A Doll A Day in April: Day 25 - Baby Natalie

 

Today's gorgeous Sasha baby is my doll of the day, and I found her in 2019 in a Charity Shop!  What a treat that was.  She is wearing a little one piece romper suit with matching booties I made. 

 

A Doll a Day in April: Day 23 - Ginger George & Happy St George's Day

 

Ginger George tends to spend his time as a sailor nowadays...but perhaps it is time for a change, we will see! 

In the meantime he wishes you a Happy St George's Day!

Advent 2023 - Day Twelve

Today it is Robyn's turn to open the calendar.

Robyn is a new baby to Sasha Haven.  She was such a great price and came wearing her beautiful Robin dress, for which she is named.

She can pull herself up, but the little window is too high up for her.

She just can't quite reach!

Oh I wonder what you have in there? It looks like a cookie tray!

In her rush to want to put it in the little bakery, we forgot to photograph it!

Here is the baker carrying it.

Thank you Robyn for opening the calendar today.

Such a sweet little baby.

 

Advent 2023 - Day Ten

Day Ten sees this little re-rooted baby come to open the Calendar

She was a little brunette who I originally bought for my baby grand daughter, but she arrived with such badly falling hair I ended up getting another sweet baby for her, and got this one re-rooted.

She is a sweet little girl.

She has learnt to pull her self up and stand so is looking hard for day ten.

I think she found it.

She pulls out the little packages.

Oh, looks like she has some little stickers and containers to put them on.

All made up.

Eggs and baking ingredients.

She looks pretty pleased.

She puts them on the work surface.

I think Father Christmas approves too.

Very good.

Can you pick me up now please?

 

Advent 2023 - Day Nine

Today Baby Amelia, my first Sasha baby is going to open the Advent Calendar.

She is wearing a little dress I made for her (as all the girls so far have been wearing dresses I made)

She is a little cutie.

Fortunately the door is down nice and low for her.

Wow, that is a big package!

Ta Da, she got the ovens for the bakery

With a little help she got them in place and we put the candle decoration on top.

She peeps at the scene.

I think she is very happy with it.

What a great job you did Amelia.

 

My Baby Sasha & Gregor Collection

On the Sasha group on FB, they hold theme weeks, and last week it was Baby Sasha/Gregor.  Of course I am slow to jump on the bandwagon, and hence doing this post the following week, as an attempt to start blogging again...no promises though!  Anyway without further ado, I thought I'd show my babies...those who are long term followers of my blog both this one and my previous blogs, will know most of the babies, but there are a couple of new ones.

The girls.

Baby Amelia, one of the first babies I got is an early seventies sexed baby with raised eyelids.

Baby Grace, another of my first babies again early seventies sexed baby with raised eyelids.

Gotz Meike, whom I got at a Sasha Festival a number of years ago is still a minty baby.

Baby Natalie, my £1.30 charity shop bargain!

This little baby I bought in my quest for the 'perfect baby' for my little grand-daughter.  She is lovely, but she just wasn't 'right' so has stayed with me.  The collar on her dress is rather large, I might take it off and try to make it smaller.  I changed her into another dress.

This one I made a few years ago with some vintage fabric I had.

I think it was the stray hairs on her face which is part of the reason I didn't think she was 'just right'.

This was another baby that I got hoping she would be suitable for my grand daughter, but when she arrived she had terrible falling hair.  I should have sent her back, but accepted a small reduction in her price, and then spent more money getting her re-rooted.  It is a lovely job, but again I ended up not feeling that she was 'just right' for my grand daughter...so the search continued.

The baby I got in the end was perfect, lovely soft well rooted hair.  

I made a dress with matching bloomers for her, and she is now called Baby Lulu.

Next up we have the boys...

Cheeky lads they are!  All wearing clothing I have made them.

Baby Alfie was one of my first babies, is an early boy with raised eyelids.

Baby Barney Bam Bam, usually referred to as just 'Baby' has led Peggy Sue a wild chase at times in the past...

Baby Pirate... wearing the outfit I made for the #dollsgonegothpirates challenge.

Lastly we have the Sailor gang.
