Introducing Dorothy.

 I don't think I have ever really done a proper post of Dorothy my lovely 16/317 Open and Close Eyes Miss Dolly.  She has been with me over three years now.  She is wearing a nautical outfit I made a few years ago. 

Such a lovely fresh looking face.

She is in really lovely condition so she doesn't tend to feature much in my stories as I am scared of 'injuring' her!  

A Puppet Show

On the Schoenhut Cafe we are having a little August photo competition...it can be summer themed, or winter depending on what part of the hemisphere you live!  I wanted to do a summer theme, but August hasn't quite been as conducive as I had hoped weather wise, but today I managed to take a few photos of the Schoenhut children watching a puppet show. 

Peggy Sue presents a puppet show for the children

She tells the story....

They all watch intently

completely enthralled by the show.

Rebekah Grace gasps with excitment

A great way to enjoy a bank holiday Monday afternoon.

Five on Friday

Just a quick snapshot today of Five on Friday due to the weather not being the best!  As in too wet to photograph outside.

Edith, Clara, Astrid, Janice and Dorothy

New Year's Eve Pyjama Party

How better to spend New Year's Eve than with friends.

A fairly simple event this year, they have already gobbled up all the food and are chatting before settling down to watch a movie.

Everlee and Nisha are deep in conversation

Someone has fallen asleep already!  Dorothy is resting up on Chrissy's lap.

Perhaps she is going to wake just before midnight?

Some lively discussion about what to watch.

Sienna Saige chats to Peggy Sue

Looks like I caught Anne-Marie's eye when I sneaked up to take these photos of them.

Will they all make it to midnight or will more fall asleep like Dorothy?
