Advent 2023 - Day Twenty Three

 

Two sweet babies are going to open the penultimate door

Baby Amelia and her little friend.

Oh girls, what have you got there?

Red Squirrels!

Perfect!

They look good on the little Christmas Scene.

So sweet.

 

Advent 2023 - Day Nine

 

Today Baby Amelia, my first Sasha baby is going to open the Advent Calendar.

She is wearing a little dress I made for her (as all the girls so far have been wearing dresses I made)

She is a little cutie.

Fortunately the door is down nice and low for her.

Wow, that is a big package!

Ta Da, she got the ovens for the bakery

With a little help she got them in place and we put the candle decoration on top.

She peeps at the scene.

I think she is very happy with it.

What a great job you did Amelia.

 

Merry Christmas

All at Rose Cottage, wish our lovely friends and followers, and especially those who leave encouraging comments, a very Happy and Merry Christmas.  May you have a lovely time with family and friends, or even if you spend it on your own.  Blessings to all.

Advent 2018 - Day Fifteen

Molly asks here baby sister Amelia if she would like to open a little window today.

Of course she would, there was certainly no hesitation.

Molly helps Amelia look for the number 15

They finally find it.

Amelia opens the door with Molly's help.

She pulls out the little package

She asks Molly if she really can open it. 

Inside was a little coffee table and a candelabra 

Molly helps Amelia put it on the little scene.  Amelia can't wait to play with it.

It is all looking very decorative.

Trendon Babies on Thursday

I re-introduced my Gotz babies in the 'The Gotz Gang' post, but haven't yet re-introduced the Trendon babies so thought I would do so here, as they don't often get the attention that my other dolls do.

I have five Trendon babies three of whom have been with me since 2011, one since 2012 and lastly one arriving in 2015.

Baby Alfie has been with me since 2011.  He is an early sexed baby boy with raised eyelids.  Alfie is wearing an outfit I knitted him.  Babies in the first five years of production (1970 - 75) had raised or moulded eyelids. 

Amelia has also been with me since 2011 and is an early sexed baby girl with raised eyelids.  Amelia is wearing her little Festival outfit gift we were sent this year.

Baby Grace is another early sexed baby with raised eyelids.  She has a very tight head of curls.  Grace is wearing an outfit we got at last years Festival I think it was.  She would originally have come in a 'White Suit' and dates from 1972 - 75.

Baby Ginger George is one of my 'Sailor Gang' .  He is from 1985 - 86.

This scally-wag gave poor Peggy Sue the runaround when he first arrived in 2015, and has continued to do so ever since...rarely seen with clothes on, his name is Baby Barney Bam-Bam, or often simply just 'Baby'.  He is an early sexed baby boy with raised eyelids.

The babies very much like their Winnie The Pooh toys, playing with the beads and on the rocking horse.  As you can see Baby B BB has clothes on here, a little romper suit that I knitted him...but for how long who knows!

Sasha Festival 2017 - Thank you.

I was probably/possibly one of the first to book for the Sasha Festival that was held this year, it is the highlight of my year.  So you can imagine how devastated I felt when I had to cancel not long before the festival due to terrible pain issues that have got worse since April and are currently still under investigation.  Thanks to the joys of the internet, I enjoyed watching and reading the posts about the Sasha Festival, but couldn't help feeling sad that Henry and I were missing it.  So I was delighted to receive a little package in the post last week.

Henry proudly shows the package.

Inside the box was the Sasha Festival booklet, a pattern, and some cut outs, plus a sweet little outfit that baby Amelia has claimed.

It is such a sweet little outfit.  This lovely outfit was made by the talented Karen W, and I am thrilled to have it!

Amelia is especially taken with the little toy that came with it.

To all who took the time to sign the card, a very big thank you.  It was very special to receive this and to know we were missed as much as we missed all of you.
