Getting ready for the dark nights...

Firstly, 
here's a dark knight.


Feel better?

Secondly,
(to bring some of you up to speed)
I'm co-writing a novel
with the writer, B.R. Marsten

 B. R. Marsten and I would be delighted
if you could pop over and have a (free) read.

We'd love to know if you can read it on your device,
and if you enjoy it.

What's it about? 

It's the picaresque adventure
of a woman of low repute,
Mabel Bunt.
I'd insert a picture of Mabel here,
but all I have are rough sketches.




That's ok.
 Mabel is a pretty rough kind of girl,
living in a changing world;
a world that has corsets and daggers and masks.



(Yes, there'll probably be a doll, too.)


Thirdly,
I'm having a lot of fun with my 


I'll be making them all the way to Halloween!

I've had a couple of lovely people 
commission a dolls' tea set,
which is a delightful idea.



I'm open to all kinds of suggestions,
and if there's something special you'd like
just let me know.

Hot tea and a book to read.
That's one of the best things
about long dark nights.

    A new doll based on yours and Bens imaginations, can't wait!!!

    1. I'd be happy for him to do that. :) I get to cast the heroes, right? As for the Mabel doll, you're going to have to give me some input for something other than her huge assets. *waves hands in the air in a curvy shape*

  4. I have the teaser, the amazing sculpted tea set, and now the chilling temperatures! Perfect staging I'd say!
    On my iPad their are no pic's and I don't think I want pic's ( I could go to laptop) I have already cast your persona and image from the fairy festival!
    Be sure! I will conjure up the appropriate male support!
    Thank you so much for the Over The Top! tea set! and the speedy delivery! to northern Canada! I am still speechless over that!
    Comfy hugs! xoDebi

    1. I an really thrilled that you got the tea set safe and sound! I didn't wonder how well they'd travel. I'm so happy you're pleased with them and it's really nice that the first prototype set went to someone I know. :)

      I know people had some problems viewing Mabel but it was an interesting experiment and thank you very much for taking part!

    1. Thank you so much, Jennifer! I honestly didn't think they'd be so popular! However, Hubby keeps saying I really should embrace my dark and creepy side more! ;)
