Advent 2019 - Day 20

Peggy Sue asks Nomi if she would like to have a turn at opening the calendar today.

Of course she would!

Peggy Sue puts her hand on Nomi's shoulder in a protective manner as she helps her find the door for today.

Having found it, Nomi opens it up and reaches inside. 

She holds out the package to show Peggy Sue.

They take it out of the package and put it together.

It is a little handcart.

This should be useful for the Elves to transport the toys.

They put it down on the scene.

Was that fun?  Peggy Sue asks Nomi.

It was, Nomi shyly replies.

November 1st!

All the Halloween costumes, props and decorations have now been packed away for another year and the girls have changed into other clothing.   It is so difficult to get decent photographs at this time of year when it is so dull and dark both inside and out.

Just a little group gathering while I sorted out their shelf.

Happy Halloween

For our friends that celebrate..,. Happy Halloween 2019!

Orange Challenge 2019 - Day Six: Nomi

It's Nomi's turn today in Orange,

this little dress she found

It fitted her a treat

although she looks sad and pleading

it might have been because of the book she had been reading

Cheer up little Nomi,

It is not all bad

the sky is blue and the sun is shining, 

there really is no time to be sad.

Christmas 2018 - The Displays.

I will do a photo with all the Sasha girls together before they change out of the their Christmas clothes...but they will stay in situ until the 12th Day.  In the meantime I thought I would post a few photos of the various Christmas displays and decorations we have out this year.  After a very  minimalist Christmas last year, I went completely overboard this year! 

The Sasha girls adorned the dresser in the dining room

As well as the top of my writing bureau.

Tucked under the larger tree in the lounge were Peggy Sue and Clara as well as some of my Sindy dolls.

The other corner with the smaller tree started off like this...

But soon Big Betsy wanted to join in the fun as well as Henry of course.

Nomi also joined the party.

There are also some Sindys under this tree as well.

All good fun!

The Rose Cottage Hitty's also enjoyed decorating their home, and photos can be seen on their blog:

Peggy Sue's Birthday Party

Molly, Everlee and Emily have changed into some pretty dresses made several years ago (some for the first dresses I ever made for the Sasha dolls)  they wanted to go with a purple theme as they had heard that Peggy Sue likes purple.  They were on hand to greet the arriving guests.

Violet (Velvet) was the first to arrive and she was very excited as she hadn't been to one of Peggy Sue's parties before.

Next were Josefina and Sienna Saige.  

Gosh have you grown?  Emily asks them.

They chuckle.  We don't think so.  Sienna Saige tells them.

Next to arrive were Pauline, Patty and little Ruby Tuesday.

Welcome to the party.  Everlee says.

Oh hello Nomi.  Molly says.

I've brought a rose for Peggy Sue.  Nomi shows them.

That is so sweet of you.  The girls tell her.  Don't be shy, she should be here soon.

Sure enough, Peggy Sue arrives and Nomi presents her with the rose.

That really is the sweetest thing.  Peggy Sue says to Nomi.  Thank you.

While Peggy Sue is talking to Nomi, the other girls are starting to mingle and get to know each other.

Hello Josefina, so glad you could come.  Peggy Sue says.  

Sienna Saige told me you might be coming.

It is a shame Chrissy couldn't make it this year.

The stereo is in place.  The boys having moved it in for them earlier in the day.

Ruby Tuesday wonders how it works.

Molly explains that you put a record on it and there is a special needle that goes into the grooves and 'reads' the music.  It is very clever she says.

The girls are all starting to mingle and chat.

Emily and Molly catch up with Josefina's news.

It doesn't take them long to start eating the cake!

Nomi offers Pauline one. 

Thank you Nomi.  Pauline says.  That looks delicious.

These are very nice cakes.  Patty says to Peggy Sue.  

They are indeed.  Peggy Sue agrees.  Shall we have some more!

Yes please!  Violet says enthusiastically.

Earlier than I would have thought, the music has started and some of the girls are already up jivin'

Looks like they might be 'doing the twist'

Twist and turn...

The girls are having a lot of fun!  I have a feeling they might be dancing well into the night!

All the girls are wearing clothing made by myself except Ruby Tuesday who is wearing a dress my Nan knitted and Patty who is wearing a little outfit given to me.
