THURSDAY
Yesterday my fabrics turned up from America so I was really happy - new deigns for my dolls clothes.
One lady managed to get 12 yards in one envelope - truly amazing as 1/2 was flannel which is thicker than cotton - the norm is 8 yards - so I shall be busy adding new design appliqués to items that I'm making.

OH NO what has Mills done - the  reel of elastic that I gave her to cut into 10 inch lengths is NOT so I will be busy piecing !!! Sometimes its just quicker to do the job yourself.

I was busy in my sewing room until 11:15pm last night as my machine was playing up and I did not get much as I wanted to during the day and when in the afternoon I found that the elastic was too short I was totally FED UP to say the least - never mind all is done and corrected now.

BEST NEWS _ (apart from my fabrics turning up of course)
Checked my emails before going to bed last night 11:50pm and I had received a shop order for 3 outfits :)

FRIDAY
Found a site to get my sewing machine oil at a good price and also my natural hair dye turned to today.

Sewing up t-shirts today and made up another Scooby Doo dress and machined around the appliques ready to send out.

Finished off dolly outfits with appliqués and bows and started packaging them up for the craft fayre. I must say they look really good in the packaging so I just hope they will sell.

Food shopping for the weekend.

My Ebay sales didn't do to bad I sold three items £6.50, £8.02 and £2.90

Friday fairy brought me Just the Right words I wish i had that Weds as it would have come in handy for a New Home card that I was sending.

Still sewing away

Finished a customer alteration taking in a skirt ready for collection tomorrow,

Started packaging up and trimming the outfits I have made ready for the xmas craft /shopping evening.

Listed another three dolls outfits on Ebay- all three sold today - so far since listing I have only had 3 go unsold - 2 which I re-listed and sold. So all is going well although at the moment it looks a bit depressing as not many are bid on - but they are been watched!!!!
