And through it all...

she offers me protection,

a lot of love and affection,

whether I'm right or wrong.

I only intended to make three as a practice run 

but somehow we picked up pace and six were born.

I wonder if these old embroideries once helped ease troubled times?

It seems right that they have become angels.

When they're off duty...

they can unbutton their wings because

every Granny Angel deserves some down time.

She won't forsake me...

I'm loving angels instead.

Can you feel it?

I'm not feeling festive yet, are you?

 I know that Christmas has landed but I'm struggling to feel it...

perhaps once Halloween is over I'll find some magic.

I have been trying to revive a few larger bits for Saturday's market.

A child's garden chair got a quick refresh.

Pat likes to model the makeovers.

I have a waiting list for 2 dolls houses

 but I haven't got very far.

I found Pat a couple of new friends...

( I really enjoyed dressing them...is that so wrong?)

but she prefers Melvin.

 Melvin likes to model too, I think they have a lot in common.

Fingers crossed!

Perhaps a festive troll and a bowl of bells will bring on the jingle?

 I've made a start...

and this might help...

I caught these two jiving in the kitchen...

Back to the real world...

Logs delivered,

Chimney swept clean.

Thermals sorted,

Chilblains foreseen.

Hope you find some jingle.
Thanks for popping in.

EITHER WAY, YOU HAD BETTER...

Seasonal Shenanigans

The wind is blowing quite a gale

And summer's looking rather frail.

There's icy pellets at my door

And strangers lying on the shore.

Did I see autumn rushing through?

Has winter pushed and jumped the queue?

Goodbye summer 2014... you were great.

In other news...

Pat survived market day

so I get to keep her for another month

but her best mate went to a new home.

I told him not to peak too soon

but he wouldn't listen

and now he's gone...

Pat Tested

There was a young troll called Pat,

Who thought she was just plastic tat

But with a heart full of hope

And a bucket of soap,

She now grins like a Cheshire cat.

This moment I'm filling with sorrow

As I know she was only to borrow

But she's now my best mate

And I'm in a right state

As she's going to market tomorrow.
