OMG it's June!

Hello to everyone!

Sorry for the radio silence, we have literally been crocheting 24/7 for months, trying to get everything done. We are a bit behind, but I promise you, if I could crochet on the toilet I would!! I know many of you have received your rewards by now, but please bare with us if you are still waiting.

In amongst the yarn fest, I have been trying to get Dolly sorted too of course. I have been concentrating on the soft furnishings as I didn't want to start the painting of the vehicle until she was finished at the garage (whelding etc can ruin your wallpaper lol). Sadly the garage trip got delayed (not our fault) so that put us a few weeks behind, but hey ho, we've learnt to roll with the punches!

Once she's back with me and the rewards are done it will be full steam ahead with painting, wallpapering and spray painting her! I literally can not wait! I promise to keep you posted with pictures etc as she unfolds. Don't forget to look at Dolly's Facebook page for more updates and pictures. https://www.facebook.com/thedollyadventures/

I can't thank you all enough for your generosity and patience, this has been an epic project and it's not over yet, in fact it's really only just begun.

Love to you all, I'm off back to the crochet. No rest for the wicked.

Justine and Dolly xxx
