As I sit here typing with my one good hand (the wrong one!) I'm wondering why it is I'm so lost without being able to make something. It's very frustration having to sit still with nothing in my hands, but I guess that if I'm good my fractured elbow will heal all the quicker.
I did consider getting poor Cris to type this for me but my lovely husband has already chopped my salad for my lunches all week and helped me set up to take photos and do my ironing. He's so good to me xxx
Anyway, I did manage to add the last details to Prunella so wanted to introduce her too you. Next I'm going to carry on with a dolls crochet shawl / blanket as it's the only thing that I can do right now while keeping my elbow bent and still. Hopefully I'll be able to sew something later in the week as I have tons of ideas :)

Prunella likes to hide among the pumpkins during the cool autumn
evenings watching the twilight come down through the branches of the trees
while the little bats flit around and look like they are chasing the stars. It’s
her reward to have her quiet times sitting on the soft leaves among the pumpkins
after working hard to make sure that each and every growing orange ball is
healthy and happy under their big floppy leaves. Halloween is coming soon and
the smell of pumpkin pie cooling on windowsills is one of Prunella’s favorite
things. Once all are full grown and ready for picking she’ll be able to relax
for a little while before she has to go back to work again preparing the earth
and looking after the seeds ready for them to be planted and grow slowly into
all of the new plants for next year,
Prunella has stripped green drawers and a burgundy cotton lawn shift
under the layers of her dress. She has a puff ball skirt held out with ruffles
and an overskirt made of layered petals trimmed in lace and embroidery, dotted
with tiny sparkling beads just like her jacket. Silk leaves and curly fronds add
more layers, as well as a warm straw colored crochet shawl. On her head Prunella
wears a tall traditional Welsh style hat made of green silk and decorated with
lace, ribbon and more leaves and fronds. She looked like she needed a
comfortable seat so I made her a nice large pumpkin to sit on decorated in the
same way as her dress.
