Hi Linda,

This is Natascha so glad people are wakening up!

Yes I have had a clean up!  But I am doing a garage sale

on a different scale!  I have so much its not funny!

Have taken more pics on the weekend and have looked

at Christines dolls!  I hope shes feeling a little better I love

how she battles on, the work that she is putting in the costuming

God Love her its actually very awesome!  I'm quiten taken by it!

I have done a study on traditional costumes and I want to try what

shes actually trying to achieve!  Sounds like good fun!  I love the workmanship

and the meaning of it!  You can see how shes improving so much and her

work is becoming quite a work of art!

I have pulled out a doll an Antique Reproduction Jumeau, large size so that I will

go thoroughly over her and show you all step by step  and why I am doing it so!

I am doing a lot of surface embellishing I bought a book from the US and am

co-operating it with my work!  I thought if we can all show and tell and help

one another where help needs, or even have a go ourselves, we may learn from

each other like going to classes sometimes you learn from each other as well as the

teacher!  Like I have and am learning what Christine's trying to achieve!  Thank you Christine

you have opened my eyes!  and you too Linda want to see what you are up to stage by stage!

I am now building up my web putting things in just like a shop!  That even things that are not

obtainable will be!   Hope to hear from you......Natascha   just keep watching I'll upload her

so you can see stage by stage she doesn't look so good at the moment!  But  she will!

Hi Christine and everyone else!  Thanks for breaking the drought, Christine.  Seems like we haven't written for ever.  I don't know what I've been doing...but I've been busy. Oh, yes, I remember now..we had 4 garage sales  My- oh -my  were we ever swamped.  [in case you don't have them in your part of the world, it is when you clean out every nook and cranny plus attic, garage, barn, potting shed.....well you get the idea and put it all for sale on your lawn at ridiculously low prices.  You would not believe the junk people will buy!] Then when we finished with that I packed up 6 boxes of books and old quilts to send to my sister to sell on ebay.   I have 3 boxes to go to my 'baby' group.  whew...I'm tired all over again!   But now I feel energized that I have all my 'toys' out where I can see and reach everything.  Soooo, guess I'll get to work.   Have any of you been showing dolls, or  finishing up projects?  Is everyone doing OK otherwise?  Let us know if you are in need of prayer or encouragement. Love ,   Linda in Ky www.godlyheritagemi nistries. org
