Lalaloopsy, some rust and a 60p curry.

 Lalaloopsy is originally a raggy doll that came to life as she was sewn. I did not know this. I found this odd looking doll in Oxfam. She had no price...so I asked. £1.00 was the answer.

 okay . good. great in fact. so I went and got £1.00 from Lee my husband who was in the  handyman shop.....he does that......Lee was buying stuff that men buy for vans and general in a workshop.....so distracted by screws and sanding pads he absently gave me the £1.00.
I knitted her a dress and restyled her hair.......

 This is how she was in the charity shop.........

So home we went with our purchases. happy and going to work on our projects.
Lee has been working on decommissioned Rusty the van. Rusty has been designed, and is now a white van again....to get off the signs ...lee has had to rub poor old rusty over with petrol................... bear in mind here that Lee smokes like a demon.
The glue behind his sign writing is almost impossible to remove...we tried most stuff...then Lee came up with petrol......this does work, is very smelly and please do not have a ciggy hanging out of your mouth whilst doing this.

Over to Otley we went today. We got Mr Dog a bone, visited the charity shops and bought some embroidery threads......embroidery threads!? ...yes. wait and see!
Some dolls i did not buy were a Barbie with chewed hands and huge earrings and a singing princess who sounded like a gerbil.
we stopped off and bought a 60p curry.......yellow creole curry sauce......a creamy Seychelles style sauce perfectly blended with coconut.........

I can tell you that it is yum.
the rust bit is not so good.
lee started poking around under the bump strips, and found total rust..this would be rust rotten holes. So this is where the rusty marks are running from.
