Wedding flowers

Sorry guys that I haven't been posting any but I was making my friend's daughter's wedding artificial real look flowers. They have been done awhile back but I waited for the wedding to happen before I can post them. Here is the photo of the stairs. The bride's bouquet on the stairs as well. I forgot to take a shot of just the bouquet.

My childhood

In our school we had children that came and go. I must have been ten, I don't know how they knew about me having head lies. I never had them at home. The nun took me in that room where we hardly used and she would put stinky stuff in my head cover it with white towel for awhile and she would pick the lies, like the gorilla and then brush with special black comb. I don't know who else had it they were nice about it. I bet no one knew I had them. She checked me few times after that and I was all good. I also remember in summer we had to help our gardener he was old and we had to water where he told the nuns. We were pumping water  which we all took turns and some carrying buckets to water the plants were needed, it took forever and it was very tiring. Our snack would be bread and butter and if there was extra the older ones would have it if they were still hungry, that's  how it was. We always played after lunch and dinner and we sang a special song at night which sadly don't remember it. We said prayers in the mornings and at nights, and also before and after meals. I think we were about twenty of us back then. Since our nuns lived on providence my mother used to bring what she had to spare we weren't wealthy but once she brought four of her best chickens and my sister put them in this room where she forgot to tell the man about them. They were locked up for a long time without food and water, they must have been laying eggs and eating them to survive, I know it was a month when someone remembered about them, you know what they lived. Some more of what I can remember next time.

My doll

I've been wanting to make a doll with my own pattern but I always loose the way. I start well and if I unpick that's it. I wanted to make it close to real as possible. I tried to make knees,elbows and chest. I still have to improve around the shoulders. It is not finished yet but I will let you see where I am up to. I still have to do more work to it. I have been working on it every night. I am still thinking how I want her mouth to look like. If I will attach the lips or embroider her lips. I need to do something about her shoes as well add purple and blue to it. I will glue some eye lashes to this doll too. She looks kind of angry with those eyes. I tried to sculpt her face I think I made her look worse.I always challenge myself in trying new stuff . It is not always successful. My dream is to make a pattern of my very own. Maybe I should try simpler toy. The problem with me is I am not creative at all but if I see something I can copy it. I still wish to come up with my cute little toy. I put eye lashes on and embroidered her lips. They came better then I expected. I should get a better needle for that kind of job. I also added frills to her socks and made shoes to match her dress. I know, I know head is bigger in proportion to her body but I wasn't going to make another head.
