never let it be said.....

that i don't do housework! here is the almost truth with my loulou doll that i made years ago. in fact i made one of each of us but could only find me today. i was scrubbing out the salvaged dollhouse and thought how happy i was to do that but not attend to the real thing! i ended up having a fine old time as i dusted off loulou and made an apron, head scarf and mop. then i figured she just had to have stockings and shoes painted on. this set prairie off on the same kind of doll she had started a while ago and had only got as far as the pants. after the cinderella act i found some test pots of very pale pink that we had for prairie's room so i started painting out the old paint job. it was a beautiful autumnal day and we spent most of it out on the deck. i have been thinking about my finds and realise that i have a thing for dwellings. we have a quite a few dollhouses dotted around and some beautiful little ornamental birdcages and houses. then heres something that you didn't know..... i am the basket queen of the antipodes. some of, if not all my dear grilfriends think i am a crazy woman! is a basket not just another dwelling?

i have to go and cook dinner now as i can't convince loulou to do it. have a lovely weekend!

Love the alter ego - what else does she do Lou? Wouldn't it be nice if she could cook the dinner and keep the house whilst we just blogged and skyped all day long?

Pretty apron. I love the bubbles in the bucket, looks like she is ready to get those floors sparkling.

Oh I love Loulou and her beautiful little apron! Amy has a lovely Dolls house but I think I have more fun playing with it than she does!
