Fashion on Friday

Madeline thought it would be appropriate to show off her boot collection today for the 'Fashion on Friday' posting.  

She has amassed quite an array of colours!

There is one colour in particular she would like to add to this collection when/if they become available and that is a pair of purple boots...because all discerning doll fashionista must have a pair of purple boots!

I still haven't done any sewing, although do have some projects planned and am hoping to make a start on those next week.  These projects include the Mini AG/Doll SAL/KAL on Ravlery - I am going to be making a little wardrobe for a Madeline doll for a friends's daughter in New Zealand.

I would like to join in with one of the Bleuette Sewing Challenges and Hitty - I need to catch up with both these groups as have fallen WAY behind.

My priority though will probably be designing and making a collection for Lewis...I have a few ideas and need to do some research.

I have done some knitting though.  

A vest knitted with some of my favourite NZ Merino, Possom and Alpaca Wool, this time in a green which I think suits him really well.

Of course he needed a cap.

Plus some socks.  He has borrowed a pair of shorts from the Gregor lads to show of his socks.

I've knitted a sweater which Donny is making.  This may go in my Etsy shop.

Plus I added some owls to the vest pattern.

This time in the Arapawa fleece I have.

Albert also got a new cardigan/jacket.  The first thing I have made for him, so he was pretty pleased.

A few other things were knitted - some flowers - I test knitted a pattern for these and another jacket not shown here.

Blue Monday on Tuesday!

Not arriving in time for a 'Blue Monday' post, Peggy Sue still wanted to wear her new blue coat and blue boots.

Stevie comes up to her.  What are you doing?  She asks.

I'm tying up my new boots.  It isn't easy you know.  Peggy Sue tells her.

It is quite a stretch to reach my feet!  

Aren't they pretty? She asks Stevie.  They have little flowers on the side.

I guess so Stevie replies, but I prefer purple!

I don't really mind what colour.  I just like coats and boots!  But especially coats.  Peggy Sue tells her.

Coats are good, they keep you warm when you go outside.

Stevie tells Peggy Sue that she has no intention going outside during the winter!  It is far too cold!

But that is why you need coats!  Peggy Sue informs her.

Peggy Sue sets off for a walk.

She spots a bird on the bird feeder.

Don't worry, I won't get my new boots muddy.  She informs me.

I'm going to stick to the path today.

A little later on she is back inside in the warm playing in her bedroom with Stevie.

The girls are playing with some dolls.

What is your doll called?  Peggy Sue asks.

I don't know yet.  Stevie says as she thinks of a name.

I like this one though as she has a purple pinafore on.

So she does!  Peggy Sue says as she smiles and thinks to herself...that the little doll also has a blue jumper on!
