Where have I been......

Sorry I haven't been around......

I've been looking after my mother, who had a nasty fall down her stairs at home.

She Fractured her back, broke her Hand and has damaged her right eye..( double vision ).

Six weeks on and she's back at home, looking forward to a weeks holiday.

My mother has shown such strength and determination, I'm very proud of her..

Love you Mum. x❤️x

Found These Dolls

Lalylala Dolls By Lydia Tresselt.

I have been on Ravelry.com for quite a while now, and I have noticed these Dolls in a group called

Lalylala hooked up.

I've stood on the side lines, admiring the beautiful creations other people have made.
After a few weeks / months of wishing....I finally built up the confidence to buy,
BINA The Bear, by Lydia Tresselt

Each Doll Has it's very own story...

This is BINA'S STORY.

Bina shares a cozy two-room apartment with his pet - a golden brown honey bee (she already learned how to roll over, play dead and fetch pollen-balls!). Bina works as a babysitter for the kids in his neighborhood. He loves salmon sushi and hot chocolate. On sunny afternoons, BINA goes to the forest to hug his favorite trees. Because he doesn't like any kind of winter sports, Bina makes an extended nap from autumn until spring!

So here we go my very First Laylala Doll.

This doll is handmade by ...( craftypaulaa )...

from a design and pattern by lalylala handmade . Lydia Tresselt / www.lalylala.com“.

This pattern is so easy to read and understand.

Her illustrations are perfect, each part of BINA is broken down into its own category...ie...Head, Hood, hands and Arms..I think you get the idea......

I don't know why I hesitated buying her Patterns, I soppose I just didn't think I had the confidence or the Experience, to tackle such a beautiful Doll.

So now I'm on a roll, here is my Second Attempt , using BINA as a Template. I modified abit....Added little Extra's...

Welcome to POLLY MOP.....

Adding Extra's Always makes it look abit more Special........

So now I'm on a roll, it seems to me that these Dolls are truly addictive........
