However, to paraphrase, 'tomorrow is another month' so I solemnly pledge not to lose September in the ether.
I always think of September 1st as the first day of autumn, which in my head always consists of September/October/November. That said, summer days can persist right into October, but the leaves are already on the turn, conkers are burgeoning on the trees and the nights are noticeably drawing in.
This year I feel a bit like that grasshopper from Aesop's Fables, who idles away the summer months while the industrious ant gathers food to sustain it through the winter. Granted I have been busy... just not always with what I should have been doing.
That said, I have just finished a complete 'Workshop in a Box' for the lovely ladies of a miniaturist club in Belfast.
They opted to make a Deluxe Jumeau-Style Toy Doll with pleated dress, bustled jacket and elaborate silk and lace bonnet.....

Their workshop box contains everything they need to complete their chosen project, including:
- Sample dressed doll for reference
- Comprehensive tools and materials checklist
- Set of fully illustrated step-by-step instruction booklets for each club member
- Selection of kit packs in assorted colours
- Wigging packs
- Organiser's pack which contains 'spares', workshop schedule, hints & tips etc
The club will also have access to an exclusive video tutorial which will take them through the complete process of dressing and wigging their little doll, step-by-step.
So.... whether you're a member of an organised miniatures club, or one of a small group of friends who get together to make miniatures, if you would like further information on my 'Workshop in a Box' packs, please contact me for further information.
