new dolly hats in my etsy ( www.stephpeachey.etsy.com )
current progress on my new blanket

dont you love spring?? what a difference a bunch of tulips makes to a room.

28 weeks...

its hard to see that bump is growing but maybe it all depends on the time of day the photo is taken...it always seems smaller in the morning!

the cot is up in the baby room, and although we know the sex, until its here we wont buy toomuch more stuff.....just in case!

ive come to the conclusion that this lady needs to move home. what with baby coming and having recently moved house, i cant afford dollies that dont get the attention.

week 20 and other stories

baby has cooked to week 20 now, and is moving all the time and kicking nicely. Bump is growing slowly and has a nice shape, so i now look pregnant rather than have eaten too much...

this year ive decided to crochet some christmas presents.

my mum will be getting this scarf...

and my sister this cowl, pattern here...http://sennaloves.blogspot.com/2011/10/21.html

i also used some of the silver flecked wool to make another blythe hat which is listed in my etsy.

ive also picked some gender neutral colours for a baby blanket. i went with Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, and if we decided to find out the sex, can add in the appropriate colour palette as needed.

new dolly hats

i finally figured out how to make blythe granny hats. 3 are in my etsy and i'll see how they go.

Bristol Harbour Harlots v Severn Roller Torrent

Dollies like derby too!

in addition...

my lovely friend Jodie of Kittyrobot fame made the girls their very own sparkly pulls.

happy easter :)

Pandora doesnt understand what happened to the sun....

Meanwhile..i had the opportunity to buy a Mrs Retro Mama blythe today, but due to house/holiday saving i said no. sigh.

first attempt at lid painting

come on in...

Nan (she doesnt like Nancy. thats her naughty name) checking out the neighbourhood.

family photo

So here is my current dolly family.

(back L-R) Mave (guava), Nancy (Marigold), Pandora (Amaryllis), Mab (CanCanCat)

(front) Elidee (Mango), Eleora (CasualAffair), Bella (Violetina)b

Elidee is due for a FrankieDarling makeover, and im sending her Maeve as payment (just havent bonded ).

i have asked my lovely friend Jodie of KittyRobot to make pull rings based on the above for Nancy and Pandora.

.

Firstly, say hello to my monchhichi friend, Pippin. Pandora is trying to make him feel at home (doesnt she look smart in her Boutique de Lupi outfit?).

on Saturday, my Derby team and i went to Newport to watch the Tiger Bay Brawlers vs Bristol Harbout Harlots. We supported the Harlots, who were unfortunately thrashed but the Brawlers. An enjoyable night all round.

..

1. I am going to (hopefully) be seeing Reel Big Fish in march. hoorah!!

2.it has been a month and i still have swollen neck glands and a cold. i am bored of ill now.

3.

The girls have all redressed.

snow queen

Pandora in the snow.

future LPS blythe releases

Whilst doing my little internet browse, i came upon these future releases from the Blythe/Littlest Pet Shop collaboration.

I have also just had a scrapping splurge, so hopefully you might see some paper action from me soon!

blythecon injury

poor bella. i turn my back for a minute and she goes and chips her lip.

blythecon!!

today was BlytheconUK in Oxford. i shared a small stall with someone and sold a few bits. i also got to meet the lovlely Gina Garan, although Mab got camera shy!

Bella managed to chip her lip and Mab lost a chip in her head. oops.

stuff

The girlies got some new hairbands from Little Miss Boutique.

i was upset that Asda no longer stocked my fave cool cherry tictacs. But all was forgiven when i saw these! Cherry and Passion! these babies remind me of our holiday in florida, as i went through packs of them.

and these are my lovely new boots, perfect for lazy people as they actually have a zip up the side.

here's a little scrapping i managed today. i also did a card and something exciting but those will have to be secret for a little while yet.

Eleora Dorrit came back from her spa. i love her new natural look, and these green chips look amazing IRL. now she just needs her hair sorting!!

on saturday i went to bristol for a dolly meet. there were only 7 of us but we still had plenty of dollies for the picture! there are even 2 Amaryllis; my Pandora and another.

she's here!

say hello to Pandora Nyx. All my new girls have names from fairies. so L to R we have: Elidee, Maeve, Pandora Nyx, Mab and Bella. Elidee, maeve and mab were named after fairies in Jim Butcher's 'Harry Dreseden' series, and Nyx is another name for a sprite. Bella wasnt named from Twilight, she came first for me.

also missing is Eleora Dorrit, who should be back from the spa soon.

and for your viewing pleasure, this pile of crochet hats will be coming to BlytheconUK with me.
