Pretty in Pink

And a 'just because' post of my dear Peggy Sue.

I made her a new dress and a little short sleeve cardigan.

She is very pleased to be getting some attention after such a long time.

I think she looks so pretty in this.  

I don't think I have dressed her much in pink before, but it suits her.

 

Advent 2023 - Day Eleven

 

Today Peggy Sue is going to be opening the calendar as because as those who know my previous blogs, will know that Peggy Sue is an honorary Sasha and has attended several Sasha Festivals and events in the past.  

She of course is very excited to be opening the window 

She looks for it

and kneels down to open it.

Pulls out the packet

What have you got there?

Cooking utensils!

They will come in handy that is for sure.

She puts the little items in the bakery on the counter top.

Oh just right.

Thank you Peggy Sue 

 

St Patrick's Day Preparation - Part One

Three of the girls have started getting ready for St Patrick's Day by dressing in green.

Mary Ellen & Amber

Mary Ellen is a 1969 Dungarees Sasha by Trendon and she is wearing a smocked gingham dress.

Amber is one of the first Sasha dolls I got, and she came from Shelly of SashaDollsUK which is now sadly closed down.   Amber is a Large Head Yellow Eyed Pony Tail Gotz Sasha from the 1960s and she is wearing a smocked green dress.

Peggy Sue is wearing a party dress I made for her one year, I believe for her birthday party.  

Peggy Sue is a Schoenhut Miss Dolly who was in a bad state of over paint and has been stripped back to her bare wood.

 

The Wooden Girls Dressed for Spring/Easter

Hazel, Peggy Sue, Hitty Madge and Hitty Morag are now dressed in yellow too.  

All the dresses were made by me.

Peggy Sue loves her yellow gingham dress with lace trim.

Hazel is wearing her smart yellow dress

Hitty Madge and Hitty Morag in their yellow dresses made by myself.  

Both Hitty dolls were hand-carved by me.

 

Happy New Year 2021!

Lewis and Peggy Sue wish all their friends a Very Happy New Year

 

An Advent Afternoon Tea Party

The Rose Cottage Friends were invited to an Advent Afternoon Tea Party so new dresses had to be made - of course!  Nothing like leaving it to the last minute though.  Both Peggy Sue and Mary got a new dress.

Peggy Sue got given some new tights from her friend Poppy and couldn't wait to show them off as they matched her dress so well.

Pru, one of the hosts was given a new dress by Peggy Sue and Mary and she tried it on immediately and seemed pretty pleased with it.  Henry felt a little out of place with the Schoenhut girls...

So went to say hello to the Sasha girls before going to spend some time with FredErik.

Pru and Mary enjoyed some special time together

I think they are going to become very good friends.

 

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!  

An Afternoon Tea

Peggy Sue and Co, had a lovely afternoon tea at their friend's house yesterday.

It was so lovely for them to spend time together.

The afternoon tea was delightful, such a yummy spread!

Lucy read out loud for a little while which Janice enjoyed.

Peggy Sue very much enjoyed cake whilst little Annie cuddled her new doll.

You really should try this cake, Peggy Sue says.

Later, after her 'spa' Anne-Marie joined them.

She feels so pretty now, and is thrilled with the Spa Treatment Aunty Chris gave her.

Later she is joined by Rebekah Grace and Margaret (Little Maggie)

Annie is joined by her sister Lucy who also had some spa treatment.

Such a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

 

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.
