The Cadeby Light Railway was a narrow gauge railway in the garden of the rectory in Cadeby, Leicestershire.
In the early 1960s the Reverend Teddy Boston became rector of All Saints' Church, Cadeby. Boston was a lifelong railway enthusiast and wanted to build a miniature railway in his new garden, but the cost proved prohibitive. Instead he searched for a full-sized narrow-gauge locomotive. In 1962 he purchased Pixie, a W.G. Bagnall 0-4-0ST from the Cranford quarry. The quarry owners donated a short length of track and two wagons and the Cadeby Light Railway was opened.
Over the years, the Rev. Boston built an extensive collection of ex-industrial narrow-gauge rolling stock which ran on the extremely short line in his garden. Although the Rev. Boston died in 1986, his widow Audrey kept the railway open for nearly twenty years, holding regular open days. The railway finally closed in 2005; subsequently the majority of the collection has been amalgamated with the Moseley Railway Trust at the Apedale Community Country Park, though it wasn't revealed what happened to Pixie.
This is a very bad picture but I found it a lot of fun to edit and mess around with :D
This took patience, time, yelling at GIMP and lots of Chewits .
Delete later but for now, what do you all think?~
EDIT: comments anyone?!XD

As usual, I can't make up my mind. Poor Pixie, I took off her mohair scalp (seen in pics below)... and tried on these two others that I was planning to put on future custom dolls. And I think I like these better....
D'oh!
And I always wanted a mohair weft scalp too... I guess I can save it for another doll later.
Every year I bring in long whips of ivy vine to use as holiday decorations. Pixie's *very* interested in the process.
Roughly 9" x 9.5" finished. Pattern = my own.
Featuring a little "pixie pocket" for collecting pebbles, bottle caps, acorns...etc.
Fabric I purchased from www.ciaspalette.com/ four years ago.
Lined with a sweet Japanese mini pine needle pattern - lavender on navy...also from CiasPalette.com
I fell into the Pixies just as they broke up as a band. I filled the void with Frank Black the solo artist and shared his fascination with UFOs and geeky culture. This shirt is from his first solo tour. It is still too big for me so I have no idea how I managed to wear it when I was a scrawny teen.
I took this photo that's already in my photostream and played around with it. I got a new lens for my camera, cant wait to get out and play around with it.
