Peggy Sue's New Friend

I meant to post this at the end of May!

The other day I looked up and saw these two chatting.  It was uncanny really as I hadn't set them up like this, but sure enough they look like they were in deep conversation.


Turns out they have become very good friends having found things in common.

Both of them of course have red/auburn hair.  Robyn is the great (or is it great great?) grand daughter of Emily Bennett who returned to England after the war.  Peggy Sue is of course American and came to England in November 2012, so they have a similar heritage.  Of course Peggy Sue lived through the war being over 100 years old, although she strangely is still a child.  


Having decided they are firm friends, they wanted to have similar clothes. 


These two hand  knitted dresses look so pretty on them.  It was a lovely wool to knit with and drapes well.

They have requested various items of clothing....


Here they have dresses knitted from the same yarn.  The patterning on Peggy Sue's skirt makes it look a little odd. 


The girls were excited to get a new settee


and tried it out for size


Robyn felt sleepy after a while.

In June they had to go to the mainland (blood tests and specialist appointment)


So enjoyed staying up late to catch the midnight ferry!



Peggy Sue met a mermaid and was puzzled as to why she was so far away from the sea and looked most concerned.


Robyn met the resident pig riding dwarf!


Coming back they got to see the ferry leaving the port.



They just chatted on the way back about their adventures.

At the beginning of July they had to go back up again (more blood tests!)


This time the weather was a better, and they got to spend some time in the garden.


They visited with Katie, who belongs to The Princess


Katie showed them the peppers and other plants in the garden.




Wren also joined them.


What fun they had despite it being a very quick visit.

I wonder what they will get up to next?

80th Anniversary of VE Day


Rose Cottage Friends celebrated the 80th Anniversary of VE Day.


It was very gentile with tea and cakes.


Peggy Sue is having a conversation with April, whilst Saige and Henry look on.


The twins have been serving the tea.


At the little table we have Bowie, Kiwi Sindy, Marie and Wren.




Lindsey and Chrissy are having a good chat too.


Something has caught Saige's attention.


I think they are having a lovely afternoon in the sun.



The twins wonder if anyone needs a top up.


Little Saffron sits with Chrissy, she is the smallest member of the party today.

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.
