Peggy Sue's Quote for the Day

Autumn Leaves

Peggy Sue enjoys an afternoon walk with Little Owen through the Autumn leaves...

She has spent the morning going through her Autumn and Winter clothes and found something more suitable to wear for the cooler weather.

Although the morning was very wet with rain, by this afternoon the rain had cleared up enough for her to enjoy some fresh air with her best friend and companion.

Last two Makies Arrive - The White Duo

So back on 10th September I ordered my last two Makie dolls, this time in white as mentioned in this post here.

After what seemed a very long time - certainly longer than the usual two weeks, they arrived this morning - perfect timing as it turned out for a very rainy day and being stuck inside.

So I took my time as I really wasn't sure what I would think of these two when they finally arrived.

One box....

Two tubes...

Two Makies....

Hmm....

Well....part of me wonders just what WAS I thinking when I designed these two?

The girls make up is rather overdone and lopsided but she certainly has a determined look about her.

Not sure if this guy really wants to wave hello or tell me to back off...

I decided to change her wig and prefer her with this white wig.

They could be twins I guess?  Certainly related.

Wet afternoons are perfect for sewing so I made her a dress

Which really shows how 'slapped' her cheeks look!  I will have to wash this off.

I think the boy is going to be a doctor of some kind.

My husband thinks he will be great in one of my Scooby Doo stories.

Not quite sure just what type of doctor he is though!

Having seen pictures of the new bodies now I have to say I am SO glad I ordered these when I did.  The new bodies might be more easy to pose and slightly more flexible, but I really don't like them at all.  

Not quite sure how these two will develop yet and just 'who' they are.  They need names as there 'Makie Lab' names are really not what I would choose.

I had toyed with the idea of dying them.  I quite fancy a bright sunshine yellow Makie, but I don't think I can - these two will stay white I think.

Swinging and Balancing

Peggy Sue was thrilled to find her swing chair had its own special platform today...this means that she can swing on it any time of year now.

Work has been done in the garden and new edging put into place ready to be dug in....Peggy Sue thought it was good raised like this as she could practice her balancing skills.

Balancing requires deep concentration

Confidence

and of course the will to succeed.

Wandering with Wren - Audley End

Wren enjoyed a lovely Autumn Day's wander around the grounds of English Heritage Audley End today.

The sky was perfectly blue.

There was hardly anyone around.

It really was quite perfect.

The back of the house

Side view.

After quite a wander Wren and Nelson stopped to rest for a while

Before exploring some more.

Wren was quite fascinated with the succulents growing on the rocks.

She wonders whether she could make some kind of rockery at home.  Nelson thinks it will be quite possible to do.

They admire some of the beautiful flowers.

The pumpkins and gourds are set out to dry out for an Autumn Harvest display.

Nelson and Wren were fascinated by the different shapes and colours.

Wren loves the colour purple and was surprised to see the aubergine.

The looked at the different varieties of apples.

More pretty flowers in the garden.

Wren enjoyed the sunlight, flowers and fresh air!

The water was beautifully clear and Wren enjoyed watching the young swan for a while.

Bottoms up!

All in all a perfect day out.
