While the Jack's away I will play!

Well Jack has just left to go to his son's place to help with some work around the house. He is staying overnight. So it's gonna be dolly time here big time. I plan to finally rearrange the Loftonians in their cabinets and that means taking them all out! I will have the whole house to myself and so I can spread themout all over the place. I am tingling with anticipation. I'm going to keep this blog open during the day so I can add things as I go along.

Well it took me 2.5 hours to empty all the cabinets! Every Loftonian is out (in the living room and kitchen) and most of the Silkies are out too. I don't think I will have enough time for redressing but I will have a bit of a play with them. The ones that are in the kitchen are looking longingly out to the back yard. They wonder why I am not taking them out to play.
It is a gorgeous day out there. T-shirt weather! I sat on the deck for 20 minutes while I crocheted a square and took in some rays of Vit. D I dread coming down here to the Dungeon and am seriously thinking of moving my computer up to the kitchen. The kitchen in this house is huge! I haven't had a kitchen this big since 1985!

Okay so the pix took. I did have to phone Jack to find out how to download them on his computer. Turns out I was trying to plug the camera into the wrong opening Duh! But now at least you will see a few of the dolls.
Here's some of the Silkies on the Bravad (Swedish/Ikea for island counter) in the kitchen.

And here's a few standing around in the living room.

And a whole bunch more sitting on the couch.

I couldn't get the ones standing in front of the window as they just silhouetted because of the light behind them. I know better and should have closed the blind more.

Anyway I'm gonna have a bite to eat and play some more then I'm off to Walmart. It's time I changed the placemats on my kitchen table from snow men to something more spring like. 
Oh and before I forget there will be 3 more Loftonians coming to town soon. I ordered 3 Ellowynes last night. One blonde, raven/brunette and of course a redhead. They are the latest set out. With our dollar higher than the U.S. it's almost a bargain even with shipping and of course duty. Our anniversary is in 3 weeks that will be my gift as Jack already got his b-b-que. And it means I can change one of my lottery numbers, maybe it will bring better luck than the ones I'm using now. Anyway time to play!

You have some lovely dolls Jane, it was interesting looking at them all waiting for a swap around. Hope you find some nice new table mats.

Can you believe I forgot about the table mats until your post! I can be absent minded at times. LOL
