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.

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.

 

Advent 2023 - Day Twenty Two

Serena has asked Helen to help her today

They look for the door

and quickly have the gift out ready to open.

Oh what are these?

The look like little toys for the sack.

Sure enough that is where the girls have put them.

Father Christmas is all ready to deliver the gifts.

These two are quite the characters.

Helen was my bargain find in a charity shop in NZ in 2019.

She is quite sassy.

 

Wandering with Wren to find a Mermaid!

Wren is going wandering today to see if she can find a mermaid

Off she goes down the path through the woods

She follows it along...

until she spies the sea.

at the top of the steps she pauses a while...

to take in the view.

She looks around to see if she can spot a mermaid as she has heard you can sometimes see them early in the morning.

She spies a cormorant.

Aha, what does she see?

With her camera at the ready 

She spots a little mermaid on the rocks.

Wren watches quietly and takes some photos...

The little mermaid then changes position.

It looks like she is sunning herself in the early morning sunshine.

She stops on the rocks for a little longer...

before the call of the sea

beckons her back to the deep.

What a lovely way to spend the morning.

This was for the Youtube Blythe Mermaid Collaboration that I took part in.
