The tree is up - lovingly decorated by young family members in the 'more is more and then some more' tradition!!!!! I do hanker after silver simplicity ... but would rather have my young helpers.....
There are some bashed and elderly trinkets that make an appearance every year, because Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without them. The star was a gift from a special friend. My warmest Christmas wishes, with affection, to special friends.
I'm sure other doll maker friends are also asked which is their favourite commission - it's difficult to choose, but mine is usually the last one. Another day, another year it may be a different character, but for now this is my favourite! I hope you like him too.The 1/12th scale REME Major in Regimental Mess uniform was a special commission and both a challenge and joy to make - he's also a timely reminder that many will be a long way from home and those they love this year.
May I wish you all a Very Happy Christmas and a Lovely and Peaceful New Year and thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings in 2011.

A very special warm christmas wish for you and yours Robin. Love your proud service-man, I think he's one of your best.
feliz navidad!
He is lovely and I love the decorating of the tree with more and more and more. :) Miss 20 decided to do ours in silver elegance this year -something I too have wanted the past few years, but now I'm a bit sad for those special sentimental decorations which remained in the box.
The Major looks amazing, so detailed, well done.
He is lovely Robin. Merry Christmas xxx
