I love what I do, although I write the magazine and sell supplies my favourite bit of my job is making dolls. It's the part of my life that brings me the most contentment and the most calm and sometimes my job is frustrating and slow work and hard but then every now and again it's downright dreadful, frustrating and depressing. But the best bit is providing a bit of happiness for someone else.
Yesterday I sent off Rowena, a very special baby who has been a slow job for me... I have been lucky that the lady that ordered her was so patient with me and allowed me the time I needed to get Rowena looking the way I wanted her to.
I actually felt a pang of sadness seeing Rowena packed up in her box.
I think I will miss this little lady, she has been a real labour of love for me, I wanted to make a doll that this very special lady would love and treasure. It makes a massive difference knowing a baby is going off to someone you consider a friend.
