we made it there and back! safely and sanely! hurrah.
we had a lovely time, gorged on cheap Hawke's Bay fruit, met some blog readers and got to (briefly) catch up with some super special friends.
meeting Anna's new little person, Nathan, was definitely a highlight:
(Danny is baby-crazy!)
on the Thursday morning before we left (when i should have been packing) i thought i'd quickly whip up a doll for wee Nate.
ha!
whip-up's turn out to be either just that...or the total opposite. you guessed it, this time it was the latter.
it took precisely a million years longer than intended and ended up being the singularly MOST UGLY doll i have ever made.
not for a moment was i tempted to actually give it to Nate. (their dog, yes - but not the baby!!)
curious? wanna see?
here you go:
//shudder//
it was supposed to be pirate-ish but i kept having this overwhelming urge to add a french moustache...
..and then i realised its only salvation would probably to be reincarnated as a french female doll.
what do you think?
ha ha, this had me laughing outloud. Classic! The dolls not even that bad. He's long and lean which fits with Nate well. :) Kinda like the mo too. Glad you guys got home safe and sound. 4 Hours isn't too bad aye? By the way how do you link up to other's blogs like you've done. I wanted to link to you when I talked about my hippy friend but wasn't sure how. Now that I'm well and truly hooked on blogging and getting inspired by some very talented people I'm going to need to know how to link up when I steal their ideas- giving credit where it's due and all that. Love ya. P.s. You make pregnancy look so glam. you looked stunning!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like him. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dee! Glad you enjoyed your time in the Bay - sorry we didn't catch you (we were thinking of coming to the graduation thingy to support some friends but had a busy day on Sat at a 3 year olds birthday.) By the sounds you had a pretty busy time :) - Also funny thing is that I clicked over to Anna'a blog (wondering if I knew her from church) and saw a picture of her son, Oliver who looks sooo familiar. Then I realised that he is the little boy whom my son played so well with last week at Noah's first kindy visit! Small world! Jenny :)
ReplyDeletehahahah you totally need to let his inner girl out, I'm pretty sure she would look very chic!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no I like him! He's long and lean like my brother! I think he would look awesome with the mo and is def a french guy!
ReplyDeleteps. glad you had a great time :) x
I literally LOL'd!! I actually like this doll! Its long and skinny and rather handsome. Glad you had fun in my hometown and got to meet some good people:)
