A Doll a Day in April: Day Nine - Kiwi Sindy

My doll for today is Kiwi Sindy.  She is special to me as I found her in a charity shop in NZ in 2019, the last time I went to visit my parents.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to after that due to the restrictions put in place, and then I had terrible back pain, and then I wasn't well enough.

I found her with a Robin Rive bear in Huntley.

She was quite the mess.

I gave her a good wash and knitted an outfit for her while there, and bought a felted hat and boots from a craft fair.

Here she is at my Mum & Dad's place.

Today she is sitting in the garden admiring the flowers and enjoying the lovely weather.

 

Sewing for March

 I have been doing a little sewing the last week of March, it is good to feel up to sewing again.

I made a couple of these dresses, one for myself, and one for a friend.

This dress I made for my grand daughter - I have a little brunette Les Cherie Corolle doll that I will be giving her for her birthday in June with a little wardrobe of clothes.

This I made for a friend, she likes hot air balloons.

This dress I made for another friend who sent me the fabric, oh gosh, a long time ago!

I made this little dress for Wren.

I made two Easter dresses, the one above for me and the one below for a friend.

I made this dress for my Barbie Bestie doll.

Lastly I made this little dress for my Not a Blythe Blythe.

A Little Get Together at the Seaside

Thursday morning we spent a couple of hours with some friends down at the beach.

The boys went riding on their Vespas

Nelson took the bike, but Tom prefers his skateboard

Patrick and Gordon share their bike

 

So off they go quite happily until....

They spot Wren...oops!

Did you ASK to use my Vespa Nelson?

Perhaps it is time to move on to someone else, and leave them to their discussions...

Henry came too, this must be one of the first outings he has done in a very long time.

I think he enjoyed himself...well at least until a little later...

They all pose for a group photo.

Little Button Mushroom joins in.

I think Helen is interested in the boys!

Poor Henry doesn't look very happy here...he is dripping wet as he fell backwards into the water!

The girls show where they are on the map.
