You can never have enough...

[JanW]

Good morning all - I am obsessive with my crafts and itÔÇÖs funny when you read posts how memories pop into your brain - when I used to make cloth dolls was always on the look out for bits and pieces that would be handy - had a room full of all sorts - when we moved to Oz had moved on from cloth dolls to blankets so decided to sell my stash on trademe -i kept one plastic bin of special stuff but made over 5k in sales
I was making a cloth doll and got the idea in my head I wanted russet coloured hair - so dyed some alpaca curls in a mixture of tea walnuts etc etc - turned out beautiful after much experimenting so laid it out on the table of our sheltered patio to dry - went out a couple of hours later and it was gone - I was in a panic so the old boy joined in the search -we had a house below us and he spied it hanging in their large walnut tree - of course his telling me to start again caused more drama - so down he went with his ladder - risked life and limb and rescued my precious hair - she turned out beautiful - if any of you have seen any of Jill Maas cloth doll patterns it was one of her patterns - great days
