I have just returned from a week away at the little island I grew up on, Mersea Island on the Essex coastline. It was beautiful weather the whole holiday which was fantastic - usually it rains on my days off! I stayed in a caravan which was fun. The last time I stayed in a caravan was when I was 15. I walked around the island alot, and it brought back lots of memories of growing up there. It was a happy childhood spent by the sea. Above is a photo of one of the many houseboats near the hard. This one was made even more amazing with the addition of its own garden and shed. It looks like its about to fall over with the weight!
I managed to finish Mary the Morris Dancing art doll before I left.
She was presented to the real life Mary from the Dartmoor Border Morris this weekend. I was pleased with the final result but I think I could have carried on forever with more details.
I was delighted to receive some ATC's from the Snow Queen swap organized by The Faerie Zine on Flickr. Aren't they fantastic!:

My sister also made me an ATC inspired by The Owl and the Pussy Cat. When we were children our mother used to take part in Puppet Shows and this was one of the stories that the puppets performed.
She also bought me a little book to put all my ATC's in. Thanks Karen x

Mary the Morris Dancer art doll and Ally's blog was mentioned at the Dartmoor Border Morris bag spot at the Who'd Have Thought It pub at Milton Coombe this week, it was said that Mary's stripy socks were famous now!
