CHOICES

 Ann has sent me a big packet of Liberty Fabric pieces, what fun Rosie and Poppy were each to chose a fabric for a new dress ......my photos are not the best as it’s wet winter weather and the light is poor but here are the girls making their selections. Poppy chose a red and white floral, and Rosie found a fabric that would go with her winter coat. Now it’s over to the dressmaker (me) to get busy....

I'm trying to post from my iPad.. and hope to post more often in this shorter format.

Who’s the star.?

Someone is making sure she is the star of my planned photo session, had not finished setting up  when

Kaytu was there making a pose to look her best.

I have had a book made of the photos of Rosie's first year and the dress I made, it was a fun project and I now plan another calling it and then there were two, so this time it will include Poppy, have plenty of ideas and my phot sessions will need to be indoor ones as much as I would like to take photos in outdoor settings I can no longer work at ground level. -mobility problems which I am told are just old age.It is limiting life a little and I think has slowed me down but at least I can still stitch and about to go and look through a lovely pile of liberty fabrics that Ann has sent me and decide what to make next for the dolls.

Winter weather has been very extreme in parts of the country, wet and windy here but we have been fortunate no flooding. Good reason to sit and stitch.

JUNE AND JULY STITCHING

Its been too cold to come out to the computer hence no postings, have to admit to staying most of my time in the living room where the heat pump keeps the room warm. Today has been bright and sunny and that makes a big change, Lots of stitching over the past couple of months mainly dolls clothes, so here is an photo update of what I have made.

I started to set up to take some doll photos, it had to be inside as the weather outside is wet and windy, someone thought the table had been moved for her to use.

here is Poppy ready for a winter outing new jacket and slacks with scarf and hat knitted by Fiona.

Rosie also got a pair of slacks along with a waist coat and jumper. I would like to have had more of the lovely wool fabric I used for both doll's outfits.

 The jumpers were an idea I found on Pinterest and are made from very small socks .and I made several they were quick and easy 

Next both dolls got tops to wear with slacks 

or leggings.

and then new dresses, Poppy's was made from two different Liberty fabric both in the same colours and similar flowers with the small print one forming the dress bodice. its rather fun using fabric scraps and seeing what I can make from them.

 

 

I will share the new aprons next time and sign off letting  Kaytu have the limelight again
