Sanity restored.....

I sincerely apologise for the outrageous rant in my last post.  

It was completely unprofessional to give vent to my feelings in such an unnecessarily violent way.  My outburst was a complete overreaction and mostly  completely unwarranted.    I've calmed down and given myself a good talking to and it won't happen again.

The fact that I can plead mitigating circumstances, not to mention provocation above and beyond human endurance is neither here nor there.  I shouldn't let Humpty Dumpty, or any other inanimate porcelain character, to wind me up to such an extent that I lose all sense and reason.

So.

Moving on.... 


Following that Humpty Dumpty debacle, regrettable incident, I tidied away all the soft-cleaning equipment, then decided to do something uplifting and life affirming.  Last week I'd been working on some little shabby chic toy dolls, some of which just needed their final finishing touches.... a curl here, silk ribbon bow there.  So I spent a happy half-hour making some tiny silk ribbon bows and arranging mini coiffures.


Et voila........

Here they are waiting to be photographed individually for their certificates, before settling into their boxes.

I take pains to ensure that they look as good from the back as they do from the front.....

I really enjoy making these little shabby chic toy dolls.  They make a refreshing change from my more structured Jumeau style dolls in their pleated dresses or silk jackets.

They also provide soothing balm for a troubled soul.
