A Doll A Day for April: Day Three - Everlee Rose Morgan


Today's doll for today is Everlee Rose Morgan, my 1970s Sasha.


She is one of my favourite Sasha dolls...but shhh don't tell the rest.


The garden is looking pretty


So is Everlee Rose.


She has such a lovely face.


I don't know who made her outfit as it was given to me.


But she looks good in it.

A Doll A Day for April: Day Two - Chrissa/Chrissy


Chrissa or as I call her Chrissy is a Girl of the Year American Girl from 2009.
She is wearing a dress I knitted 12 years ago. 



I changed her into something brighter for the spring, another knitted dress.


She is so cute.

A Doll A Day for April - Lindsey

I am going to attempt to do A Doll A Day for the Month of April... that is the goal anyway.  Lindsey, my 2001 American Girl doll wanted to do the honours of starting the month off.  

She is wearing a fun little Mickey Mouse dress with a matching bag.


She looks lovely in the sunshine.


She has of course chosen a pair of matching red sandles.


Lindsey Bergman, a Girl of the Year, was released in June 2001 and has the Classic face mold.  
I think she is really cute.

Sewing for March

 I have been doing a little sewing the last week of March, it is good to feel up to sewing again.


I made a couple of these dresses, one for myself, and one for a friend.


This dress I made for my grand daughter - I have a little brunette Les Cherie Corolle doll that I will be giving her for her birthday in June with a little wardrobe of clothes.


This I made for a friend, she likes hot air balloons.


This dress I made for another friend who sent me the fabric, oh gosh, a long time ago!


I made this little dress for Wren.


I made two Easter dresses, the one above for me and the one below for a friend.



I made this dress for my Barbie Bestie doll.


Lastly I made this little dress for my Not a Blythe Blythe.

Mothering Sunday - Mother's Day & A New Dress for Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue has been neglected, well not exactly neglected, but has not had a look in for ages, so time to remedy that, starting with a new dress.


I thought this sea horse fabric would be fun.  I made the wrong bodice than I had planned, but it still looks good on her.  A little cardigan will set it off nicely, so that may be next on my creating list.


She seems pretty happy with it as she poses in front of the daffodils.


She is so special, I do love this doll very much.


As we celebrate Mothering Sunday - Mother's Day here in the UK, I wonder how many Mother's Days she has seen over the years in the different families she has lived in.

A Little Get Together at the Seaside

Thursday morning we spent a couple of hours with some friends down at the beach.


The boys went riding on their Vespas


Nelson took the bike, but Tom prefers his skateboard


Patrick and Gordon share their bike
 

So off they go quite happily until....


They spot Wren...oops!

Did you ASK to use my Vespa Nelson?

Perhaps it is time to move on to someone else, and leave them to their discussions...


Henry came too, this must be one of the first outings he has done in a very long time.


I think he enjoyed himself...well at least until a little later...


They all pose for a group photo.


Little Button Mushroom joins in.


I think Helen is interested in the boys!


Poor Henry doesn't look very happy here...he is dripping wet as he fell backwards into the water!


The girls show where they are on the map.

Pretty Flowers in the Garden with Wren

 What a beautiful day for Wren to have a wander around the garden to look at the flowers.
