A Doll a Day in April: Day 29 - Maddison

My beautiful Shelly B repaint, Maddison, is my doll today.  For the first time in ages she has changed out of her 'Rose Hip Chicks' costume to wear this pretty dress I made a number of years ago.  She looks so good in it.

So one more day to go! 

 

A Doll a Day in April: Day 16 - Molly

Today's doll is my darling Molly.  She was one of my first Sasha dolls, and a firm favourite of mine.

She had greening eyes and eyebrows which I darkened back to her proper colour.

She was part of the Rose Hip Chicks girl band, but found she suffered from stage fright and would get sick so they had to get someone else.

She has been changed into a pretty yellow dress

Doesn't she look absolutely delightful?

Such a little sweetheart.

 

A Doll A Day for April: Day Three - Everlee Rose Morgan

Today's doll for today is Everlee Rose Morgan, my 1970s Sasha.

She is one of my favourite Sasha dolls...but shhh don't tell the rest.

The garden is looking pretty

So is Everlee Rose.

She has such a lovely face.

I don't know who made her outfit as it was given to me.

But she looks good in it.

 

Advent 2023 - Day Twenty Four: Christmas Eve!

 

Christmas Eve and the Rose Hip Chicks are going to do a Christmas Performance...

They have had to sack their wardrobe crew though as their special Christmas waistcoats didn't get made...

So instead they had to borrow some for the Gregor lads.  Just as well!  Perhaps next year they will get ones to match their skirts and t shirts?

So they gather round to find the last door of the Calendar

They find a pretty Christmas tree behind the door.

The perfect end for the calendar

Thank you girls, I am sure we are going to enjoy your Christmas Carol concert later tonight.

Well that is the last of the Advent Calendar openings for this year.  I am not sure if I am going to do them anymore.  I have been doing them for twelve years now on my blogs since 2012,  starting on my 'Sewing for Sasha' blog, and I'm just not sure the interest in them is there anymore like it was at the beginning.  I think also I might have moved on from wanting to do them, it is a lot of work.  We will just have to wait and see what next year brings. 

We wish all our friends a wonderful Christmas. 

 

Advent 2023 - Day Four

 

The beautiful Sophia is opening the calendar today and she shows off her pretty dress.

She looks for the number four

and opens it up and reaches in.

I wonder what will be inside.

Now what is this?

Oh that looks like it might be a mixer!

She starts to put it together.

Yes it is a mixer!

Perfect for the little bakery.

She puts it on the little scene.

The baker looks like she is pleased with it.

Sophia takes one last look before she joins the other girls. 

Advent 2023 - Day Three

 

Emily welcomes you to Day three of the Advent Calendar openings.

She was excited when she say there was quite a large door for day three and couldn't wait to open it.

As she opens the door she wonders what it is.

Looks like a table or counter to display the cakes.

She puts it together

and then places it on the little scene.

The baker looks happy to have a display counter.

Emily has chosen this dress to wear for Christmas this year.

Thank you Emily for sharing today's calendar opening.

 

Advent 2023 - Day Two

 

It is Molly's turn to open the Advent Calendar today.

Everlee helps Molly look for number two

Molly bends down to open it

Ooh I wonder what is inside?

Molly looks at the gift while Everlee watches.

I wonder what this is?

Strange, they look a bit big!

They are cookie cutters, let's make some cookies.

The cook doesn't look so impressed.

How am I supposed to use those?!  She exclaims.

The girls are excited about Christmas

They are hoping I get the decorations down from the loft soon so they can decorate their trees.

Come back tomorrow for Day Three!
