Is it Morning Already?

Aw...Peggy Sue yawns, Is it morning already?    

It certainly is.  Little Owen tells her.

I suppose I better get dressed then.  Peggy Sue says as she looks at what she got out last night to wear this morning.

Hmmm...I'm not really sure I want to accept Autumn is already upon us. I don't know if I want to wear this... Peggy Sue thinks to herself.  But it does feel like it is.

She gets dressed and Little Owen ties up the waist ribbon for her.

There you go Peggy Sue, all tied.  Little Owen tells her.

Peggy Sue puts on her shoes.

You look very autumnal Peggy Sue.  Little Owen says.

But I don't want it to be Autumn already.  Peggy Sue replies.

Peggy Sue makes her bed.

and places her little cushion 'just so'.  

I wonder who that is at the door?  Peggy Sue hears a noise at the door.

It is her little sister wanting to know if she wants to play with her.

The girls sit down and play with the little wooden dolls.

Do you know it will be nearly Christmas?  Norma Jean asks her.

Oh no please!  Don't talk about Christmas yet!  Peggy Sue exclaims in horror.  It is far too soon for that.

 

Schoenhut Series - Norma Jean

Hello Norma Jean, what are you doing?  Peggy Sue asks.

I don't know.  Replies Norma Jean.  It is so wet out today.  

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Mum has even re-done my hair.

Perhaps I will do some reminiscing...

Norma Jean has been with me for a few years now and used to belong to a friend of mine.    She was originally called Gladys Jean.  I am not sure I ever did a 'proper' formal introduction to her, so will do a post now, and if I did it was on my 'How Many Dolls' blog.

She didn't come wearing a dress, so I had to make her one.   Oh to be able to just whip up a dress like I used to!  Where oh where is that MOJO gone?!  Her wig didn't quite fit so she borrowed another.

Peggy Sue welcomes her.  Before the dress above was made she was wearing the only other dress available that fitted at the time.

This style of dress just didn't really suit her and made her look so much 'older'.  

The short wig didn't really suit her, but she put on her smiling face and with a flower in her hair she was quite happy.

Back in 2015 I decided to give her a bit of a makeover and managed to find another wig that fitted her quite well and I made her a new dress.

I forgot that I made a detachable lace collar for this dress....I wonder where it has gone?!

Tying her hair back she looks really sweet and is quite the nature lover.

She remembers she wanted to know if she could keep the little red squirrel...

The photos above were taken in Autumn 2015 and yes she is still wearing that same dress - she says she likes it so why not?!
