look forward to see more Sam's.

Sam is great! I have been hoping that you would make a boy doll. Wow!
You are so creative! Ha!

OH, yes! You will have to make more of these dolls because they're so adorable!

They look great!

Yes, it's hard to take it easy with another little one around. I'm in the last trimester, and my 2-year-old doesn't understand why I can't carry her on walks anymore. But do try to rest!

Hey love your blog! Just came over from Bloomin' Workshop. Check our our bloglist later in the day and you should find yourself a new contact. Love those dolls :)

Oh yes ABC kids is great isnt it. I couldnt do much housework when I was pregnant either, my partner had to do the vacuuming and the laundry hanging so I did get to rest a little bit. I hope you can manage to get some rest too. I love the girl and boy dolls too, and I really must buy one of your monkeys when you have time to make some more.

Aw, what a great excuse for taking it easy. Don't feel guilty about relying on family and the tele for entertainment. It won't be long, hopefully and you'll be feeling much better.
The bro-and-sis dolls are gorgeous btw. Your blog is great.

i LOVE these little twins, so cute and inspiring :) hope you are feeling well today!

ABC Kids rocks. It means that for a few hours everyday (both morning and afternoon the kids are occupied enough to leave me alone while I tidy up and get dinner ready etc. And they learn stuff at the same time!! Bonus. *grin*

R U Kidding?? Enjoy it. I was there, relax and take care of yourself!! I had "mild" toxemia and had to be on the couch for over a month and could have no salt. So I ended up eating scrambled eggs and french fries, (with no salt), just a little ketchup:) I pray the best for you!
